Switzerland Trip Dec 2016 Day 8 Part 1 ~ Lucerne Old Town

We woke up pretty early as we were leaving Zurich for Lucerne! Dint get much slp throughout this trip as we always wake up early though we went to bed pretty early too. 

Breakfast at Hotel Marta. Think we were the first for breakfast haha.

Swiss styled breakfast of colored hard boiled eggs, milk, butter, cottage cheese, tomatoes, Gruyere cheese, ham, and salami. 


Fruits.


Coffee machine~


Variety of tea available.


Fresh loaves of bread~ And as we were the first, the bread loaves were not even cut yet haha.


Croissants!


First plate of my breakfast haha. Cappucino with breads, butter and Nutella!


Juice and spreads. There's honey to make your own honey butter toast!


Cereal.


Ham and Cheese.


Piggy's attempt at Honey Butter Toast.


Chocolate cereal with plain yogurt.


And we checked out of our hotel shortly after breakfast. Last glimpse of Hotel Marta lobby!



We made our way to the main station to catch our train to Lucerne.
Free flow portable water everywhere, even at train station!


9am to catch the train!


The Christmas Market which we visited the night before in day light.



The train interior.


Think this was when we took the first class seat when we bought the normal tickets and got asked to leave haha.



But at least we got to enjoy the spacious seats for most of the journey.




And we arrived in Lucerne in about an hour train ride!


Making our way towards our Lucerne hotel.


Climbing up the stairs with our luggage~ Poor Piggy helping me with the luggage.


Where our hotel, Altstadt Hotel Krone Luzern, is.


Notice the Crown logo on the tile!


Even the lighting too!



As the room wasn't ready yet, we just left our luggage at the lobby and headed out to explore around the Old Town.


Water fountain right outside the hotel.


There was a mini market at the square outside the hotel too.




The hotel exterior!



The jewelry shop just around the corner which we got a free pendant to redeem from the hotel!




European styled ornaments selling at the market.





Exploring the Old Town area around our hotel.


Spot our hotel! Just a boutique hotel but looks rly pretty!


The lake~




Love the bakeries there! Even Korea has many interesting bakeries but why SG dont have?



Chapel bridge!


Such pretty view~



Noticed a castle-like building up the mountains! Think it's actually a hotel! Hotel Chateau Gutsch.



Love the buildings along the river.


Oh the scenery~


Super sunny day.







Haha the crown that reminds me of the hotel.


I rly like this area of Lucerne so I took many photos! Easily my favourite city in Switzerland!






Went into some toy shop too.


Lots of such stalls around the Old Town area.
