History & heritage

Lucerne was the first city to join the three founding cantons, in 1332. It later became the leading Catholic canton of central Switzerland.

The Chapel Bridge, Mount Pilatus and the lake make it one of the most visited places in the country, and its summer music festival is world-renowned.
