Our tour company took us to the Dying Lion monument. The tour director was very thorough in explaining to us the history behind the monument. It's so sad to hear how the brave soldiers lost their lives in protecting the king. I was impressed at the size of the monument. We are told the names of the soldiers are listed... More

Probably the most popular site in Lucerne and well worth the visit. A very moving history behind this beautiful work, take some time to just sit and reflect - not so easy with the hoards of large tour groups.

I have been to Lucerne before but this was the first time that I have seen it...such a touching piece of art...don't miss it.

Such a sad expression on this "lions" face says it all. That war does take lives and that we must never forget those brave soldiers. We saw it while touring the city with a local guide and she was so informational it was well worth the small price. Local hotels can set you up with guides who can tell you... More

A "must visit" in Lucerne. Very poignant and beautiful. Don't miss it as it is not too far away from the train station.

Just a short walk from the city centre is a memorial to the brave Swiss soldiers who gave their lives on French orders, the facial expression of the lion says it all. A true work of art, many good souvenir shops nearby.

We almost skipped this. I am so glad we did not. It is definitely worth the walk through Old Town. It is located in a serene little park. It is a powerful piece of art.

Located a short walk form the river-lake front. Amazing sculpture. Quiet setting. I found it to be one of the most moving pieces of art that I've ever seen.

If you are in Lucerne, even passing through with a quick train stop, take some time and visit this monument. It isn't a long walk, so you can make a quick visit no problem. Very beautiful and moving carving - be sure to read the story behind it as well!
