Yelp Review 2026 #122:…read more A fun thing to do and an amazing place to visit. I got with a discount for being a Swiss Travel Pass holder. The bus stop is right in front of this place so it's super easy to get to. I got here a few minutes after they opened. So, there were quite a few people without being crowded. Except some of the people who were there were obnoxiously loud and it echoes through the cave. There are signs posted to be quiet but some people choose to ignore signs. There are parts that are a bit slick, some parts you have to bend a little bit as the ceiling is low, there are steps and stairs, it's chilly since it's a cave. Si, be sure to bring a jacket and wear the right shoes. Be mindful of those with mobility issues, they might have to wait for you at the restaurant (it's still a steep trek though) while you tour the cave. A lot of people would take breaks on the way to the entrance. Bring water. Each part of the cave is numbered so just follow the numbers - however the arrows can be confusing. I got to number 18 and didn't know where to go I ended going back to where I came from so I walked back to 18, walked the opposite direction and made it to 19-22 before exiting. "According to a legend, St. Beatus lived here in the 2nd century, who was believed to be one of the Irish messengers of the faith. After his arrival, Beatus is said to have driven away the dragon dwelling in the cave and then settled there to preach the teachings of Christianity and heal the sick." You'll see St. Beatus' cell, stalactites, stalagmites, and grottoes. You can have a nice view of Lake Thun from here.

The views from the top and outside are truly magical, overlooking a massive lake that makes the entire visit feel surreal. QUICK heads-up... there is quite a bit of walking and many steps, and some areas can be slippery, so it may not be ideal for anyone with limited mobility. That said, if you're able to do the walk, it's 100% worth it. A truly beautiful and memorable experience.

We stayed at a hotel on the other side of the river and walked across a lovely bridge to get here. You start at the bottom of the hill where there is a one lane road. While there are cars (or were, when we visited), mostly there are pedestrians and bicyclists. The lane is full of little shops and restaurants all vying for your attention and money. Eventually you come to a wide and tall (long) staircase going up. At the top is what is considered Lindenhof Hill, a quaint park with gorgeous views across the river and towards Lake Zurich. There is a fountain and old pumping station, as well as some Roman artifacts. It's a nice park to just sit and take in the views, or play a game of giant chess/checkers. The streets are all narrow in this area, but once you leave the hill, you need to find Thermengasse. It is a covered pedestrian walkway with grating for a walkway. Underneath the grating is an exposed archeological dig of a Roman heating system. There is signage throughout the passageway telling you all about it. As night began to fall, we made our way around the area, just taking everything all in. We ended up by the Fraumuenster church and walked across the Muenster bridge towards the Niederdorf area. If we had had more time, we would have explored the area more, but we were happy with the highlights we did see. It was a nice little introduction to the city. 78/2025

There's more history there that is still being uncovered. Some items found around the Lindenhof date back to the 1st century BC. Today, it's a large park with incredible views of Zurich and the Limmat River. We saw groups of people playing boules in the grassy area on a Sunday, as well as people playing chess. There's a fountain in the middle of the square that pays homage to Hedwig's women who wore battle gear to defend the city during the seige of Zurich in 1292. It's worth seeking out as it can be quite peaceful up there even though it's a tourist hot spot. The walk up the somewhat steep pathway and steps to get there from the city center is worth it. I've read that there is an elevator for those with mobility issues, but I didn't see one. There are benches as well as places to sit along the wall. It's shady and breezy up there. A great place to relax and enjoy the view.

This old wooden bridge crossing over the Reuss River may be smaller than the more popular Chapel…read moreBridge, but it definitely has more personality. It's the one with the triangular-shaped Kaspar Meglinger "Dance of Death" paintings. I'm guessing that they've been restored over the years. They actually looked well-preserved considering they've been exposed to the elements under the trusses of the bridge since the mid-17th century. The skeletal death guy in all the paintings is kind of creepy. Oh, and there is a Grim Reaper too. Can you imagine walking over this bridge at night while looking at all those spider-webbed paintings? We decided to take this route on the way to visiting the towers along the Musegg Wall that once fortified the city. It also happens to be the site of the hydroelectric plant and the beaver ramp. I'm not sure if beavers actually use it, but it's there in case they need to pass over the rough downstream water to get to Lake Lucerne. It's all explained with descriptive informational markers. That whole area is kind of cool. It was interesting to see even though half the bridge was under construction at the time we were there (Sept 2025). You can still see the paintings above the scaffolding. It's definitely worthy of a cross over at some point during your stay in Lucerne.

If you're in Lucerne and looking for an unforgettable day trip, Mount Pilatus offers an experience…read morethat's hard to beat. From stunning views to exciting transportation options, this Swiss gem has it all. We were part of a guided tour group and started with a bus ride ( gathered as a group in a parking lot where a tour bus took us further from there) to the cable cars base station at Kriens. For a scenic journey up the mountain, we got into the aerial cable cars ( small ones to begin with and then the big one towards the end of the ride closer to the summit). The ride itself was a highlight, offering sweeping views of Lucerne, Lake Lucerne, and the surrounding Swiss Alps. As we ascended, we could see the landscape transform from lush green meadows to rocky, snow-dusted peaks. The ride was smooth, relaxing, and gave us plenty of opportunities to look at those breathtaking vistas. Reaching the top of Mount Pilatus at 2,132 meters was a moment of pure awe. The panoramic views are jaw-dropping and on a clear day, you can see all the way to the Jura Mountains and the Black Forest in Germany. The alpine landscape was absolutely stunning, and we found ourselves just standing there, taking it all in.The clouds were moving fast in and out though for our initial part of the trip it was pretty cloudy all the way. There are several hiking trails at the summit, ranging from easy walks to more challenging routes. We chose to stroll along some of the easier paths, which were well-maintained and offered even more incredible views of the surrounding peaks. The summit also features the "Dragon Path," which was a cool, slightly daring way to experience the mountain, with its narrow walkways and dramatic cliffside views. Few of us chose to venture in there but it definitely was worth the effort. After exploring the summit, we took a break at one of the restaurants at the top. We ate at Restaurant Bellevue where by you essentially pick a plate size and fill it up and pay by the plate and not by the weight of the contents. Costly for sure though at that height that's something that is to be expected. The view from the restaurant can be good to great depending on the moving clouds and your seating as well. There happens to be Pilatus Kulm Hotel as well that offers a cozy atmosphere and place to stay for those that choose to stay up atop the summit. For the descent, the tour package had the iconic Pilatus cogwheel train down from the summit. The journey was thrilling, with the train descending at a steep incline almost like we were riding into a postcard. The views kept changing as we moved down the mountain, from lush forests to alpine meadows and finally back to the picturesque lakeside. Once we reached the bottom, we capped off the adventure with a relaxing ferry ride back to Lucerne. Cruising across Lake Lucerne was the perfect way to wind down after a day full of adventure, with the sun reflecting off the water and the mountain peaks in the distance. It was peaceful, serene, and the perfect conclusion to an incredible day. Our trip to Mount Pilatus was nothing short of amazing. Whether you're seeking thrilling outdoor activities or simply want to take in some of the most stunning views in Switzerland, this mountain has something for everyone. The combination of cable cars, the cogwheel train, and the ferry ride made for an unforgettable experience that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Lucerne

Pilatus felt like something out of a postcard. There are plenty of viewing platforms, short hikes, and photo spots, all with clear signage. We enjoyed the snow at the summit. Everything was clean, safe, and very Swiss-level efficient. Going down toward Alpnachstad was quite long that my sister fell asleep, but incredible. It's not cheap, but the experience fully lives up to the price. Pro tip: go early on a clear day to avoid crowds and get the best views.
