Very near the dying lion, take a few minutes to visit the panorama that commemorates the French surrender to the Swiss during the Franco Prussian War. If you have a visitor card from your hotel, show it for a discount.

It is amusing to imagine that this was a high tech form of entertainment in the later 1800s. It is well maintained and I enjoyed seeing it....can go through in just a few minutes if you happen to be in the area.

It's well worth the walk up here and even with a buggy, it's the best views of the city and mountain background. A few parks on the way for kids to play

Beautiful panoramic view of the city. Nice walk up the old wall and before you know, you are back in the city!!!

If you are interested in history.. dont miss this.. very close to the Lion Monument and free with Swiss Pass.. Kids get gifts on solving puzzles

In the time before cinema, tv and internet, a Panorama was a tool to bring hostorical events to a wider public: Well presented, built in modern surrounding it shows, how the French Boourbaki Army arrived 1871 in Switzerland.

My father insisted that we visit this yet could not explain exactly what it was. We were very reticent especially when we saw the outside and then wandered around inside through the uninspiring mall built at the base before we found the ticket booth. But don't give up - this is very cool - even a 15 year old thought... More

Stand within once huge picture and be amazed how thrilling one moment in time can be. Take your time, calm down and don't miss this time travel.

We went to the Panorama as a last attraction during our few days in Lucerne. I found to=it ver atmospheric and indeed moving. The cold and the tragic desperation of the French is well capture along with the anxiety of the Swiss at a huge influx of refugees. Well done
