4 days in Lucerne in last week of April
-
Hi Team
We are 2 adults planning to travel to Swiss during April last week 2016. We want to enjoy the scenic beauty and not in rush to cover all sight seeing places. Also don’t want to cover too much mountains rather would like to enjoy the nature.
So far our plan is as below:
Day 1 : will reach Zurich from Amsterdam and will head to Lucern.
Day 2 : Sight Seeing in Lucern for 2 days
Day 3 : Planning to take Golden panoramic train to Interlaken and stay for 2 days
Day 4; Back to Paris
Q 1 : I would like to know best option to travel to Lucern from Zurich. Would like to visit to Rhine falls in Zurich and head back to Lucern in evening. Can you provide train timings for the same. If not feasilbe will skip sight seeing Zurich
Q 2 : In Lucern
1st day planning to visit Mt. Rigi ,showdairy in Affoltern im Emmental and Chapel Bridge. How can we reach to showdairy in Affoltern im Emmental? Please provide more details on this. For Mt. Rigi would like a trip including cable car
2nd day : Mt. Titlis and Lake Luzern. But i have seen in one of the blogs that we can cover boat trip in Lake Luzern to visit to Mt.Rigi. Is it correct? If so please provide the best way to cover Lake Luzern, Cable car trip to any of the above sightseeing places. If we can cover Lake Luzern while visiting Mt.Rigi, what can we see in Luzern. Please suggest
Q 3 : From Lucern we will head back to Interlaken using Golden Panaromic train. Is it really worth going by this train or any other train provides the same view?
Q4 : In Interlaken
1st day : Would like to cover schynige Platte near Wilderswil , Schilthorn,Jungfraujoch . Please provide options to visit these? Can we cover all 3 in one day?
2nd day : Like to visit Chocolate factory. How can we reach there. Please provide more details. Head back to Lucern. what is the fastest way to reach Lucern? Do we need to take Golden Panaromic train again or is there any other way?
Q5 : What is the best way to reach Paris? Initially we planned to take flight from Zurich but i saw somewhere in your forum that Lucern-Basel-Paris train is there and takes around 4 hrs. So i guess that will be the best option. Is it feasible todo on the same 2nd day from Interlaken? Where can we get tickets for these? Do we need to book online or can purchase at the station itself?
Based on the itinerary do you suggest us to buy swiss pass (or) swiss pass half fare (or) tell pass or just buy tickets directly in the places. Please suggest based on your experience so that it will give a start to explore more on these ticket options.
Any other suggestions on itinerary will be of great help
Thanks
