- Lucerne itinerary suggestions - Rick Steves Travel Forum
The train fare from Zurich’s airport to Lucerne is only 70 minutes and fares start at $22 So you probably should just buy your train tickets as you need them You have plenty of time to explore Lucerne— it’s beautiful and has just 80K residents The Old Town is a five-minute walk from the train station so Lucerne is quite compact I’d recommend checking the weather on Mt Rigi on
- Home base options - Interlaken, Lucerne, Grindelwald, other?
Lucerne is a 2 hr train ride from Interlaken, due to frequent stops You can easily get from Interlaken to Zurich airport in 2 5 hrs because it runs more as an express Lucerne is nice, my wife and I like it for a 2 day visit I would think that making it as a base would just extend your travel times to other parts of the country that you want to visit

- Lucerne or Lausanne? - Rick Steves Travel Forum
I also prefer Lucerne to Lausanne That's not to say that Lausanne doesn't have it's "charms" but for me there's something special about Lucerne, and some nice day trips possible from there Regardless of which place you choose, be sure to pack lots of money as Switzerland is expensive!
- Weggis, Vitznau or Lucerne proper? - Rick Steves Travel Forum
We plan to spend 2 or 3 days in the area The hotels looked nicer in Weggis and Vitznau Any thoughts opinions on whether to stay in either Weggis, Vitznau or Lucerne (near Old Town)? The good the bad? Thanks!
- Mt Rigi from Lucerne - Rick Steves Travel Forum
For a daytrip from Lucerne to Mt Rigi, I know the travel pass covers the boat and the cog train-- but do we need to make advance reservations for an August weekend daytrip? Also, does the Swiss Travel Pass cover the refurbished steamers you all are discussing, or just a more ferry-like boat to get over to Rigi?
