We land in Zurich mid-late afternoon on Thursday, May 4th and plan to spend the night there. We have 3 nights after that (May 5th - 7th) to spend somewhere in Switzerland before we train south to Italy (Lake Como). We would prefer to spend those 3 nights in one base.
We have never been to Switzerland. We are not museum people. We prefer smaller towns to big cities (we prefer St. Andrews to Edinburgh). We like pretty scenery with lunches/dinners overlooking water. I can walk several miles, but a bad knee makes stairs and downhills difficult. Would Lucerne be a good option?
Thank you for your input!
