Day trips from Grindelwald
We're staying in Grindelwald for 6 days in June, as part of our first visit to Switzerland. We hope to spend most of our time hiking, but would also like to do some wider day trips to nearby towns, possibly by car as we will have one with us. Lucerne is already on our itinerary: is Bern also worth a one-day visit, or are there other destinations we should consider?

Where are you going with the car? If just to this area and around consider trains instead - check www.swisstravelsystem.com for lots on trains and also BETS-European Rail Experts and www.ricksteves.com. All the places near Grindelwald are short train or boat or gondola rides - cars are useless in cities. Anyway unless you have a wider range itinerary in which cars may be very nice consider public transit in Grindelwald/Jungfrau region.
