Why go
The Reuss gives Lucerne’s old town its waterside setting. From Rathausquai, look across the river to Chapel Bridge, then turn toward the Town Hall arcades behind the quay. This short stop makes the relationship between the river, the bridge and the old-town streets easy to see before you continue on foot.
What to look for
- Chapel Bridge is visible across the Reuss from Rathausquai.
- The Renaissance Town Hall and its arcades stand beside the riverfront.
- The quay forms part of the old town’s riverside market setting.
Useful to know
- Pause at Rathausquai while walking between the old town and Chapel Bridge.
- For the Needle Dam, continue downstream toward Spreuer Bridge rather than looking for it at Rathausquai.
