Bern vs Lucerne: Itinerary advice needed
-
Hi
I’m going to be visiting Switzerland in the first half of June (as you might know from my last thread) and my itinerary is such that I’m a little confused between these 2 options:
1) Enjoy 6-7 hours at Bern on a certain day for lunch and then roaming around the town center and covering its main sights as well as some relaxed shopping followed by dinner before returning to Zurich. Visit Lucerne on another day for a couple of hours around 8pm onwards to roam around the town centre while covering Chapel bridge, Lion monument and a bit of a walk along the lake to see the sunset followed by dinner once it’s dark and return to Zurich. Downside is that with this plan we won’t get any time to see the Interlaken town centre (if that’s important).
2) Enjoy 7-8 hours at Lucerne on a certain day for lunch and then roaming around the town center and covering its main sights as well as some relaxed shopping followed by dinner before returning to Zurich. Visit Bern on another day for barely an hour in the morning to roam around the town centre trying to get a feel of it. Downside is that with this plan we won’t get as much time at Bern as it might deserve (although Interlaken town centre gets covered in this plan).
These are not itineraries but the end results of the 2 itineraries I have in mind. Please advise which option to choose based on where is it better to shop and in terms of the amount of time these places deserve with respect to one another considering we have limited time. Thanks in advance.
