Set out from Zurich for a delightful day trip to Lucerne, Switzerland’s enchanting lakeside city. Travel in comfort along the scenic shores of Lake Lucerne, taking in breathtaking views of the Swiss countryside before arriving in the heart of Lucerne’s historic old town.

Upon arrival, your guide will introduce you to Lucerne’s iconic sights, including the Chapel Bridge, Town Hall, Jesuit Church, and the striking Cultural and Convention Center. This short orientation drive sets the stage for your own exploration of the city’s rich culture and traditions.

You’ll have six hours of free time to discover Lucerne at your own pace.

Glide across the sparkling waters, enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, and snap unforgettable photos. Snacks are available for purchase on board, making this a perfect way to soak in the scenery.

This full-day excursion lasts approximately 9.5 hours and is led by a professional, multilingual guide during the journey and orientation.
