Lucerne, Switzerland: KKL Luzern

The full name of this place is the Luzern Culture and Congress Centre, and it certainly fulfills a lot of the cultural needs of the city. It has a symphony hall that seats almost 2,000, a couple of smaller halls, a museum, restaurant, cafeteria and administrative areas.

It's also a spectacular building that is located right on the waterfront. The roof seems to float over the patio, leading to the question "What's holding it up?" More importantly, it reflects the lake nicely. 

We turned up on the grounds one night, and a concert was going on. It was intermission, so some well-dressed patrons came outside to stretch their legs. It looked like a perfect setting. 

It would have been nice to walk through the place during our visit. This must do instead.
