It only takes 3-4 hours (including a coffee) to see everything. This is my basic tour when taking people to Luzern. You can see all the main sights in 2 hours, and end up by the lake with the option of diving back into the old town, or going off elsewhere. Notably that avoids much of the actual old town. As far as old towns in Europe and Switzerland go I really don’t think Luzern is that interesting for the most part. The lake/river and walls are by far the most important bits to see, but apart from a few nice squares the buildings in the inner old town are not that special (and mostly given over to selling tourist tack). Outside of the old town the urban area is pretty much just modern, dull, and often ugly, sprawl (albeit modern, dull, and ugly sprawl with nice views). There are two wooden bridges. The iconic Kapellbrücke, and the smaller Spreuerbrücke which is a little downstream. Both have paintings in the rafters showing various scenes. The latter is actually the more authentic as the Kapellbrücke partly burnt down in 1993 (but has been reconstructed very nicely). A section of the wall (Museggmauer) and towers are open for free from 8-19 each day outside of winter. The Zytturm lets you see the workings of the clock, but otherwise the only tower worth climbing is the Männliturm as the others have very restricted views out. During winter (1st November until March 31st) the walls and towers are closed, but you can still get to the park at their feet for a similarly nice view. The (free) Männliturm is a bit of a climb but offers the best view over the old town, lake, and mountains. The narrow and steep wooden stairs may freak certain people out. It is separate from the main walkable wall section so can be easy to miss. Löwendenkmal (Lion memorial). It always surprises me how big this is, no matter how often I see it. I have never bothered with the neighbouring Glacier garden as you can see plenty of those for free around the country without having to pay 15CHF to be rammed in with other tourists. Grendelstrasse leading down to Schwanenplatz by the lake (aka the tour bus pickup point) is essentially the watch shop street. Wondering who buys the 100k CHF diamond rolexs in the windows is a good way to kill a few minutes when waiting for a train (if you can stand the number of people). The classic recommendation of where to eat/drink is the Rathaus Brauerei near the Kapellbrücke which has good food and rotating seasonal beer production.
