So much to see in Zurich. The cathedral with the Chegal stained glass windows was a highlight. Be sure to rent the self-guided earphones. The lake tour via tour boat was lovely. Easy city to get around - wonderful train system and not so crowded with automobiles. ...
The people weren't too friendly but the old town is easy to navigate and picturesque. Don't miss the Christmas market in the Central Train Station and the huge Swarovski crystal Christmas tree there. ...
The day was colder than expected
However, lots to explore between the underground train stations, the predestrian street with the high end shops and old town
Had an authentic Bavarian dinner that was dellicious ...
Rode the tram to top of Mt. Pilatus (gorgeous!) and browsed the city of Lucerne before continuing on by motor coach to Basel to board the Tranquility II. ...
itinerary says lake cruise. doesn't happen. no explanation. no comment. just whole lot of bus back to the hotel. when questioned about it we hear "we don't do the lake cruise in winter"...funny, because it is listed on the itinerary. thanks for telling us. ...
Mt. Pilatus excursion was great. Views, tram, and cog railway all fantastic.
Hotel Movenpick very comfortable. Hotel restaurant with lots of Movenpick ice cream treats was a good value. ...
