Creator's Key Takeaways

I had a little less than 2 days to explore this gorgeous City and I had a full list of things to see and do

It was a little overcast and foggy when we got to the area where we were going to stop the Mountain Rose up high with hotels at the top and bottom

This was definitely an amazing destination that I would highly recommend

for solo Travelers the city felt very safe in all the locations I visited

YouTube Video Description

On a recent solo trip to Lucerne, I spent 2 days exploring the town, lake and surrounding mountains. I had a list of things to see and do and I manage to complete my list, which included a cogwheel train up to Mt. Pilatus, a boat cruise on Lake Lucerne, visits to the Covered Bridge, Altstadt or Old Town, the Lion Monument, the Musegg Wall, the Swiss Transport Museum, the Church of Leodegar or Hofskirche, and the Jesuit Church. Lucerne is a glorious city--one of my favorite in all of Europe. For solo travelers, it is a very safe city. For senior travelers, there is quite a bit of elevation surrounding the lake, so for those with mobility issues it can be challenging unless you want to take taxis everywhere. @seniorsolotravel Travel Facebook Forum: https://www.facebook.com/groups/443309331791413 Senior Solo Travel Website: https://www.seniorsolotravel.net/ Pilatus Railway: https://www.pilatus.ch/en/discover/cogwheel-railway Switzerland Tourism & Boat Cruise info: https://www.myswitzerland.com/en-us/experiences/boat-cruises-on-lake-lucerne/ Videos from Switzerland and Italy trip: 5 Things to do in Venice, Italy: https://youtu.be/7Uj8nirIB4A 10 Things to know before visiting Venice: https://youtu.be/poRZEzZvWrU Lugano, Switzerland: https://youtu.be/YXlVT-iPipU Lucerne, Switzerland: https://youtu.be/nzqu1gTq9WM Basel, Switzerland: https://youtu.be/2RBv9kuB9D0 Milan, Italy: https://youtu.be/FNDRM6FWqrk Lake Como Day Trip: Coming Soon!
