Late Summer Farmers Market, Lucerne, Switzerland
On Tuesdays and Saturdays, a special experience is available in Lucerne, Switzerland. On the banks of Lake Lucerne, both sides – rain or shine(!) – have a beautiful farmers market each week. The Saturday market is significantly larger than Tuesdays. While there are many delights to discover, the late summer FLOWERS are absolutely amazing!

Travel Tip!! In any city, find a nice department store and double-check if they have a rooftop or upper story cafe – it’s worked for me many times! They often have views and/or outdoor patio dining! From the rooftop patio of a department store, the lovely, stormy skies of Lucerne loom dramatically!
