About Chapel Bridge

The Chapel Bridge, also known as Kapellbrücke, is one of the most visited landmarks of Lucerne, Switzerland, and a must-see on Switzerland tour packages. It is the oldest covered bridge in Switzerland, built in 1333 as a part of the fortification of the city. The bridge is 170 meters long and connects the new town of Lucerne to the old town, spanning the Reuss River.


The Chapel Bridge is named after the church St. Peter’s Chapel and has a water tower as part of it. The tower is older than the bridge and was built as a prison. It is not open to tourists but is a great structure to admire. The bridge features a distinctive covered wooden roof and a series of triangular paintings, added in the 17th century, depicting scenes from Lucerne’s past and historical times.


If you are planning a Europe trip from India, this beautiful historical bridge in Lucerne is a must-visit destination as part of your Swiss itinerary. Take a calm walk on the Chapel Bridge in the morning or evening, and admire the historical, cultural, and architectural marvel that it is.

I got children tickets for my 15-year-old and 2 adult tickets for my parents although I was not there, the guide was really helpful and my parents and kid had a lot of fun. I recommend that if you are planning to visit Lucerne then you can go through Thrillophilia. Great discount on tickets and overall management is very professional.

Visited the church, the chapel, and many other historic sites around the place. It was really engaging and we got to learn a lot about the culture of the place. The guide was well informed. Don't forget to carry enough water to the trip. There is a lot of walking around to do and you would not want to get thirsty. All the best for your trip!

The tour was really relaxing and the entry into the premise was hassle-free. I had to carry a physical copy of the Thrillophilia voucher which the people there instantly recognized. The tour lasted for around 2 hours and we learned a lot about the place through the journey.
