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
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? We're troopers, but would appreciate input
A day trip to Lucerne from Basel - Rick Steves Travel Forum In Lucerne, the boat and cogwheel to Mt Rigi run all year round It's spectacular, about a half-day activity Of course, you need agreeable weather, so don't buy anything in advance Walking around Lucerne Old Town, having lunch along the river, with a view of the Chapel Bridge, is delightful On a clear day, you can see the summits of both Rigi and Pilatus from the Old Town Enjoy!
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?
Viking excursion for Lucerne extension - Rick Steves You can look at reviews of that tour on cruise critic Are in Basel before your cruise or after? Have you bought airline tickets yet? Last year, I recommended friends get a hotel room in Luzern, and buy Saver Day Passes for excursions to Rigi and Engelberg You can buy Saver Day Passes up to 6 months in advance for 52 CHF Then for that get a whole day of travel in Switzerland
Basel or Lucerne in December - Rick Steves Travel Forum Basel and lucerne are both slightly over an hour from Zurich airport With the train station right inside the airport, it is super easy to get to both cities And both are about an equal distance from Lauterbrunnen you could do a loop—basel for 2-3 nights, Lauterbrunnen (or other) for 4 nights and lucerne for 2 or 3 nights
Luzern to Interlaken Express - Seat question The seat map on the Zentralbahn site will show the train direction If you are on the right hand side departing Luzern, you will then be on the left hand side departing Meiringen as the train changes direction there That way you will get the lake view the rest of the way to Interlaken The right hand side will give you the lake view from Interlaken to Basel
