The symbol
Everyone knows it, and yet it is always a special experience to stroll across the Chapel Bridge, the symbol of the city of Lucerne. Did you know that the Chapel Bridge with its famous picture cycle is the second longest covered wooden bridge in Europe?

Great views
The "Zeitturm" (Cytturm), whose construction dates back to 1406, was formerly part of Lucerne's city fortifications. Today its interior houses a collection of old clockworks. Anyone who has managed to climb the 138 steps to the top is rewarded with a breathtaking view of the city and the surrounding countryside.

The world of hot engines
Or do you prefer hot engines? The Swiss Museum of Transport with its large collection of cars, ships, aircraft and other vehicles of all kinds enchant not only families with children. Adults can also be fascinated by the themes of communication and transport. It is not for nothing that the Swiss Museum of Transport is the most popular museum in Switzerland.

End the day in a romantic way
End an eventful day with a candlelight dinner on Lake Lucerne. While the setting sunbathes the landscape in a warm light, you can enjoy a fine aperitif and a 3-course menu on the historic steamboat. It could hardly be more romantic!

A great thing for hotels
“As a hotelier, I appreciate the model. Unlike other booking portals, HotelCard does not take commission on bookings. HotelCard members are welcome guests at our hotel and are a real asset, especially in the low season”

Win-win situation for all involved

A great thing and I think it really is a win-win situation for everyone. Thank you very much and have fun and success searching and finding nice partner hotels. See you in the next inspiring newsletter."
