Luzern

Luzern, gateway to the Alps!

Little is known about this amazing town before 1178, other than the Alemannic movement after the fall of the Roman Empire. Which I find incredible but considering the inhabitants were Benedictine Monks, maybe not so hard to believe.
GORGEOUS, very Swiss (probably a good reason for that :), relaxing, bustling, a delight for the eyes & soul.
The style of EVERYTHING is more than impressive & wheels of cheese SO HUGE in shop windows, it's laughable :D I'm talking a good 3' in diameter :O!!! Yes, the cheese is also Swiss ;D & it has the honor of it's own festival !
One medieval square after another surrounded by the frequently hazy & slightly snowy Mt. Pilatus & Rigi.

William Tell, the counts of Habsburg, art, architecture, finance, festivals, carnivals throughout the year, Kulturkompromiss, indeed something for everyone! Guggenmusigen play their instruments while strolling the busy streets & the population is smiling :)

5 stars, magnificent!
