Lucerne - October 19-22 2023

We arrived by train from Grindelwald on Saturday October 19 - an unusual Swiss train trip since it includes two train changes and a replacement bus service(!), but we made it. In Lucerne we stayed at the Grand Hotel National with gorgeous views across Lake Lucerne.

The stay in Lucerne was a bit rainy, but we persisted with our walking tour habit and there is lots to see - both history and wonderful views wherever you look.

On Monday, we took a boat trip to Vitznau, at first thinking we would take the cog railway up to Mount Rigi, but low cloud and rain chased us into a wonderful local restaurant - Nostalgie Bar - where we spent a charming afternoon for an extended late lunch.

That's it for our Switzerland adventure of 2023. We will be back soon - we just love it here!
