I am staying in Switzerland for 5 days. I can't decide if I should stay in Zurich or Luzern. What good tourist attractions and hotels are in Zurich & Luzern. I am planning to spend only up to 5,000 in Switzerland. <BR>I appreciate this! Thanx in advance!!

I'm sorry, but my email is [email protected] (i forgot to include the 88). Zurich and Luzern both sound enchanting. Perhaps I'll visit both,but if you could pick one what would it be?? Thank you!!!

Good evening, Kristi <BR>Would pick Luzern as there is possibly <BR>more to do out of it without traveling <BR>a longer distance. <BR>1.Luzern, Transport Museum and old town, <BR>etc., the city itself. <BR>2. If you want to spend a day in Zurich <BR>the train takes 55 mins to get there and <BR>the same to return. <BR>Things to see around Luzern. <BR>1. the Lake Lucerne, boats and various <BR>stops along the Lake. <BR>2. Mt Pilatus, taking the train or boat <BR>to Alpnachstad, up on the incline railway to the Kulm, have lunch and <BR>return cableways via Kreins and bus <BR>to the Luzern Station. <BR>3. Mt. Titlis, taking the train to Engleberg then take the cablecars up <BR>and down, very good view atop on clear <BR>day. <BR>4. Mt. Rigi, take the boat to Vitznau <BR>up the rack railway to Rigi Klum, have <BR>lunch, down via Arth Goldau to Luzern <BR>or return via Vitznau and boat. <BR>5. In the event of a rainy day, get on <BR>the boat for a few hour cruise to Fruelan and return, lunch on board. <BR>6.If weather is perfect, take an early <BR>morning train to Interlaken, change to <BR>Lauterbrunnen and change up the Jungfrau, This is quiet and experience. <BR>There ristorantes and hotels in all <BR>classes in Luzern, a lot of hotels are <BR>within minutes of the rr station and <BR>there are a number of hotels overlooking <BR>the old bridge on the river... <BR>Richard of La Grange Park, Il.. <BR> <BR>

Unequivocally, Luzern! <BR>Zurich is very much a business/banking city, and probably further from the mountains then you think. <BR>

Depends on what you're intersted in, of course. Actually Zuerich is quite nice, some interesting things to do in the city and fine excursions. www.twenj.com/swisszrhoneday.htm <BR> <BR>Luzern is the better choice for most, by far though. It's a charming city, and looks to most North Americans as they expect a 'typical' Swiss city would look. <BR> <BR>Better, spend part of your time there, and part in the spectacular mountains surrounding the Jungfrau. You'll find you get a good mix of Switzerland's best if you do both. www.twenj.com/swissshort.htm <BR> <BR>Rome.Switzerland.Bavaria <BR>www.twenj.com
