Of all the places in Switzerland, the city of Lucerne endears itself to me with its beauty and charm. I fall in love it the moment I set foot on it. It is a city in north-central Switzerland, in the German-speaking part of that country. The word ‘Luzern’ is actually German, while Lucerne is in French. Having a soft corner for French, I love to refer to it only as Lucerne.

The city of Lucerne which straddles the Reuss River is one of the most endearing cities in Switzerland for its quiet calm and placid scenery. Pics/Vijaya Pratap
