Switzerland-Austria : 08 DAYS, 07 NIGHTS
Arrival by plane in Zurich
Luzerne, Switzerland 2 nights
Arriving in the country of Wilhelm Tell, we marvel at the towering majesty of the Swiss Alps on our way to the captivating charm of Lucerne, the touristy capital of German-speaking Switzerland. During our stroll in the city we pas the medieval Wooden Bridge (kapelbrücke) and the Lion Monument. Next we have our heads in the clouds taking a cable-lift to the eternal snow of the Titlis Mountain of Engelenberg.
Inssbrück, Austria 5 nights
We will do trips to following locations from this hotel.
Salzburg: (www.salzburg.com)
A one-day excursion to the wonderful Austrian town, also called "City of Music".
In its ancient centre you can meet and enjoy the musicians standing at every corner of the square in front of St Peter's cathedral.
Innsbruck: (http://www.innsbruck-tourism.at)
A half-day excursion in the lovely city the name of which means 'the bridge across the river Inn', It is famous for its 'Golden Roof', built during the reign of Emperor Maximilian I, to conceal the dark wall of the building built by Duke Frederik IV, who was called "the Duke with the empty purse".
The ski-jump accommodation reminds you of the Olympic Winter Games held in this town in the sixties.
Bavaria in Germany: (http://www.bayern.by)
This will be a trip right across the German border (Füssen) Where you're going to visit the idyllic castle of "Neuschwangstein". The "mad" king of Bavaria, Ludwig II, built it and Walt Disney got inspired by it for his movie "Sleeping Beauty".
In the neighbourhood there's another option. Linderhof castle was also build by Ludwig II. His model was the petit Trianon of Versailles. Linderhof has a magnificent garden.
Bavaria offers you more than castles... You may not forget Oberammergau, a small town that became world-famous for his 10-yearly music festival (festspiele) and its wood sculptures.
And not to forget Weiss with its opulous baroque church (Weisskirche).
Sankt Moritz is the touristy heart of the Ober-Engadin. The ancient village has enlarged itself into a real town. Sankt Moritz is known for its luxurious hotels of the 19th and 20th century but it also offers its visitor a wide range of sports and entertainment facilities only known in a fashionable world.
