Switzerland Budget Couple Tour Package
Tour Overview
A 6-day budget Switzerland package for couples from India - one night in Zurich on arrival, three in Interlaken and one in Lucerne, with every rail ticket bought and issued before you fly. Best from late May to early October, when the ridge railway and the lake steamers are both on their full summer schedule.
This is the entry-level Switzerland trip, and it is built to be exactly that rather than a longer package with things quietly removed. Six days is enough for two proper days out - a cog railway from 1893 up to a ridge facing the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau, and a paddle steamer across Lake Brienz to a waterfall reached by the oldest public funicular in Europe - plus two old towns and a scenic pass crossing between them. Summit tickets are the most expensive item in any Swiss itinerary, so they are not folded into the price here. Every one of them is on the add-on list with what it costs, and you decide.
Key features of this package
Budget itinerary
Explore your journey day by day, with every stay, transfer and experience clearly planned.
Arrival: The station sits directly beneath Zurich Airport arrivals. Ten minutes to the city centre, no shuttle and nobody to find.
Check-in: One night in central Zurich, double bed. A single night on purpose - a city room with nothing included in it is the first thing to cut from an entry-price package.
Evening: The lake promenade at Burkliplatz. In summer the light holds until nearly ten.
Afternoon: The Niederdorf lanes and the Lindenhof terrace, which gives you the whole Old Town in one view and costs nothing.
