Franciscan Church is not just a house of worship, but a recommended tourist attraction as well. Make the pilgrimage and enjoy some moments of quiet contemplation.

This house of prayer is on the to-do lists of many travelers to Lucerne. But Franciscan Church isn't the only drawcard here. Chapel Bridge, Swiss Transportation Museum, and Mount Pilatus are some other interesting attractions close by.

A basic, no-frills hotel offering the essentials without extras like a mini fridge or coffee/tea-making facilities. The bed was a little on the hard side, but the room was clean and functional. The real highlight is the location—within easy walking distance to the charming old town, making it a convenient base for exploring the area.
