Hi everyone! 👋
Me and my husband are planning our Switzerland trip (first week of June) and this will be our first time ever in Switzerland. Would love some suggestions from all the experts here.
Current itinerary plan:
2 nights in Lucerne:
Day 1: land in Zurich → Lucerne
• Lindt Chocolate Museum
• Lucerne Old Town & Lake walk
Stay: Lucerne
Day 2: Mt. Titlis + Lucerne
• Cable car, snow activities
• Relaxed evening in Lucerne
Stay: Lucerne
4 nights stay in Bern:
Day 3: Lucerne → Bern
• Bern Old Town, Zytglogge
• Aare River walk
Stay: Bern
Day 4: Lauterbrunnen + Interlaken Lakes
• Lauterbrunnen waterfalls
• Lake Thun / Lake Brienz cruise
Stay: Bern
Day 5: Grindelwald (Full Day)
• Grindelwald First, Cliff Walk, alpine views
Stay: Bern
Day 6: Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe
• Ice Palace & Snow Plateau
Stay: Bern
📍 Stay details:
We’re using Accor points for stays, hence we’ve finalized Lucerne & Bern as our base cities. This will help save us out of pocket expenses and utilise them in other experiences.
🙏 Looking for suggestions on:
1. Any challenges with staying in Bern? (As mentioned we are looking to book there to save our stay cost)
2. If not Bern, where to stay for 4-nights considering our itinerary and not too expensive accommodation.
3. Any must-do experiences we should add.
4. Scenic alternatives or hidden gems around these areas.
5. Tips specific to traveling in early June.
6. Should we take the full Swiss travel pass or half-rate pass
Thanks in advance - would really appreciate your inputs! 🇨🇭✨
