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
Bern or Lucerne?

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!
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?
