Lucerne is quintessentially Swiss! Situated on the edge of Lake Lucerne, it is surrounded by amazing snow-capped peaks and offers great connectivity to a whole lot of places in Switzerland. What makes this city a hot favourite for first-time travellers is the warm, touristy, Swiss vibe the city exudes.

If you are travelling with kids, then do not miss Lugano and its insanely cute Swiss Miniature Park.
