When I go to Cape Town, to the Waterfront, there is also a huge water element to that part of the city, there are even canals where tour boats travel through. But it is coastal and thus, it is a salt-water element.
What I find interesting about Lucerne that you are showing here with its river and the lake is that it is a fresh water City... which hits different in the mind. We do not have that kind of thing over here.
