Two free days in January
I have a railpass which covers Italy, Switzerland and Germany, and I
have two free days: January 3 - 5th. I'm trying to figure out what to do with them. I have to drop my bf off at the airport in Milan for a 7:30am flights on the 3rd, and my flight home leaves Zurich on the 5th at 10:30am. My first thought was to see the Neuschwanstein castle near Munich, but it seems that most trains from Milan (or Zurich, as an intermediary point) go there by way of Austria, and my railpass doesn't include Austria. I tried looking at train schedules that arrive in Zurich by 6:30 (take an overnight from someone else, rather than HAVING to get back to Zurich on the 4th, and get a hotel room), but I guess the train schedules that far in advance are not available yet. We are spending December 25 - 3rd in Italy (Rome and Tuscany) so kinda have that covered. Can you, the good folks of rte make some suggestions? Thanks :) -Holly |

But as that short portion is 26km only you'll probably find that it's not much to worry about. You've to pay for an inexpensive ticket St.Margrethen-Lindau. |

You could spend the day shoping in Milan then take the train up to Lugano then Lucerne or Zurich. Or you could spend two days at a mountain spa. |

Or you could spend two days at a mountain spa.[/color] We started out in Switzerland, so pretty much have that covered already (except for the Romansch-speaking SE canton). I forgot to mention that :) Not a shopper, so Milan is just a drop-off point, to me. I'm just trying to find a good use of the Germany part of my railpass, mostly. Thanks!! -Holly |

Look at [url]www.sbb.ch[/url] You can choose the language at the top line of the homepage. I would recommend taking the Cisalpino from Milan to Brig on the 3rd. From there go to Zermatt and the Matterhorn. On the 4th, travel to Interlaken via Brig and then go on the Brunig Line to Lucerne and stay the night there. Lucerne to Zurich Airport is only about an hour and there are plenty of trains to get you there in time for your flight. JohnT |

Seriously, Germany is a bit of a hike. Why not hang around some of the prettier parts of northern Italy instead? -- --- DFM - [url]http://www.deepfriedmars.com[/url] --- -- |
