Although the bridge in itself might seem not so great, the setting makes it look really lovely...set amidst the lake against Mt Pilatus in the background, makes for a great photo op. Definitely worth walking across it in the evening.

Lovely to stroll across this unique covered bridge - during the day you will do it with loads of tour groups, much better to go back after dark, much quieter and very pretty with the evening lights.

It costs nothing to go on this wonderful bridge and it is an adventure. Fun to watch locals and ducks alike. The artwork inside this covered bridge is awesome and you could spend hours just looking at it. Walk, don't run thou this historic sight!

A unique experience walking along the "olde" bridge. We were told that it would look colourful during the festive season.

The bridge is a thing to take in. Stroll its entire length and take your time doing it. Stroll the bridge in the morning, after lunch, and in the evening after dark. It's personality changes with each time of day!

Lots of history and so unusual. What a nice little bridge Chapel Bridge is. It will take you from one side of the river to the other- a lovely stroll. Must see on your visit to Lucerne.

Beautiful covered walkway and worth a view. There is artwork in the covered area of the bridge. As you stand there and look at the water it is very relaxing

This was a beautiful bridge to look at and admire. On the inside the paintings are really amazing but damaged and faded in parts.
