We hope you've had an enchanting time in Zürich so far, because it's time to depart and explore some of Switzerland's best scenery and history. Our first stop just a short drive south: the historic city of Lucerne.

You arrive in Lucerne and will have the first half of today as free time to enjoy its charms. Considered the ‘Essence of Switzerland', you might want to check out Chapel Bridge. This striking landmark is Europe's oldest covered bridge built back in the 14th century. Seek out the Lion Monument or find out more about German composer, conductor, and theatre director Richard Wagner at the museum. Explore cobbled streets and charming squares, all while enjoying the beauty of Lake Lucerne and the Swiss Alps. Make sure to leave some time to grab lunch before we head on to our next tour stop.

We carry on further down south to the shores of Lake Thunersee. Why? Well, let's not forget that some of the world's beauty is somewhat hidden from the eye and we must look a little deeper to find it. Which is why we're treating you to the beauty of St. Beatus Caves. Upon first arrival, you'll be wowed as it is with the thunderous waterfall spewing out from under striking Swiss buildings with one of the most enviable views imaginable. But here's where we look deeper. A short 5-minute walk past these waterfalls brings you to a 14-kilometre labyrinth of caves, cracked and bursting with stalagmites and stalactites, grottos and gorges, mysteries and history.

Now that you're well and truly in awe, we head for our final destination of the day and our home for the next two nights: Interlaken. This charming resort town is nestled in the Bernese Oberland region, known for its stunning natural beauty. Interlaken may be known as the adventure capital of Switzerland, but if all you want to do tonight is sit and eat and drink... we fully support this. Breathe deep that crisp mountain air you've only ever read about in guidebooks as you settle in for the night and reminisce on an adventure-filled first day.
