This is a leisurely vacation to Switzerland with a two-night stop in Zurich and three nights in the Interlaken area and Zermatt. Your trip starts in Zurich, the largest city in Switzerland, with a walking tour of the Old Town, followed by a Globus Platinum Exclusive — you choose your experience: a special visit to the world-famous Sprüngli Confectioner's shop or a visit to the impressive Swiss National Museum. Next, enjoy a walking tour of picture-book Lucerne before traveling across Brunig Pass to the Interlaken area. Stay in picturesque Grindelwald and enjoy an unforgettable trip to the Alpine wonderland of eternal ice and snow: the Jungfrau, Europe's highest railway station at an amazing 11,333 feet. Also stop in the capital of Switzerland, Berne, where a guided sightseeing tour includes a picture stop at the famous Bear Pit. Your Globus Platinum Discovery is a special lunch with local specialties at an original working farm near Berne. Stop in Gruyères and drive past Lake Geneva before you board your mountain train to car-free Zermatt, a picturesque cluster of rustic chalets at the foot of the magnificent Matterhorn. Hear about the mountain climbers who attempted the Matterhorn and visit the Matterhorn Museum. Then another highlight: board the world-renowned Glacier Express for a scenic train journey to Chur. Admire thundering waterfalls, impressive peaks, glacial ice fields, and tiny villages. Finally, return to Zurich and have a farewell dinner to celebrate the success of your Swiss vacation. This leisurely trip to Switzerland is a vacation of a lifetime!
