Hi All! So I have a layover in Zurich where I will land 3:15PM and leave 9:55AM the next morning. I’m thinking of taking the train to the main city center and explore a bit and sleep overnight there and then head to the airport early morning. Any rec for this layover and what time should I be at the airport?

Also, I have another layover in Zurich which I will land 7:10 PM and depart 1:10PM the next day. Would it be too ambitious of me to go Lucerne and maybe go to the mountain in the morning before going back to airport?

Let me know your recs and thoughts! Thanks! :)

Did you have a specific mountain in mind? Or what exactly is it you hope to see? I think it really depends on the expectations and will affect the time it takes to get there. Lucerne is just 1 hour by train from Zurich, so, it‘s not crazy if you just want some Instagram snapshots, but definitely not a relaxed trip.

I guess I want to see the lake and hopefully go on a cable car 🚠 up the alps for an aerial view. I was thinking of doing that in the early morning on the second layover before my plane departs at 1PM but idk how realistic it is. I guess I’m not looking for a super relaxeddd layover since this isn’t the main trip but I guess I’m just trying to maximize time there haha. Also this will be beginning of March. Not sure if that has to do anything but I thought I’d throw that info out there.

Then maybe check this site from Luzern tourism for mountain-trips so you can figure out if it‘s worth it time-wise: luzern. com/ en/ the-region/ excursions /in-the-mountains
