About this experience

About Your Day Trip Experience the best of Switzerland’s countryside and charming villages on this full-day guided tour from Zurich. Your journey begins with a comfortable coach ride out of Zurich, offering relaxing views of rolling meadows and mountain scenery. As you travel along the shores of Lake Lucerne (the Lake of the Four Cantons), your guide will point out famous landmarks while sharing stories of Swiss history and culture. Discover Lucerne Your first stop is Lucerne, renowned for its picturesque Old Town, waterfront promenades and medieval architecture. Use your free time here to wander cobbled lanes, cross the iconic Chapel Bridge, and admire the historic Town Hall and impressive Jesuit Church. Stroll along the lake or browse independent shops and cafes. The city’s blend of tradition and lakeside charm is perfect for a gentle introduction to central Switzerland. Explore Engelberg After Lucerne, you’ll drive a scenic route to Engelberg, a beautiful Swiss alpine village surrounded by towering peaks. Originally founded by Benedictine monks, Engelberg is steeped in history and alpine culture. The village centre is dominated by its grand 12th-century Baroque monastery—home to Switzerland’s largest organ—and is now also known for its artisan cheese-making facilities. Take time to tour the monastery, see local cheese production, and stroll through the peaceful village streets. If you love the outdoors, Engelberg’s scenic hiking trails offer the chance to enjoy fresh alpine air amid spectacular mountain landscapes.
