Lucerne and Zurich from Basel

5-day independent rail trip from Basel through Lucerne to Zurich

Railbookers' Lucerne and Zurich from Basel package is a 5-day, 4-night independent rail trip starting in Basel, a city the description places at the base of the Rhine River. From there, travelers spend three days in Lucerne, with day trips to Mount Titlis and Mount Pilatus, before continuing by rail to Zurich to take in the city's architecture and sights. Railbookers notes that this package works well either as a stand-alone trip or as an add-on before or after a Rhine River cruise. As an independent rail package, the trains between Basel, Lucerne, and Zurich are arranged for travelers, who otherwise plan their own days at each stop. It suits travelers who want a short, mountain-and-city combination in Switzerland, especially those already planning a Rhine river cruise. Prices start from 1,699 US dollars.
