The Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke) is more than just a bridge—it’s the soul of Lucerne. Dating back to the 14th century, this stunning covered wooden bridge stretches across the Reuss River, adorned with a series of historic paintings under its roof that depict important moments from Swiss history.
At its center stands the Wasserturm (Water Tower), once used as a prison and watchtower, now an unmistakable symbol of the city. Walking through the bridge feels like stepping into a storybook, especially when the reflection of its timber frame glimmers on the water with the backdrop of the Swiss Alps.
The bridge is especially charming in spring and summer, when colorful flowers line its edges, making it one of the most photographed spots in Switzerland. Whether by day or night, the Chapel Bridge captures Lucerne’s charm perfectly.
✨ Tip: For the best views, take a stroll along the riverbank at sunset, when the bridge glows in golden light with the mountains in the distance.
