It is amusing to imagine that this was a high tech form of entertainment in the later 1800s. It is well maintained and I enjoyed seeing it....can go through in just a few minutes if you happen to be in the area.

It's well worth the walk up here and even with a buggy, it's the best views of the city and mountain background. A few parks on the way for kids to play

My father insisted that we visit this yet could not explain exactly what it was. We were very reticent especially when we saw the outside and then wandered around inside through the uninspiring mall built at the base before we found the ticket booth. But don't give up - this is very cool - even a 15 year old thought... More

We went to the Panorama as a last attraction during our few days in Lucerne. I found to=it ver atmospheric and indeed moving. The cold and the tragic desperation of the French is well capture along with the anxiety of the Swiss at a huge influx of refugees. Well done

Back in the day one might have been impressed by the art involved but it pales in comparison to most movie... More

The Panorama is a large mural painted in the 19th century related to the German-French War of 1870-1871. It is not interesting from an artistic perspective. There is an audio presentation accompanying it that attempts to dramatically reproduce the feelings of the people at the time, but it rather overdoes it, resulting in a confusing array of various voices.
