Following the baggage, ticket and passport procedures, we depart for Zurich at 12:00 on SunExpress Airlines’ scheduled flight XQ 960. After arriving in Zurich at 14:05, we set off for Lucerne with our vehicle waiting at the airport.
Alexandre Dumas’ saying, “If Switzerland is an oyster, Lucerne is the pearl inside it,” takes on meaning the moment you set foot in the city. With its lakeside location, wooden bridges, historic buildings and orderly urban fabric, Lucerne stands out as one of Switzerland’s most elegant cities. During our city tour, we see the Chapel Bridge, the Lion Monument and the area around Lake Lucerne. After the free time, we depart for Zurich.
During our Zurich city tour, Grossmünster, Fraumünster Churches, St. Peterskirche and Bahnhofstrasse are among the places to be seen. At the end of the day, we proceed to our hotel in the Zurich area.
Day 2 Zurich – Heidi Village – Vaduz – Zurich
Today, we set our course for Heidi Village, one of Switzerland’s most characteristic destinations. We depart for the town of Maienfeld, located at the foothills of the Alps and associated with Johanna Spyri’s world-famous work.
Heidi Village is one of Switzerland’s most special regions with its preserved natural setting, traditional Alpine architecture and peaceful atmosphere. During our visits to Heidihaus and its surroundings, we get to know the region’s natural and cultural character up close. Wooden houses, mountain views and a pastoral atmosphere are among the elements that make this region unforgettable.
After our visit to Heidi Village, we depart for Vaduz, the capital of the Principality of Liechtenstein. One of Europe’s smallest capitals, Vaduz draws attention with its orderly urban structure and tranquil atmosphere. During our walk in the city center, we have free time accompanied by shopping areas, the square and Vaduz Castle visible in the distance. At the end of the day, we return to Zurich and arrive at our hotel.
Day 3 Zurich – Interlaken – Lauterbrunnen – (Optional Mürren) – Zurich
We depart for Interlaken, one of Switzerland’s most impressive natural regions. Located between Lakes Thun and Brienz, this town is one of the region’s most important centers with its surroundings framed by mountain views. During the free time here, we have the opportunity to explore the surroundings and take photographs.
After our visit to Interlaken, we continue to the Lauterbrunnen Valley. Known as the “Valley of 72 Waterfalls,” this region is one of Switzerland’s most fascinating natural areas with its waterfalls cascading down between high cliffs and its lush nature. During our visits in the valley, we experience the unique views offered by the region up close.
We then ascend to the village of Mürren with guests who wish to do so, using the cable car connection. The Mürren tour, notable for its car-free structure and Alpine views, will be carried out optionally. After completing the program, we return to Zurich and check into our hotel.
Day 4 Zurich – Riquewihr- Colmar- Freiburg
After departing from the hotel, our destination is Riquewihr, known as Alsace’s most famous village… This charming town, where 1,200 people live, is visited by 2 million people every year thanks to the harmony of its two-story Alsatian half-timbered and concrete houses, with their different colors and architectural styles. You will not be able to get enough of taking photographs in this wonderful town blended with history, culture and nature.
Our next stop is Colmar, one of the most special cities in the Alsace region. With its colorful houses, canals and streets decorated with flowers, Colmar is one of the most remarkable cities in Alsace. During our city tour, Little Venice (Petite Venise), Saint Martin Cathedral and the historic streets are among the places to be seen.
At the end of the day, we proceed to our hotel in the Freiburg area.
Day 5 Freiburg - Basel – İzmir
After departing from the hotel, we head to Freiburg, located in southwestern Germany in the Black Forest region. Offering a balanced combination of nature and urban life, Freiburg is considered one of Germany’s most livable cities.
During our Freiburg city tour, Freiburg Minster, Münsterplatz, the historic city center and the water channels that have become a symbol of the city are among the places to be seen. Especially with its historic urban fabric and lively squares, Freiburg offers a pleasant finale on the last day of our tour.
