I am landing in Zurich airport around 10:45am. Assuming I clear customs and can get out of airport by noon, do you think I can fit in the Lindt chocolate factory tour, then head to Lucerne to walk quickly around the city and make a 18:06 (6:06pm) train to Interlaken on the golden express? Or is that too tight? Otherwise I may have to forego Lindt 😢.

Also, if I understand correctly, I need to take the train from Zurich airport to Zurich main station to catch the train get Lindt, correct? Or can I get to Lindt directly from the airport?

Hi Ava T,

Assuming you clear custom within an hour, you might be able to catch the 12.04 connection from the airport to Kilchberg, Lindt & Sprungli which requires just one train change. See screenshot. The journey takes about 40 mins, which gives you enough time to explore the shop and the interactive exhibitions if you plan to leave for Lucerne by 3 pm. From Kilchberg it takes about an hour to reach Lucerne by train. So if you arrive around 4-ish, that will give you enough time to explore Lucerne before your 18.06 train to Interlaken. A personal tip: If you’re visiting the Lindt Shop in April, you might want to book your tickets advance. During Easter and the spring break, demand is quite high and visitors are allocated time slots for the tour. You can find the link to the official website here: http://www.myswissalps.com/activities/culinary/chocolate

You can check train schedules on the SBB timetable (http://www.myswissalps.com/timetable). I recommend you download the SBB Mobile app so you can use it on the go. You can find the link here: http://www.myswissalps.com/aboutswitzerland/practical/websites (under public transport)
