Enchanting Switzerland
Getting down from the Train travelling from Zurich to Bern was amazing as it took 45 mts to reach Bern,Capital of Switzerland. Helped by a Rail staff to lift my bags and got a taxi to reach Hotel Waldhorn. Hotel was small but looked neat. I could not resist to get out on first day after i landed. Got out and ventured to the streets and was amazed at Trams and Buses which looked strange and beautiful to me as they swayed and carried passengers from one stop to another. Streets were clean and football season was in air and i watched football with some guys (native of switzerland) in the nearby restaurant. Weekdays were devoted to work and i was waiting to get out to explore switzerland. First trip on Saturday after a superb breakfast was to the City of Lucerne. Lucerne was 45 mts from Bern Station and Trains in Switzerland are excellent to reach places far and near. After comfortable journey for 45 mts reached Lucerne. Now lets get to attractions in Lucerne and the first attraction which i saw was Lake Lucerne in its glory and wandering Ships from one side of lake to another. I was fortunate to catch a glimpse of Raifessen Music festival and just bumped into the crowd and watched the opening ceremony of the festival. Festival was inaugurated and music in the air and streets were filled with cars which are loud and fast. Walking along Lake Lucerne is like walking on a romantic beach. Not to resist got on a boat from a brier and there was splendid ride for 1 hour with splendid sights sideways starting from old architectures and beautiful landscapes. Main attractions at Lucerne are Lion Monument, Lake Lucerne, Chapel Bridge, Old Tower. Lucerne is an international cultural venue, hosting a series of festivals and offering several excellent museums. Finally, Lucerne is fast developing into a centre for congresses and trade fairs. Lucerne Tourism is the central marketing and sales organisation. Hold on keep the fingers crossed ! More to come on my next blog about Switzerland and its scenic locations and hotspots.

ALL ABOUT SWITZERLAND
Undoubtedly Switzerland can is one of the amazing place on earth..your blog made me remind my trip to Swis..
Zermatt is my favourite place, you'll always find good snow (even now, this winter is not too cold) but also Chamonix is very good. Due to Swiss Franc, i actually prefer to go in Cervinia or Courmayeur, on the opposite italian side, prices are 30% cheaper
- Other: a part from mountains, Swizerland has very nice lakes, so:
- I spent lot of time in Lugano, with a good lake and 2 good casino too (Lugano and Campione).
- Geneve is also very nice, but superexpensive, if possible, just pass by take a look and run away...it was my first honeymoon trip which i booked from India 's best travel company which everyone trust i.e Yatra.com they ease my trip..
