Welcome to Lucerne ..
... welcome to the Old Swiss House
Welcome to Lucerne. Welcome to the medieval city, the lake and the mountains. Welcome also to a city of culture and art. An unmistakeable composition of natural and man-made beauty, time-tested over the centuries and carefully nurtured.
Lucerne is a city for pedestrians. Walk trough narrow streets, visit the many churches and squares and stroll over Lucerne’s trademark, the Chapel Bridge with the water tower. Don’t forget to see the Lion Monument witch globetrotter Mark Twain described as “the most moving piece of rock in the world”.

Whatever you are organising – a family holiday, a large convention, or anything in between – Lucerne will prove to be the ideal inspiration for you and those around you. Enjoy an unforgettable experience here – and fall in love with Lucerne.
Situated in the midst of all this beauty is the Old Swiss House restaurant, built in 1858. Visit our website and discover our establishment’s history, family and links with Anheuser-Busch Inc. of St. Louis, USA. We look forward to welcoming you personally, here in Lucerne.
Arrive as a stranger, leave as a friend!
