Lucerne itinerary – suggested additions
-
Thank you for all of your previous input – I’m making my way through the planning process of my trip to Switzerland in early August with my 18 year old son (his graduation present!!). We will be coming from Frankfurt on a Thursday morning and have decided to make Lucerne home base for a few days because it is close to Zurich where we will be flying out from on Sunday afternoon, but will offer the opportunity to see the alps – my lifelong dream!!. Can you please help me fill in the gaps with some enjoyable options: I’d like to do as many outdoor sightseeing activities as possible… and need to fit in a stop for swiss chocolates for my son. 🙂
Thurs 8am – 12pm Transport from Frankfurt to Lucerne. We will have afternoon/evening time for activities after check-in and are open to suggestions.
Friday – In lieu of Interlachen ,(which I’ve read numerous times is not ideal from Lucerne because of the travel time and unpredictability of the rainy weather in summer), we plan to go to Mount Rigi via boat cruise. Does it make sense to boat to Vitznau and then via the Rigi mountain train to Rigi Kulm on the way there, and come back via cable car to Weggis, and experience both options?
Saturday – We will have day time for either another excursion from or activities around Lucerne and again open to suggestions. Then we will travel to Zurich in the afternoon or early evening so we can have a brief visit there before flying out on Sunday. Will it be safe to leave our luggage at the hotel in Lucerne if we have to check out before we head to Zurich?
Sunday – we leave Zurich at 1:30pm. I’m assuming we’ll need to be at the airport few hours early to go through customs. That leaves only an hour or 2 in the am to take a walk, have some breakfast.
Does this sound like a reasonable itinerary? I look forward to your suggestions.for activities. And do you have any favorite hotels in Lucerne to suggest?
Thanks again in advance for your assistance!
