Lofty Mount Pilatus watches over Lucerne’s medieval alleyways and the Kapellbrücke, a 14th-century wooden footbridge. In summer, jump aboard the steep cogwheel railway to the 2000-metre-high mountain top for Swiss views. Or take a boat cruise across the multi-limbed Lake Lucerne, surrounded by forested slopes.

Bern

Diminutive Bern may be Switzerland’s capital, but it has the peaceful air of a provincial town, with its UNESCO-listed centre of medieval sandstone arcades. Check out the Gothic cathedral and elaborate clock tower then visit the bears at home in the historic bear pits.
