Holidays International- Switzerland (5 Days)- Rs 50000/-
Description: Interlaken - is all that many visitors ever see of Switzerland, whisked through the country on a rapid lakes-and-mountains tour. The town is situated on the Bödeli, a small alluvial neck of land between the Thunersee and Brienzersee. It's one of the oldest resorts in the country, famed for its superb views towards the Jungfrau massif, which lies perfectly framed between two hills to the south of town.The town is perfectly positioned as the gateway into the Oberland, linked into main train routes to and from Bern and Zürich, with branch lines feeding out in all directions into the high Alps nearby. It's a pleasant enough place, even if bustling and commercial and packed with Swiss-kitsch souvenir shops, and it's useful for its proximity to the mountains.
Lucerne - An hour south of Basel and Zürich, and boasting invigorating mountain views, lake cruises and a picturesque old quarter, LUZERN (Lucerne in French and English, Lucerna in Italian) has long been one of Europe’s most heavily touristed towns. When Queen Victoria came for a long holiday in August 1868 (checking in under a pseudonym), the town was already renowned, and a century of steady growth has resulted these days in five million admirers passing through each year. Tourism is the leading source of income, and yet the city has adeptly managed to retain all of its charm.
