The Chapel Bridge and the Rathaus in Lucerne

From the banks of the Reuss, this vista offers an atmospheric view of the famous Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke) and the historic center of Lucerne. To the right stands the richly painted Zunfthaus zu Pfistern, while on the opposite side, the stately Rathaus dominates the cityscape. The combination of historic architecture, the water, and the lively bridge makes this one of the most characteristic spots in the Swiss city.
