Quick advice needed please - where to spend a day away from Lucerne

Hello! We spent today in Lucerne, but tomorrow looks completely rainy and is our last day in Switzerland. We are considering taking a short train ride to see somewhere else. We don’t want to spend too long on the train but are there some good suggestions, or should we just spend another day in Lucerne? Thank you very much!

It is unlikely to rain all day. The weather forecast I found ( https://www.wetter.de/schweiz/wetter-luzern-18129065.html ) says 50-60% risk of rain, that is at any time during the day, not all day, and windy.

1) Spend the day on a boat trip to the far end of the lake (Flüelen), get a train back. If it rains you can sit inside and look out of the window.

2) Take a trip by train to Interlaken and back. Same logic, you are inside.

3) Check on weather on Titlis. It may be cloudy, but if you are in luck the summit will be above the clouds. Webcams look cloudy at the moment, but you could be lucky.

4) Spend the day in Bern. Nice city, with undercover arcades.

Thank you for your replies! It is drizzling right now. Since we have already been on impressive mountains in Zermatt, I think we will take the suggestion of going to Bern for the last day! ThNk you for your time!
