The Lion Monument known by the locals as Lowendenkmal is situated north of Lowenplatz. You can walk to the monument if you are staying in the Old Town area. I did this on my first visit 20 years ago and I was disappointed to not see the monument last year as Lucerne was completely covered in snow. I do recall it was a bit of an uphill walk but when you see him you may be reduced to tears. He is that beautiful!

Kezialee, if you check the Lucerne Travelguides other VT'ers give detailed instructions if you need them.

I have details of how to get there on my Lucerne Things To Do Tips.

(You don't need a tour, you just walk up the hill from the lake shore in the Old Town).
