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
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!
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
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!
Lucerne or Interlaken? - Rick Steves Travel Forum The trip from Lucerne to Kleine Scheidegg (where you connect with the Jungfraubahn) is 3H:13M with two changes If your primary sightseeing goal is the Jungfraujoch, it would be better to stay in Lauterbrunnen or Mürren in order to reduce the travelling time
Mt. Pilatus or Rigi - Rick Steves Travel Forum Have a tour ending in Lucerne with a free day at the end Would it be advisable to Mt Pilatus, Mt Rigi or Engelberg? Only time to accomodate one of these sites?

Buy tickets for Mount Pilatus now or wait? - Rick Steves Travel Forum We'll be in Lucerne in May of 2025 should we get tickets for the Golden Roundtrip now or wait to day of or when we arrive in Lucerne Read some concerns about checking weather in the morning and going to Mount Pilatus on a different day but if we buy our tickets now, we'll be locked in thoughts?
