Take a wonderful walk around the Old Town and shop to your heart’s content along the pretty cobbled streets, featuring top high street fashion names. Don’t forget to walk and view the Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke), the famous 204-meter long wooden covered bridge originally built in 1333, regarded as the oldest covered bridge in Europe. Later, visit the Lion Monument (the Lion of Lucerne), a rock relief designed by Bertel Thorvaldsen. It commemorates the Swiss Guards who were massacred in 1792 during the French Revolution when revolutionaries stormed the Tuileries Palace in Paris. The carving is often heralded as “the most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world.
