Hi All
I have about 3 days in lucerne from 5th April to 7th April. I’d like to spend those 3 days in Lucerne in the best possible way. These are my thoughts. Please help me with your feedback.
I arrive in Lucerne in afternoon of 5th April. I plan to spend the afternoon and evening to do the cruise on Lake Lucerne. After that walk around in the old and new town, settle down for nice dinner and get done with the day. Is there anything specific you’d suggest I add to this plan?
On the second day I’d like to hire a car and drive down to Grindelwald. I’d like to stop at a few villages on the way, such as, Sachseln, Brienz, Interlaken, etc. Could you help me know
If these villages are pretty?
Are there any other villages that I should add to this list?
Are any of these villages car free?
Alternatively I could also take the cruise that drops and picks you up in small villages around Lucerne. Can you give me more details about this cruise?
Do you think a hike up to pilatus makes sense in early april. i don’t think i’ll get very good views from the top of pilatus in early april. Am I right?
Thanks Everyone

Hello Aman Malhotra and Welcome to MySwissAlps,
Lucerne is a fabulous base-city to spend some days in Switzerland, it’s located very preferably and has lots to offer. For details about the city and the Lake Lucerne area check these links:

As there’s no need to pre-book tickets to get there you can decide spontaneously. Alternatively you can look at Mount Rigi, which includes a boat-ride as part of a round trip.

As for your trip towards Grindelwald, is there a specific reason you want to travel by car? You can easily reach that area (Jungfrau Region) by train. Use below links for information:
