    What To Expect

    Torbogen Luzern

    The archway, originally part of the Lucerne train station built in 1896, was the only element to survive a devastating fire in 1971. Today, it stands as a protected landmark and a symbol of transience and change in Lucerne's cityscape. The inscription "Sic transit gloria mundi" reminds us of the impermanence of human achievements.
