Zytturm in Luzern
Description
Privilege
Brilliant place for view of Lucerne city plus the showcase of ancient clock models. Love how its maintained and displayed. Wonderful experience!
MoreIf youre looking to climb only one tower out of the Musegg Walls, make it this one as you can see the inner workings of the clock. Gives you quite a good view of the lake as well.
MoreAncient wall and castle. Quite different from the Chinese one.
Must visit spot. The steps are somewhat challenging so it may not be the best spot for young children/elderly.
MoreThe inside of the tower had steep stairs. The very last flight of stairs had steps that were almost 2 feet high. When I went down that portion I sat on my behind as I went down the stairs. The clock works inside are interesting. Don’t stand next to the bell when it’s time to ring. It is LOUD
MoreExcellent view of the city 👍🏻
Amazing view over Lucerne, don’t miss it!
Wow. Amazing!!!
Love it.Must visit whenever in Luzern👍❤️
Its closed until Easter but it was lovely to walk along the wall.
Amazing view over Lucerne city and Lake!
Nice place! If you want to see how the clock mechanism works from the inside go and visit this clock tower! Entrance is free!
MoreAfter crossing the old bridge, its nice to go up to check this out. You will see the beautiful view of Lucerne.
MoreThe best sightseeing in Luzern after the bridge :)It is possible to Walt on the wall, and visit 3 towers.the best one is the Clock tower. And observe the city wiew and watches mechanism from inside.
MoreAt the top of the tower there are unclean glasses in windows that destroy the view that you wanted to enjoy. It is much better to visit Männliturm, which does not have any glasses and you can enjoy pure, undisturbed view.
MoreGreat place to visit, totally free, you have a nice view of lucern
The best of the nine towers! FYI - the towers are only accessible from Easter until October 31st.
MoreNice view of the city and you can see how the inner workings of grandfather clocks inside the tower, very cool, free too
MoreVery nice to walk around and the view of the city is great.
Perfect views from here even if you cant go up the towers that are closed in winter.
MoreZytturm has a fascinating museum of old clocks on the walk up. Many of them are still going.I came at 9:00 on a rainy Saturday morning and the place was empty.You dont get much view from the top of this tower. For a better view, walk a little ways down the wall to Männliturm.
MoreWhen you are in Lucerne, make sure that you come to Zytturm where you can overlook the beautiful town from the top. It is quite a plesant walk from the center of the town, and some gentle hills to climb. Zytturm is a watch tower of the city wall as part of the acient city defence; or it is rather a bell and clock tower where a giant old mechnical clock is hung.
MoreIncredible view of the city, lake and mountains.
Beautiful scenery!
Great free thing to do. Easy to climb towers with some nice views of the city, lake and mountains.
MoreVery nice tower with the oldeat clock in thd city and with great views. The stsirs to go up are not very steep and you get to walk also up on the walls of the city. However only a small part of the walls is accessible and in total only 3 towers are open for visit. The entrance was free of charge and you also get to see the mechanism of the big clock and some other smaller clocks which are inside.
MoreWho doesnt love towers?! Especially ones that have old clock mechanisms displayed inside.
MoreA nice place to visit but we only visited at night and not much to see
Enjoy walking around the walls and climbing the towers. Its all free
Interesting little snippet of history accessible after a short walk from the city center. Offers a nice view from the walls, less so from the towers because there are bars/plexiglass covering an inordinate amount of each window. Also has a few pieces of the old clocks with descriptions of each piece. Overall very nice, definitely worth a detour.
MoreGreat spot for a panorama view of Luzern city. Nice to see how the clock is working inside.
MoreNice place to explore with amazing views - just be aware that the stairs are very steep in places but most have railings.
MoreWell worth the quick uphill walk. The views of the city are amazing from here. The displays of all of the clocks are interesting and kept in good working order.
MoreWhen I vist this Museggmauer, all top were not opend due to winter season. It was very disappointing. but the town inside Museggmauer is very calm and beautifull and also nice air.
MoreReally nice place to chill, with a spectacular view to the city.
Nice view of Luzern, a pretty cat and lots of snowy mountains... nice walk around the Zeittrum, but museum was closed..
MoreGet a nice view of Lucerne. Climbing up the tower itself is an interesting experience
MoreWonderful historical place. A lot of nice impressions during your walking on the walls. Charming view to Lucern and lake. In winter time its closed. Interesting to visit open towers during the way. In one tower you can see old clock mechanism. Its amazing!
MoreWorth going up. The view is nice but not spectacular
A truly awesome attraction to visit. You can walk inside the tours, and on top of the walls. Its definitely worth visiting. Theres a huge clock inside one of the tours, and theres also old clock mechanisms from old clock towers. A nice view of the city too!
MoreVery old colorfully painted clock tower with a museum. Worthwhile walk as it offers encapsulated view to Luzern.
MoreI thought this tower on the Lucerne wall was cool and seeing the inner workings of the clock was really interesting. The stairs up this tower are steep so be prepared.
MoreOld watchtower with a clock and some mechanisms inside. Good view. No entrance fee. Lots of wooden stairs to climb. Access to other watchtowers via the wall.
MoreAnother place that you would cross by if you are visiting Luzern, nothing of excitement here except for the long wall with the huge towers thats been built many centuries ago!!Something interesting here though, : you need to notice the timing that the towers bells ring with the respect to the citys bells!! There is an order that never miss match plus a reason behind, you gotta find out about it ; )
MorePlenty of sights in Luzern, but the wall and its towers are oft overlooked. Very interesting with great views.
MoreIf you go up to the top you can get a really nice view of the city. Usually not that crowded. Worth going there if you visit Luzern!
MoreWalk to the tower from the water is great. Very nice views from the walk and once on the wall. Clock mechanics are incredible to see up close.
MoreVery good spot to see the city from another perspective
This tower is the most popular, but doesnt provide the best view. You cant go on the very top and the windows arent easy to see out of. Still a cool thing to go up, but Id recommend visiting some of the other towers instead.
MoreVery nice watchtower in Lucerne! Well renovated staircases, although quite steep. Great view from the top.
