Highlights of Switzerland

Take a one-hour train journey from Zürich to Neuhausen. Here, you can spend the morning at Europe's largest waterfall, the Rhine Falls, viewing it from a raised platform or from below on a boat trip. Head back to Zürich for an afternoon to explore the city on your own, where we suggest visiting sights like the Lindt chocolate factory.

Board a train for a short journey through the countryside to arrive in Lucerne. This evening you will board a sunset boat cruise to explore Lake Lucerne, passing sights such as the former home of composer Richard Wagner.

Spend a full day visiting Pilatus Kulm, ride the steepest cogwheel train in the world to reach the summit, and then meander along a multitude of trails to enjoy far-reaching views. Descend by funicular to return to Lucerne.

Enjoy a full day at leisure. Lucerne is a small town that's easy to navigate on foot. You may wish to visit the Glacier Garden and Lion Monument before strolling the length of the 13th-century Musegg Wall, part of the town's original fortifications.

Today, you'll take the GoldenPass Panoramic train from Lucerne to Interlaken in the heart of Bernese Oberland. Change trains here and continue the short distance to the quintessential Alpine village of Grindelwald, dwarfed by the imposing face of the Eiger.

Venture to the Top of Europe today. The Jungfraujoch is an icy saddle between two Alpine peaks and home to the continent's highest train station.

You can also explore below the ice through a network of tunnels and caves dotted with sculptures.

This morning, board another scenic train heading north to the Swiss capital of Bern. Your private guide will meet you for an afternoon walking tour of the city, including a behind-the-scenes peek inside the still-working 13th-century clock tower.
