We are booked on a cruise out of Rome and would like to visit Switzerland pre cruise. We are thinking of flying into Zurich spending 4-5 days and then heading to Rome. Would like to see the most scenic area which I believe would be Lucerne to Interlaken. I think I will have to fly to Rome from Zurich as train is over 7 hrs. I would appreciate all thoughts and opinions as I’ve never been and would like to see the most I can in the little time I have. Also if there is an easy way to get to Rome that I’m not aware of please share with me. Thanks so much.

Hello Boyznme1 and Welcome to MySwissAlps,
Nice to hear you’re planning a little side trip to Switzerland!
Flying into Switzerland for sure makes sense from a time point of view. You however also have other airports available, see:
– http://www.myswissalps.com/ai rportsFor the option of taking the train, see:
– http://www.myswissalps.com/tr aintickets/italyFrom Zurich, via Lucerne to Interlaken is definitely one of the most chosen routes to spend some days in Switzerland. It offers a nice mix of city and Lake (Lucerne) and mountain surroundings (Bernese Oberland, Interlaken). Check below links for inspiration:

Best,
StephWe just returned from a three week European trip. We spent six days in Switzerland and based ourselves in small town called Wengen in the Bernese Oberland. We stayed at a locally owned hotel called AlpenRose. We paid a little extra for a room in the annex and were rewarded with a spectacular view of the valley, with the mountains in the distance. We recommend it highly. We bought the half board–breakfast and dinner. In a word, delicious. Wengen is a wonderful place central to many of the places we wanted to see and there was more than enough to keep us busy. The scenery is breathtaking and it is easy to get to and from the various places we went via train, boat, and gondola. You’ll really enjoy this beautiful country.
Hi Neil –
Nice to hear that you enjoyed a stay in Wengen…it’s my first choice for the region.
I’ll say that if one’s intent is to have a base which includes includes easy access to the rest of Switzerland, Interlaken is a possibilty. I’d never stay there, personally, because of the superior Alpine experience in places like Wengen. But the choice is personal and influenced by the goals for the trip.
