Definitely worth the walk up only trick is stairs or steep be careful with your footing. Your heart rate will definitely go up as you climb. Views are wonderful.

Free to visit and enter. A nice coin machine is on the second floor that will make a pressed coin if you insert a 2 franc and 20 cent coin. The views from the towers and walkway are excellent.

Great view and fun to walk the town walls. Free

Very interesting and historical gate tower, part of the defensive network of towers and wall built to protect Lucerne in the early 1400s. Another must-see site on your visit to Lucerne with beautiful views from the top of the tower. However, be prepared to climb wooden and stone stairs to reach the top.

The fa t you can walk in at no charge is a bonus. The views over old town, the lake with the mountains in the distance are simply beautiful. Definitely worth a visit if you have time. The best view point is from on top of the wall. I would butter clinging to the tip of the tower, the views are behind dirty plastic. Best view is from the walking along the wall.

Schirmerturm is one of the nine towers that make up the Museggmauer, a historic city wall that surrounds the Old Town of Lucerne. It is located on the east side of the wall, near the Musegg Gate. The tower offers stunning views of the Old Town, the lake, and the surrounding mountains. There is also a small museum inside the tower that tells the history of the Museggmauer.

The first set of towers of the defensive wall, starting on the north eastern side. You can climb up the wall and walk through several of the towers, viewing some of the historical notes.

Excellent place, what a view! Totally worth of hiking till there and walk up to all the towers! There are several towers, we liked most a watch tower and the last tower that has the most astonishing views of Luzern as it situated at the corner and you can observe the lake, capell bridge, and water dam with another beautiful old bridge.
