Lucky as got from two clues and Lucerne was the only other lake I could think of other than my first guess Geneva.
Not sure about the other clues?

Guess the National transport museum is there but didn't know.

Pilatus emblamatic of the city it is possible to reach the top of the mountain by funicular railway (steepest in the world, I believe)

Vierwaldstättersee (there is an anglicization of this but it contains the name of the location!) Lake Lucerne; the fish in it called egli - a type of trout - is considered a local delicacy

Kappelbrücke A medieval wooden bridge that spans the river just before it enters the lake; a beautiful construction decorated with small pictures

Cheese fondue It is originally Swiss and tradionally made from Gruyere and Emmenthal cheeses; loose your bread in the mixture and you have to buy everyone present a drink! The French have a version as well

National Transport Museum if you're into historical forms of transport a great way to pass an afternoon
Lucerne is one of my absolutely top favourite places to visit, the lake, the mountains, the old town make a lovely setting.

A few annotations above.....

Tough clue would never have got there without visiting the Swiss restaurant and finding out about Fondue.
Rigger and Frankie's language skills played their part.

I'm guessing Rosario in Argentina, the birthplace of our glorious leader. However I don't know if it's on the coast to have beaches or a port.

Mate is a popular infusion drink in the country.

No idea what Centenario and Chivito might be.
