Museggmauer

If you want a bird view to the entire town, climb up to the tower! It’s beautiful from up there. But mid you, the stairs up there can be quite steep so be prepared for that. There’s a quiet area at the back where you can relax and read a book. There’s a cute cat in the complex. See if you can spot him.

This is just one of the towers along the old city walls. Highly enjoyable and I loved going up all the towers even though there wasn’t much inside them. At the top of them you get some amazing views. It’s free too!

From the lower parts of the town of Lucerne, I saw the high walls which intrigued me. We ventured up there and started to climb the many steps towards the top of the watchtower and Clocktower. This gives you one of the most pictures views of the town. There are a lot of steps, so it’s not for the faint of heart or people who might struggle with climbing.

Nice area of Lucerne. We came here in the evening for a stroll and found it very relaxing and nice. Lovely experience and I would suggest all tourists to come towards this side of Luzerne. It was not that crowded as well. Recommended!

A must walk on the historical defense walls surrounding the old town. Possibility to visit several towers along the way. Display of ancient clocks system and machines. Great view.

A must-do historical visit in Lucerne! Plan to spend around 2 hours if you want to climb multiple towers and walk along the ramparts. Each tower is different, so be prepared for lots of stairs!

I really enjoyed the greenspace around this area and the wall and towers themselves. The walk up from the city is nice and shaded by the trees. I even got to see a small lizard. If you don't want to walk up the hill, there is also a bus stop on the otherwise of the wall. Be aware: while beautiful, the towers are not readily accessible to those with mobility concerns and the walkways within and between the towers are somewhat narrow.

A visit to Lucerne isn't complete without a walk along the historic Musegg Wall. It feels like you're stepping back in time as you explore these incredible medieval fortifications. The best part is climbing up into the towers that are open to the public. Each step of the climb is rewarded with increasingly beautiful sights. The windows perfectly frame picture-postcard views of Lucerne's old town, the sparkling lake, and the stunning mountain ranges in the distance. It's a fantastic and free activity that offers some of the best panoramic photo opportunities in the city. Truly a must-do experience. Highly recommended!
