Lucerne Travel Forum

Hi...i desperately need info...

I have a group of four of us travelling to Zurich on 03/10/07...we will be based in Lucerne and i need info on the following please:

1. Do we need to purchase any type of swiss pass to travel from Lucern to Mt Pilates and Mt Titlis - or is it cheaper to get ticket locally? ( we are not going to be travelling away from Lucern apart from the Mountain excursions)

2. Is Jungfraujoch feasible in a day trip from Lucerne?

3. Are there any fast food places/pizzeria (as we are all veggies)?

4. Should we purchase a tell pass?

5. How much will it cost (estimate) Lucern to Mount Pilates / Lucern to Mt Titlis?

6. Can anyone recommend a cheap and cheerful place for breakfast as its not included in our package?

7. Lastly, has anyone stayed at the Hotel Akzen Baselrtor?? Is it any good?

Thank you sooo much..awaiting your replies ...

Hi, welcome to VT.
We've just come back from a few days in Lucerne, it's a great place. There are plenty of pizza & other fast food places. I don't know how cheap you want breakfast but there's an all-you-can-eat buffet breakfast for SF19.50 at River Cafe Hug by the second old wooden bridge, the small one.

1) You don't have to buy a Swiss pass for anyhting. You can always pay on the spot. Look up the websites of the relevant companies (google is your friend) to find out the prices.
2) It is feasable, but expensive.
3) Yes
4) Add up the costs of the excursions you want to do, and compare.
5) Again, google is your friend. All the mountain railways have websites. All of them have info in English. All of them have the prices up on the website.
6) Any cafe will sell you a "kafee und Gipfeli" in the morning.
7) Never stayed in a hotel in Luzern, but then I only live an hour away...
