From Wikipedia: Due to its
location on the shore of Lake Lucerne (Vierwaldstättersee),
within sight of Mount Pilatus and Rigi in the Swiss Alps,
Lucerne is traditionally considered first and foremost as a
tourist destination. One of the city's famous landmarks is
Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke), a wooden bridge first built in the
14th century. It has also been voted as the 5th most popular
tourism destination in the world in 2010 by Tripadvisor and has
private hotel schools most notably on the shores of lake Luzern
in Kastanienbaum.

From the official Swiss
Tourism Guide: Lucerne, the gateway to central Switzerland,
sited on Lake Lucerne, is embedded within an impressive
mountainous panorama. Thanks to its attractions, its souvenir
and watch shops, the beautiful lakeside setting and the nearby
excursion mountains of the Rigi, Pilatus and Stanserhorn, the
town is a destination for many travel groups and individuals on
their journey through central Switzerland.
