If you want to see all the best things Switzerland has to offer in a single day, Lucerne is one of the best places to visit. The city sits right on the jewel-like Lake Lucerne, and thanks to the medieval Old Town and the snow-capped mountains in the background, it looks like a beautiful painting from almost every angle. However, there are a few must-see spots as well, including the Rosengart Collection, the artwork on Chapel Bridge and the glacial potholes at the Glacier Garden. If you want a dose of nature, head up into the nearby Rigi or Pilatus mountains to hike or ski. Lucerne
