- Zurich to Lucerne - Rick Steves Travel Forum
They were very nice explaining the various tickets We bought first class tickets I'm not sure we needed them going to Lucerne as the train seemed pretty empty but going back to Zurich after our tour people who didn't have first class tickets were sitting on the steps because it was so crowded
- Lucerne itinerary suggestions - Rick Steves Travel Forum
The train fare from Zurich’s airport to Lucerne is only 70 minutes and fares start at $22 So you probably should just buy your train tickets as you need them You have plenty of time to explore Lucerne— it’s beautiful and has just 80K residents The Old Town is a five-minute walk from the train station so Lucerne is quite compact
- Bern or Lucerne? (August trip) - Rick Steves Travel Forum
I found Lucerne to be even prettier in reality than in pictures Bern is a comfortable city but lacks the views of Lucerne, which most likely accounts for the differences in lodging prices Obviously, budget is an important consideration when traveling, and you will have a wonderful trip exploring this beautiful country, with whatever decision
- Mt Rigi from Lucerne - Rick Steves Travel Forum
Most of the hotels in Lucerne have video shots of the summits, to check the weather at the peaks The views from the boat heading to Rigi are incredible, and very peaceful You definitely want to be out on the water The Rigi trip for us was half a day We also watched the sunset from Mt Stanserhorn, a much shorter trip, 45 min each way
- Two or three nights in Lucerne? - Rick Steves Travel Forum
Three nights in Lucerne is great, but if that comes at the cost of reducing your time in Murren, then that’s another matter I would go for two nights in Lucerne and five in Murren, particularly if you like to walk or hike Lucerne is very nice, but Murren is heaven on earth
- Lucerne or Interlaken? - Rick Steves Travel Forum
The trip from Lucerne to Kleine Scheidegg (where you connect with the Jungfraubahn) is 3H:13M with two changes If your primary sightseeing goal is the Jungfraujoch, it would be better to stay in Lauterbrunnen or Mürren in order to reduce the travelling time
- A day trip to Lucerne from Basel - Rick Steves Travel Forum
Because of the recommendations here, I decided to use Lucerne as our base instead of Basel Day 1 - fly into Basel, take a train to Lucerne and sightsee Day 2 - take a train from lucerne to Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen -> Lucerne Day 3 - lake cruise and mountain excursion in Lucerne -> Basel Day 4 - embark Rhine River cruise at Basel
- Lucerne or Lausanne? - Rick Steves Travel Forum
I also prefer Lucerne to Lausanne That's not to say that Lausanne doesn't have it's "charms" but for me there's something special about Lucerne, and some nice day trips possible from there Regardless of which place you choose, be sure to pack lots of money as Switzerland is expensive!
