Photo Diary: Lucerne, Switzerland

Lucerne was probably my favorite city that I visited on my trip to Switzerland this spring. It’s a relatively small city, but it has a lot to offer, especially if you’re wandering around with a camera. Situated on the edge of Lake Lucerne, in the shadow of the Swiss Alps, there’s an unbeatable view from essentially anywhere in the city. With a ton of great shops down little alleyways (including lots of specialty chocolate shops…one of my favorite parts of Switzerland), a wealth of spectacular 18th and 19th century architecture, and beautiful monuments and churches, it’s a great place to walk around with not much of a plan at all.
