Zurich questions
Is 5 days enough for Zurich?
Five days covers central Zurich plus day trips to Lucerne and the Rhine Falls. Standard Swiss train fares don't change with booking time; limited Supersaver tickets are cheaper if you book well ahead.
Do I need to book the FIFA Museum ahead?
Booking ahead isn't required. Buying online is worth it for busy weekends and school holidays.
How do I get from Zurich to Lucerne?
Take the direct train from Zurich Hauptbahnhof to Lucerne station. The journey takes 45 minutes and runs every 30 minutes.
How much does a trip to Rhine Falls cost?
A round-trip train to Neuhausen am Rheinfall costs 25 Swiss francs with a day pass. Add 8 francs for the boat to the rock in the falls.
