Zurich + Lucerne, Switzerland 🇨🇭

A collection of my favorite stops in one of Europe’s most charming lakeside towns and the Swiss metropolis of Zurich. When in Luzern, sure to walk under the 1333 AD Kappelbrücke (one of the oldest covered bridges in the world). Also included: a side trip by boat to Mt. Rigi across Lake Lucerne.
