Hello,
I am looking for opinions/suggestions on my proposed itinerary for June.
I have not locked down on anything so am still flexible - changes are welcome.

I have two options that I am considering now for the trip, with 15 nights on the ground. I want to have a good mix of cities (art, history, culture, architecture) and the Alps.

1

Fly into Milan
immediately to go Lake Maggiore (Stresa) - 3 nights
then travel to Luzern - 3 nights
on to Murren - 5 nights
then to Bern - 2 nights (I know Bern is often recommended as a day trip but there are several things I want to do there that can't be packed into one day)
travel to Geneva - 2 nights (want to tour the UN , but will stay in either Vevey/Lausanne/Montreax)
fly out of Geneva

2

Fly into Geneva
immediately go to Bern -2 nights
then to Luzern - 3 nights
then travel to Lake Maggiore - 3 nights
then to Murren - 5 nights
then to Geneva - 2 nights

fly out of Geneva

Airfare is about the same (right now) for both options so I am just trying to understand the travel between spots and the sequence, particularly with the Italian lakes area. Is there any of the scenic rail journey trains that are a must and can fit with either of these options?

Any suggestions or recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Maurice
