Hi there,
my boyfriend and I are attending a wedding in Amsterdam the last weekend of September and have decided to take about a week beforehand to do some Europe travel. I have been dreaming of Switzerland for a while and this seems like a good time to make it happen. I'd love feedback on the below, especially our last couple days! For context, we're in our late 20s, and enjoy the outdoors, good food, and cool cultural hubs.
9/18 Arrive to Zurich in the afternoon, train to Lucerne and overnight
9/19 Wander Lucerne most of the day, evening train to Lauterbrunnen
9/20-9/22 Full days in Berner Oberland, hiking, biking, taking gondolas, etc. (I am curious how impactful the national holiday on the 20th will be? Will lifts and trains still run? Are restaurants open?)
9/22 Go to Interlaken or Speiz in evening to overnight near large train station.
Then this is where I am still workshopping! Thinking either:
9/23 Train to Lake Como, afternoon arrival
9/24 Full day in Lake Como, late evening departure for hotel near Milan airport
9/25 Morning flight Milan to AMS
OR:
9/23 Train to Lake Geneva, explore Lusanne/Montreaux, overnight in one
9/24 Morning at the lake, afternoon train into Geneva to explore a bit, late flight to AMS
Would love any thoughts or suggestions!
