Will be flying into Zurich and out of Munich mid April (Sunday early arrival, Saturday afternoon departure). Visiting our son who is currently working in Munich. Son and I previously spent a week in Munich/Salzburg, Innsbruck last April. Decided to fly into Zurich and spend a few days in Switzerland then take train to Munich. Considering Sunday-Wednesday in Switzerland then Wed-Sat Munich so hubby gets to experience Munich and surrounding area as well.
While in Switzerland, I would love to take one of the many scenic train rides but would like input on what would make the most sense for our time there. Should we home base in Lucerne and take day trips, or consider a longer scenic train and overnight in a different location? I don't expect we would be able to hike much this time of year but otherwise open to any suggestions this wonderful group would like to offer. Two mid-50s adults and 2 mid-20's kids traveling. Thank you in advance!
