Lucerne

Sinta-se à vontade para explorar no seu próprio ritmo e descobrir

Parada: 2 horas - entrada não incluída

Lucerne is a Swiss city that has it all - lakeside views, alpine peaks, and a medieval spirit wrapped in the beauty of the Alps.

Set beside snow-dusted peaks and mirrored waters, Lucerne is where Swiss storybook scenes come to life. Spend your four hours wandering Old Town’s cobbled lanes and ornate guild halls, crossing the flower-lined Chapel Bridge and admiring the baroque grandeur of the Jesuit Church. Stroll the lake promenade, where swans glide past alpine reflections, or visit the Rosengart Collection for Picassos in a peaceful gallery setting. Consider a short lake cruise for unbeatable views. Whether you’re sipping hot chocolate or photographing medieval towers, Lucerne is full of jaw-dropping scenery at every turn.

Gotthard Pass (passar por)

Você passará por este local deslumbrante – não deixe de aproveitar a vista ao longo do caminho!

Wind through the historic Gotthard Pass, where alpine switchbacks, shifting skies, and centuries of legend mark the crossroads of Switzerland.

Teufelsbrucke (ponto de foto)

Faremos uma parada neste local perfeito para fotos – aproveite para capturar a vista!

Parada: 20 min - entrada não incluída

Snap a photo beside the legendary Devil’s Stone: a 200-ton alpine boulder steeped in myth and dramatic mountain scenery.

Lugano

Sinta-se à vontade para explorar no seu próprio ritmo e descobrir

Parada: 3 horas - entrada não incluída

From Eurovision roots to lakeside bliss, Lugano mixes music history with mountain charm.

Lugano is pure lakeside serenity with a splash of pop culture history. As the host of the first-ever Eurovision Song Contest, the city blends legacy with leisure. Start at the Teatro Kursaal, snap a retro photo, then stroll the Lake Lugano promenade where jasmine and espresso aromas mingle. Ride up Monte Bre or Monte San Salvatore for iconic views and alpine breezes, or simply relax with polenta e brasato and a glass of Ticinese Merlot. With 180 minutes to explore and your driver handling the details, Lugano unfolds at your own pace.

Great transfer option.

I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.

It was a fantastic trip.

We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.

Best transport company anywhere

We absolutely love this company and have used it many times over the years to get from A to B without the hassle of hiring a car ourselves. Excellent drivers every time. Efficient and professional. It’s worth every penny and we can honestly recommend Day Trip to everyone. It’s 5 star rating is well deserved.

Excellent experience in traveling

We traveled from Nuremberg to Munich in a beautiful Audi. Driver picked us at our hotel at the exact time requested. Got us to Munich in plenty of time for our next tour. Driver made sure we were comfortable

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.

Daytrip never disappoints

We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.

Great driver in Egypt

Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.

Comfortable and Safe Rides in Mexico

Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.

Great way to travel and see some sights on the way

We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.

Excellent service

We used the service twice while in Thailand. Extremely prompt and efficient customer service. Best rate being offered in Chiang Mai for the travels. Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.

This unique itinerary showcases Switzerland's remarkable cultural diversity in a single day. You'll experience the Germanic-influenced central Swiss character of Lucerne, with its medieval architecture and Alpine setting, before crossing the Gotthard Pass to discover Lugano's Mediterranean atmosphere, including palm-lined lakeshores, Italian architectural influences, and southern Swiss charm.

The journey from Lucerne to Lugano is one of Switzerland's most scenic drives, crossing the spectacular Gotthard Pass (weather permitting) or through the Gotthard Tunnel. The route showcases Switzerland's dramatic geographical transition from the Alpine central region to the Mediterranean-like Ticino canton with changing landscapes, vegetation, and cultural influences throughout the journey.

Lucerne is in the German-speaking part of Switzerland, where Swiss German is commonly spoken, though English is widely understood in tourist areas. Lugano is in the Italian-speaking Ticino canton, where Italian is the primary language. This linguistic transition is part of what makes this combination so culturally rich and diverse.

Focus on the beautiful lakefront promenade with its gardens, subtropical plants, and mountain views, the charming traffic-free old town with its Mediterranean piazzas and arcaded streets, the San Salvatore or Monte Brè mountains for panoramic vistas, and the Santa Maria degli Angeli Church with its famous Renaissance fresco by Bernardino Luini.

The culinary contrast is remarkable. Lucerne offers traditional Swiss-German specialties like cheese fondue, raclette, and rosti, while Lugano features Italian-influenced cuisine, including risotto, polenta, fresh lake fish, and excellent gelato. This gastronomic journey from Central European to Mediterranean flavors is a highlight of the trip for food enthusiasts.

This trip is enjoyable year-round, though spring and fall offer particular advantages. In spring (April-June), you might experience snow in Lucerne and blooming camellias in Lugano. September-October brings pleasant temperatures in both locations and fewer tourists. Summer offers lively atmospheres while winter showcases Christmas markets in Lucerne and milder temperatures in Lugano.

With this private day trip, you'll typically spend about 2 hours exploring Lucerne's compact historic center and lakefront, followed by 3 hours in Lugano. While this provides less time in each destination than dedicated visits, it offers an efficient overview of Switzerland's diverse regions in a single day.

Pack layers to accommodate potential temperature differences between the two regions. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for exploring both historic centers. Bring sun protection (especially for Lugano's Mediterranean climate), a camera for capturing the diverse landscapes, and swimwear in summer if you'd like to enjoy Lugano's lakeshore beaches.
