Avalon River Cruise - Como to Lucerne: A Scenic Swiss Train Ride & Hidden Gems Tour! 🇨🇭🚆

Join us as we continue our unforgettable Avalon Waterways Romantic Rhine – Northbound River Cruise, exploring even more of Europe with an incredible post-cruise extension! After saying goodbye to the beautiful lakeside town of Como, Italy, we board a scenic train ride through the Alps to Lucerne, Switzerland, where history, beauty, and flavor collide. We check into the elegant Hotel Astoria Luzern and give you a quick tour of our stylish room. We also head out for lunch at the trendy La Bestia, a modern spot known for its bold flavors and Italian fusion. With full stomachs, we begin our walking tour of Lucerne’s old town, stopping by two must-see historic landmarks: 🦁 The Lion Monument: This somber sculpture was created by Danish artist Bertel Thorvaldsen and carved in 1821 to honor the Swiss Guards who were massacred during the French Revolution in 1792. Mark Twain once described it as "the most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world." 🌉 Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke): Dating back to 1333, this is Europe’s oldest surviving wooden covered bridge. It’s adorned with 17th-century paintings that depict important scenes from Lucerne’s history. The bridge and its iconic Water Tower are the city's most photographed landmarks. To end a perfect day, we grab dinner at Wolf Burger & Steak Bar, where Swiss quality meets bold, meaty flavors. 👉 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe if you enjoy our European travel adventures! 📌 Full Avalon Romantic Rhine Cruise Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgOD_qNmwZ8&list=PLiqkMjFjcN9bEgT87-W0-ZQAvehP2c9Qo Disclaimer: As An Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases Luggage Belt https://amzn.to/4fYYsAu Packing Cubes https://amzn.to/40KrAal Apple Air Tags https://amzn.to/4heuwRM Travel Fan https://amzn.to/4gZ4NNE Safety Kit https://amzn.to/4ggsShP Tens Unit https://amzn.to/429Wzh0 USB C - C Cord https://amzn.to/42fxRLZ USB C Cord https://amzn.to/4jefs8t USB Charger https://amzn.to/4jeOYnp Travel Plug Adapter https://amzn.to/4gVSzVZ Travel Plug Adapter https://amzn.to/4jkID9S Medicine Bag https://amzn.to/3PCmruw Pill Organizer https://amzn.to/42ehO16 Thermometer https://amzn.to/42jSpmH Digestive Enzymes https://amzn.to/4fXjHCx Eyeglasses Repair https://amzn.to/40zFGuZ Traveling Hair Dryer https://amzn.to/4akYjG2 Baggallini https://amzn.to/4jf5xzF Flat Iron https://amzn.to/42am9m1 Clear Travel Bag https://amzn.to/4jlvaPs Shampoo Bottles https://amzn.to/3C9QHcZ Medicine Bag https://amzn.to/3PDvSK7 Packing Cubes https://amzn.to/40nuikq Vacuum Sealer https://amzn.to/3CbQBS8 TSA Scissors https://amzn.to/4gVEcAW Carry On Backpack https://amzn.to/40zMRmL Tumbler https://amzn.to/3PDkXQE Charger Pack https://amzn.to/3DT03KO Carry On Backpack https://amzn.to/40zMRmL Small Travel 1st Aid https://amzn.to/4aiC2sE Tea Bags https://amzn.to/40cFbWe Packing Cube https://amzn.to/40Bjj8t Phone Case https://amzn.to/40gTVna Float https://amzn.to/42eD0UC Float Chair https://amzn.to/3Cc9jce Waterproof Bag https://amzn.to/3CalLcy Water Resistance Pants https://amzn.to/4cNdxoE Other Travel Items: Tooth Pain https://amzn.to/4g8hfte Bonine https://amzn.to/3Wp8eon Travel Organizer https://amzn.to/3Wl0t2Q Motion Sickness https://amzn.to/4jfFmc5 Portable Clothes Line https://amzn.to/4h15Cpe Towel Bands https://amzn.to/3DYVL4A Motion Light https://amzn.to/4g0zSik Lanyard https://amzn.to/3E0yeQQ Luggage Tags https://amzn.to/4hhWvjG Magnet Hooks https://amzn.to/4hh4BJ5 Power Strip ** https://amzn.to/40i8FlE Door Organizer https://amzn.to/3C07nUp Drink Holder https://amzn.to/4jgX8f4 Airplane PhoneHolder https://amzn.to/3Cc8nof Binoculars https://amzn.to/3Wlq8bK Hamper https://amzn.to/3CjGPgI Luggage Scale https://amzn.to/42g46uM Travel Toothbrush https://amzn.to/4hbRF81 Travel Alarm https://amzn.to/40EtrMD Neck Pillow https://amzn.to/3PEnn1g Wallet Phone Case https://amzn.to/4am26Dc HD Magnets https://amzn.to/4amERsI Cabin Door Doodle https://amzn.to/4hjhnHd Magnet Hooks for Ceiling https://amzn.to/3PPpejP Waterproof Float Strap https://amzn.to/3WsR3Ci Water Bag https://amzn.to/4jqUXp4 Wrinkle Release https://amzn.to/40nLuX5 Tums https://amzn.to/3E571wk Toiletry Bag https://amzn.to/3PII6kD Sunscreen https://amzn.to/3Wtj0dr Liquid IV https://amzn.to/42nBvUq Tide Sink Packets https://amzn.to/40CPZym Dramamine Chews https://amzn.to/40GyUna Tide To Go https://amzn.to/40qkhmt Travel Purse https://amzn.to/4hN6cqJ Youtube Filming Equipment Insta360 X4 Kit https://amzn.to/4h2tngr Tripod Selfie Stick https://amzn.to/3DVTcAa Camera Clamp https://amzn.to/4gX7zCL Insta360 3M Stick https://amzn.to/3WlrIuc Insta360 Batt Charger https://amzn.to/3E9mUl9 Insta360 X4 Battery https://amzn.to/3DYXBSS Camera Flex Mount https://amzn.to/40mfiTM Neewer Binoculars https://amzn.to/4hTfPDu Neewer Lens Mount https://amzn.to/4iIsx9v Neewer Zoom Lens https://amzn.to/42kADPP
