Day 6 Innsbruck to Lucerne via Zurich

Day 6 Innsbruck to Lucerne via Zurich


Another cold early start to the day - loved Innsbruck and it is definitely on the bucket list for a return trip.  A little foggy as we left but turned into another bright clear day.  Lots of road tunnels on the journey with a side trek into Lichtenstein on the way through.  We saw lots of snow on trees - wunderbar :)

We stopped at lunch time to visit the Christmas markets in the Zurich railway station - love the Swarovski Christmas tree....


When we arrived we did a cruise on Lake Lucerne - again stunning scenery!

 
Then a trip to the Lion Monument which commemorates the members of the Swiss Guard who were killed in Paris during the French Revolution




Some photos of Lucerne at dusk and early evening

 

This was a giant Advent calendar in the windows of the building
 

Chapel Bridge - beautiful

We are looking forward to spending the day tomorrow roaming the streets of Lucerne and also visiting the towers along the old city wall.
