Hi Maya1588, welcome to MySwissAlps!

Let’s address your questions:

1. Yes, a walk in the old town is certainly possible: https://www.myswissalps.com/activity/walk-zurich/

2 and 4. The Lindt Home of Chocolate is definitely nice, but it is farther from Zurich. I’d personally prefer to have at least half a day for this visit. If you’re unsure whether you’ll make it in time, I recommend not booking a time slot in advance. Just show up, and if you’re lucky (you’ll have a pretty good chance on a late-March afternoon), you can still get tickets for a tour. If not, you can still roam the shops and cafe:  https://www.myswissalps.com/activities/culinary/chocolate/

3. I wouldn’t travel to Lauterbrunnen after your Grindelwald-First visit. Instead, I’d travel as follows and plan a short morning break in Lauterbrunnen for sightseeing:

Interlaken – Lauterbrunnen (short break) – Wengen – Jungfraujoch – Grindelwald – Grindelwald-First return trip – Interlaken. See https://www.myswissalps.com/activity/jungfraujoch/#directions for details.

Does this help you out?

Hello Maya

Annika has answered your questions very fully.  I personally, would not bother with the Lindt chocolate factory unless you have go a lot of time.
As to your question 3, I would certainly adopt the routing she suggests.  (Study a map of the Jungfrau region!)

Saturday 21st March

Now this may require some careful planning.  What time do you anticipate you will reach Interlaken?

You need to take into account that the boats on Lake Brienz do not start operating until April 3rd.

Lake Brienz cruises: https://www.myswissalps.com/activity/boat-lake-brienz/

The trains along the north shore run twice an hour all year round.  The buses to Iseltwald on the south shore run (at least hourly) all year round.

If you are considering Lake Thun, there is just one boat operating.  It leaves Thun at 11 40 and gets to Interlakenn West at 13 49.  The return sailing from Interlaken is at 14 10.

Best wishes for your detailed planning
