Lucerne occupies a peculiar position in Swiss tourism — famous enough to attract millions of visitors, yet intimate enough that a single evening walk along the Reuss can feel like the city is entirely yours. The lake, the mountains, and the light that connects them: this is the version of Switzerland the postcards are trying — and mostly failing — to capture.
Draft in progress. Photos and full write-up coming soon. The skeleton is here — the story follows.
