Zurich is a stunningly gorgeous city with a beautifully-preserved old town, endless greenery, wondrous snow-capped mountains, fresh air, and crystal clear lake views. The city's extraordinary museums, churches and galleries, confirm its position as Switzerland's spiritual, if not political, capital. There is also a hip, less conventional side to Zurich. Zuri West, once the industrial section, has become the 'it spot' over the last decade, with loft living, galleries, museums, experimental theater and clubs.
Explore Lake Zurich, Old Town (Altstadt), Museum of Art (Kunsthaus Zurich), Uetliberg Mountain, Zoo Zurich, Lindenhofplatz, Bahnhofstrasse, Grossmunster,
Church of Our Lady (Fraumunster), Rietberg Museum and so much more!
3 nights in Lucerne
Located at the north end of Lake Lucerne within sight of Mount Pilatus and Rigi, Lucerne is a beautiful small city in the heartland of Switzerland. It features many narrow cobblestone streets, covered bridges, frescoed houses, and fountains. The city became a center of Swiss history and legend, and is the setting for the most memorable part of the legend of William Tell who shot an apple off of his son's head. Lucerne is also a great base from which to explore other famous Swiss sites.
Explore the Old Town, walk the medieval wooden covered bridges, hike Mt Rigi or Mt Pilatus, walk the Fortress walls, cruise on the lake by boat, visit the Lion Monument, the Jesuit Church, the many Museums, check out the Glacier Garden, take some pictures at the Bourbaki Panorama, and so much more!
2 nights in Lugano
The first thing you'll notice about Lugano is that the views are stunning! This fashionable city lies in the Swiss canton of Ticino where it graces the lakeshore with its tree-lined promenade, stately hotels, banks, and churches; while high above, Mount San Salvatore and Mount Brè flank the city and provide stunning forested backdrops that frame charming mountain top villages. Taken from Milan by the Swiss in 1512, it was ruled as a subject district until the dissolution of the old Swiss Confederation in 1798.
Explore the Old Town, enjoy the beautiful Lake Lugano, wander the lovely Parco Civico-Ciani, take the funicular up to Monte Brè, admire the lovely San Lorenzo Cathedral, learn some history of the area by visiting Hermann Hesse Museum, check out the Swissminiatur, hike the Olive Grove Trail, sample some chocolates at The Alprose Chocolate Museum, visit the lovely nearby town of Vico Morcote, and so much more!
3 nights in Milan
Milan is Italy's window on Europe, its most sophisticated and high-tech metropolis. La Scala, its landmark, is one of Europe's most prestigious opera houses. Milan is one of Europe's top shopping cities, with an incredible concentration of sophisticated, high style boutiques - and that's only fitting because Milan is the dynamo of the Italian fashion industry. Dolce & Gabbana, Ferré, Krizia, Moschino, Prada, Armani, and Versace have all catapulted to international stardom from design studios based here. Inevitably, shopping is of almost religious significance.
Discover The Last Supper by Michelangelo, The Duomo, Pinacoteca di Brera, Quadrilatero d'Oro, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Scala museum and theatre, Piazza Fontana, Arco della Pace, the churches of Santa Maria delle Grazie and San Lorenzo, Corso Venezia and Piazza San Babila, Sforzesco Castle and so much more.
For centuries <b>Italy</b> has drawn foreign visitors - mostly for its architectural, artistic, and scenic splendors. Italy can truly be all things to all people. From the passion and excitement of noisy urban crowds to the quiet, rural idyll where the traditional life can be experienced, Italy's great cities are replete with rich attractions and culture alongside some of the most pristine beaches and spectacular mountains in the world.
<b>Switzerland</b> is a pristine country of lakes, mountains and forests. The best known of the continent's mountain ranges, the Alpine chain (Alps), runs through most of Switzerland and provides the majority of the country's magnificent natural sights. In the summer, towns such as Interlaken become green mountain centers for walking and mountaineering; and there are few places more naturally beautiful in the whole of Europe. Zurich, Geneva, Bern and Lucerne are models of Swiss efficiency. Less busy are the lakeside resorts, including fashionable Montreux on Lake Geneva.
