Zurich to Lucerne and Interlaken: Private day trip

Lucerne is a Swiss city that has it all - lakeside views, alpine peaks, and a medieval spirit wrapped in the beauty of the Alps. Set beside snow-dusted peaks and mirrored waters, Lucerne is where Swiss storybook scenes come to life. Spend your four hours wandering Old Town’s cobbled lanes and ornate guild halls, crossing the flower-lined Chapel Bridge and admiring the baroque grandeur of the Jesuit Church. Stroll the lake promenade, where swans glide past alpine reflections, or visit the Rosengart Collection for Picassos in a peaceful gallery setting. Consider a short lake cruise for unbeatable views. Whether you’re sipping hot chocolate or photographing medieval towers, Lucerne is full of jaw-dropping scenery at every turn.

Interlaken dazzles with soaring peaks, serene lakes, and Swiss delicacies like cheese fondue and Nidelkuchen. Nestled between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, Interlaken is Switzerland’s adventure capital and alpine postcard in one. After your smooth ride from Lucerne, begin your visit with a funicular ride to Harder Kulm, where panoramic views of the Jungfrau region steal the show. Back in town, wander Höhematte Park, where paragliders land in front of snowy peaks, then stroll the charming lanes of Unterseen, the historic heart of Interlaken. Indulge in cheese fondue at a cozy chalet-style restaurant or grab a slice of Nidelkuchen before rejoining your driver for a relaxed return to Basel.
