Hubby and I fly into Frankfurt on a Monday in Sept. Will take train from Frankfurt airport into Switzerland. Want to see Mt. Pilatus on Tuesday and then meet up with friends on Tuesday night in Basel. We board a river cruise in Basel on Thursday.
1. Should we take train directly to Lucerne on Monday, stay 1 night in Lucerne, and then take train back to Basel on Tuesday late afternoon, or
2. Just book a hotel in Basel for 3 nights and travel to Mt Pilates from Basel on Tuesday morning.
3. After river cruise we will visit Nuremberg, any recommendations for hotel?
4. Will travel back to Frankfurt airport by train to return to US. Any recommendations on what kind of train ticket to buy: Frankfurt airport to Basel/Lucerne, trip to Mt. Pilates, Nuremberg to Frankfurt airport.
Thanks in advance for your recommendations.
