Luzern - Day 1

Luzern is beautiful, set on the Lake and the Reuss River, surrounded by mountain peaks. Full of European charm, lived in, and vibrant.

After a long time in immigration and a quick trip from the Zurich Airport, we arrived at Hotel Anker. They had arranged for us to have early check-in and a larger suite, which was much appreciated. The hotel is not far from the Old Town, the Harbor, and the Train. It's all very walkable. The included breakfast is excellent, and the hotel restaurant is also great for dinner.

A few photos from our walk in the Old Town. Commercial/retail buildings in the Old Town must have residential upper floors, so the Old Town is lived in and home to real people. There’s a noticeable absence of junky tourist shops.

The weather here is very changeable. During our walk, it poured rain, but we were treated to a beautiful rainbow.

To escape the rain, we darted into the Opus Wine bar and treated ourselves to Swiss pastries and cappuccinos. Czytaj więcej
