| City of lights |
| The city owes the assignment of its nickname as "City of the lights" to an ancient legend which tells about the miracle of the light: one day an angel showed the first settlers of Luzern the exact place where to build a chapel in honour of San Niklaus, the patron saint of the fishermen and of the sailors, and did it with a bright light which radiated in a specific position. |
