The 10 Full-Day Tours around Zürich We Would Book Again

1.Lucerne and Engelberg Full-Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 604 reviews · 9.5 hours · from $98Our pick

Bus day trip from Zurich to Lucerne and Engelberg, with Lake Lucerne views, monastery highlights, and alpine walks or funicular panoramas.

“Wonderful trip with some of the best views of Switzerland. Lucerne is quick but very easy to explore the small city. The experience at Engelberg was breathtaking and you are able to take rail cars up different mountains than Titlis if you don’t book it. We rode a cable car that is behind the monastery and saw the best views. The stop also had a restaurant, lodge, bar, and activities! They also have a pasture of grazing cows that you can hear clanging their bells. I recommend this experience to everyone trying to see both a small city and the beauty of the alps!”
