Hi Zenia,
Luzern and Lucerne are the same place.
German spelling: Luzern
English and French spelling: Lucerne
Luzern is in the German-speaking part of Switzerland, so the spelling Luzern is what you will see at the railway station etc.
Lake Lucerne (English) is called the Vierwaldstättersee in German.
