    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.
