Lucerne Switzerland one of the most attractive towns in all of Europe and recently listed in Condé Nast travel as one of the top 20 cities of the world.
The most exciting, convenient excursion out of town is to Mount Titlis and it's very easy to get there -- you take the scenic train from Lucerne on a one hour journey to Engleberg.
You can get up to Mount Titlis by tour bus, but as usual we find it's a lot more pleasant to go by train. The scenery is among the most spectacular you'll find in all of central Switzerland -- enjoying beautiful views of the mountains farms and villages along the way. As we go by some of the typical chalets -- you find this kind of housing all over the countryside of Switzerland.
From the mountain top we get a fine view looking into the heart of what's called the Bernese Overland. These mountain peaks range from about 10,000 feet high, we’re standing now to as high as 12,000 and 13,000 feet in the far distance.
After coming down, we decided to keep going and take another train to Zürich just one hour away. Zürich is the world’s best city to live in, with the highest quality of life, according to recent studies -- so it is also a perfect place to visit.
We walk through the Old Town and then continue along the elegant Bahnhofstrasse, one of Europe’s finest boulevards, lined with thriving, modern retail frontage from end to end. No cars or trucks disrupt this pleasant shopping atmosphere -- only pedestrians and quiet electric trams gliding by.
