Lucerne (German: Luzern) is a city in Switzerland.
It is the capital of the Canton of Lucerne and seat of the district with
the same name.

Central Switzerland and focal point of the region.
The city's agglomeration consists of 17 municipalities in three cantons
with an overall population of nearly 200,000.
