Spend a day in the pretty city of Lucerne on a day trip from Zurich, enjoying a short introduction to the city, a cruise on Lake Lucerne, and plenty of free time. After traveling south through scenic landscapes, receive a brief introduction to Lucerne while driving into the city. Then enjoy roughly six hours at leisure to explore the city at your own pace. The day trip includes a ticket for a one-hour panoramic cruise on Lake Lucerne, where you can take in the beautiful lakeside scenery from the water.
