My husband and I are in our mid 50s and will be flying in/out of Zurich May 22-28 (roughly 5-6 days as tourists). We are from the US and I’m clueless on an itinerary. I’m excited to see quaint towns and castles, the beautiful landscape, enjoy local cuisine. We’d love to see views of/from mountains but not necessarily hike. Would love someone to tell me how we should spend these days. What’s an ideal itinerary for casual, middle aged tourists?
