Luzern / Lucerne, Switzerland

Photos from the city or canton of Lucerne, Switzerland

The aim of this group is to present a multi-faceted view of Lucerne. Both pictures of landmarks and of everyday life are welcome. All photos posted should contain a short description in English and/or German, giving at least the name of the town or village; for photos from the city of Lucerne please add the name of the city district or of the street. Geotagging is appreciated, though not mandatory.

As the group has grown, it inevitably contains dozens of Chapel Bridges and Lion Monuments. This is fine as long as you can bring in new aspects. But there is a little bit more to Lucerne ... Please show us also things from Lucerne you wouldn't find in a tourist guide.

To give all members a fair chance to present their pictures, posting is limited to 3 photos per day.
