PalenQ - Lucerne is too modern? The Kapplebruke is from the 1400's!

I'd choose Bern over Lausanne, though, too. Still I think staying in Lucerne for a couple of nights and then going to the BO is the way to go. (Especially since you can take a day trip form thre to Bern and yet be in the Alps.)


(Did you get your Lausanne / Lucerne cities mixed up?)

sorry typo - i should have said Lausanne the second time not Lucerne, which is one of my very favorite cities, in terms on being gorgeous, in Europe. Most of the city is however Uber modern except for the old bridges, recently rebuilt after fires and such.
