At first glance, the Wilhelm Tell looks like a historic paddle steamer waiting for its next departure. But look a little closer and you’ll discover that this ship is not going anywhere. Permanently anchored at Lucerne’s waterfront, the Wilhelm Tell has been turned into a restaurant where you can step on board and enjoy a meal surrounded by the atmosphere of a historic steamship. Choose a table on the deck in summer, look out across Lake Lucerne and the mountains, or head inside for a more traditional setting. It is an easy place to walk past without realizing that you can actually go aboard and stay for dinner.

Built directly over the water, Lucerne’s Seebad is one of those places that is easy to overlook when walking along the lakefront. From the outside, its weathered wooden structure almost looks like a small lakeside building floating on the water. Step inside and the setting changes completely. Wooden bathing areas, open water and a large sun terrace create a relaxed place to swim and spend time by Lake Lucerne, with the mountains rising beyond the water. It is a very different way to experience the city – especially on a warm summer day.

Right in the heart of Lucerne, a line of wooden beams stretches across the Reuss and quietly controls the level of Lake Lucerne. This is the Nadelwehr, a historic needle dam that has been regulating the flow of water since the 19th century. From the nearby Reusssteg, you can get a close look at the rushing water and the wooden needles themselves. It is easy to walk past without giving them much thought, but once you know what they do, this small piece of Lucerne’s engineering history becomes much more interesting.
