Óscar has recently been to Switzerland on holidays! I've been to the country for the last time 14 years ago and I visited Lucerne during a Postcrossing meeting. I must confess that besides the Kapellbrücke (Chapel Bridge), I don't remember much of the city. I remember the Jesuit Church though.
Lucerne lies at the north end of Lake Lucerne (Vierwaldstätter See) where the River Reuss flows out of the lake. The town, with its well-preserved medieval core and elegant historic buildings, is one of the most visited in Switzerland.

When it comes to what to see in Lucerne, do not miss the Jesuit Church. Situated on the southern bank of the River Reuss, you cannot help but notice the twin onion-domed towers of the Jesuit Church which dominate the skyline.
Built from 1666 to 1673 for the Jesuits, this church in Lucerne was the first large church in Switzerland to be built in the Baroque style.
While the exterior looks quite plain, the interior is a sight to behold. Richly decorated in white marble, the church features an outstanding painted ceiling and ornate faux marble side altars. - in: https://holidaystoswitzerland.com
