Chapel Bridge, or Kapellbrucke, has spanned the Reuss River in Lucerne since the Middle Ages, making it the oldest covered bridge in Europe. The wooden structure, adorned with a series of triangular paintings along its interior, depicts scenes from Swiss history and mythology. Visitors can walk across the bridge, taking in the historic artwork and enjoying views of the river and the surrounding city. This iconic landmark, a testament to medieval engineering, remains one of Switzerland’s most visited attractions.
