- Torbogen Luzern - Originally part of the Lucerne train station constructed in 1896, this archway was the sole survivor of a catastrophic fire in 1971.

The inscription “Sic transit gloria mundi” serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of human accomplishments.
- Jesuitenkirche - Constructed between 1666 and 1677, the Jesuit Church is Switzerland’s first significant Baroque church. Built by the Jesuits during the Counter-Reformation, it aimed to reinforce the Catholic faith in the area. This splendid structure remains a notable example of Baroque sacred architecture and a key feature of Lucerne’s cityscape.
- Pont Spreuer - The Spreuer Bridge, established in 1408, is one of Lucerne’s historic wooden bridges. Initially part of the city’s defenses, it facilitated the disposal of chaff (“Spreu”) into the river. Decorated with 67 17th-century paintings illustrating the “Dance of Death,” it stands as a rare example of medieval art and architecture, highlighting Lucerne’s rich history.
- Old Town Lucerne - Lucerne’s Old Town is a well-preserved medieval center, known for its charming squares, frescoed buildings, and narrow alleys. With landmarks like the Chapel Bridge and the Musegg Wall, it reflects the city’s rich history and serves as a lively hub of culture, shopping, and dining, merging tradition with modernity.
- Lion Monument - Carved in 1821, the Lion Monument honors the Swiss Guards who perished during the French Revolution in 1792. Depicting a dying lion, it symbolizes courage and sacrifice. Mark Twain described it as “the most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world,” making it a significant landmark in Lucerne’s history.
- Chapel Bridge - Built in 1333, the Chapel Bridge is Lucerne’s iconic wooden bridge and one of the oldest in Europe. It features 17th-century triangular paintings depicting the city’s history. Although partially destroyed by fire in 1993, it was restored and continues to be a symbol of Lucerne’s heritage and resilience.
