As you all know I'm going to Europe for 5 weeks (two of which are being spent in Belgium). Two weeks will be spent in Switzerland particularly in the city of Wauwil (near Luzern) and I was curious if anyone had any tips.

Thanks again guys! :2thumbsup:

Luzern is beautiful. There's a handy tram thingy system which will take you up the mountains a ways and give a great view of the lake. Just be careful up in the mountains- they didn't have the greatest of hand rails.

Also, there's a slew of very nice, small shops in the town area by the lake. I'd advise allotting a couple hours at least just to go through the streets and browsing.

I thought you were king? :2thumbsup:

I'll visit Zurich probably, but I'm not 100% sure. I might be attending four years of University in Switzerland, so who knows!?

Luzern is a really nice place to visit, a really cozy small Swiss town. Don't forget to eat lots of chocolate and always try to go by tram or by foot; don't go by car, it will spoil the fun. When you go to the town center, go by foot so you can check out all the small shops - make sure to bring lots of cash, you would want to buy stuff, and Switzerland isn't a very cheap country.

If you manage to do it, visit Zurich by all means. It's absolutely wonderful, a big city with an amazing tram system, filled with young people. Bustling all the time, and the city center is great.

Enjoy the vacation. :yes:
