Day 4 : Christmas Eve Lucerne

We spend the day at leisure in the lovely city of Lucerne, surrounded by breathtaking alpine scenery. Lucerne has long since charmed its visitors, on account of its beautiful setting and many historic places of interest. The old town is a delight to explore, with its crystal-clear canal and architectural wonders, and be sure to visit the Lion Monument, which is a memorial to the Swiss soldiers who lost their lives during the French Revolution. The oldest clock in Lucerne, Zytturm, should also be on your list of things to see. Why not join our optional lake cruise and soak up the sights from a unique perspective?
