    Lovely Luzern (Swiss spelling) is nestled on the banks of the Reuss River and Lake Luzern. We arrived by train in the early afternoon, and had time to explore. Luzern has pedestrian bridges and 2 historic covered wooden bridges (Dating from the 14th and 16th centuries). Both bridges are decorated with 17 century paintings. One has a 13th century stone water tower.

    One of several medieval churches is the Church of St. Ledegar. Built in 1633 on the site of a monastery (dating from 735), it is in the Gothic and German Rennaisance architectural style. Its interior has frescoes, statues, a 16th century organ, and gold gilt altars.

    The video is one of many little medieval city squares with beautiful decorations and paintings on the buildings.
