    Hi DMAC903,

    I would look at either the Swiss Travel Pass or the Tell Pass. It will depend on the trips you make around Lucerne for those 2 days. The more trips you make the better with rail passes.

    Have a read through those passes and what they cover here:

    Once you’ve decided on the trips you will make each day, you can figure out the math to see which pass (if any) is best for your itinerary: https://www.myswissalp s.com/train/ticketspas ses/practical/choosera ilpass
