Switzerland Kapellbridge, Lucerne
This historic bridge leads over the Reuss River in Lucerne and is probably one of the most photographed objects within downtown Lucerne. Using a drone can provide different angles.
Photography Tips
It is best to photograph during sunrise to have the light coming from the side illuminating the scene and the mountain in the background. Also, the streets are empty, which is handy when flying a drone in an urban environment. I used the DJI mini 3 Pro, which weighed below 250g and was, at the time I took the photo, legal to fly without extra permission. Please check the current state of laws when flying.
Travel Information
It would be best to explore Lucerne on foot since driving or parking your car is tricky. Parking at the marked garage is relatively cheap for Swiss fees. It might be better to park outside the city and take the bus instead. All photogenic locations are close to each other. Therefore exploring the town on foot is the best!
