The Chapel Bridge is one of the most iconic landmarks in Switzerland. As a covered wooden footbridge spanning across the River Reuss, it connects the Old Town of Lucerne with the new town. The bridge was built in the 14th century, and it is decorated with more than 100 paintings dating from the 17th century. You can stroll through the Old Town after your visit to the Chapel Bridge. Here you will find more than 50 fountains, historic buildings, and narrow streets to explore. Don't miss the colorful façade of the Old City Hall.
Interlaken is a charming town located between two lakes and is a good starting point for exploring the famous mountain region of Jungfrau. Take a train from Interlaken to Jungfraujoch, the top of Europe. The train will pass through magnificent mountain scenery including the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks. Reach the summit to enjoy snow year-round. While you are here, don't miss the Ice Palace carved out of the glacier. Back in Interlaken, enjoy the views of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, or take a boat ride to explore the surroundings.
If you have more time, you can explore the surrounding areas of Interlaken, such as Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald. If you have less time, you can skip the train ride to the Jungfrau region and explore Interlaken and the nearby lakes instead. Don't forget to carry warm clothes and comfortable shoes. Also, buy a Swiss Travel Pass for cheaper and more convenient travel around Switzerland.
