Acchiardo is a great restaurant in the old town serving local food to locals. When I was in Luzerne it was, sadly, rainy so I didn't get to do this, but I really wanted to take the funicular to the top of one of the Alps.; April 10, 2007 at 2:02 PM

susan said...: i have been to both--lucerne is lovely no matter the weather, but such a nice winter destination. if you go to the south of france, i would suggest you spend at least a day or two in aix-en-provence. it is the most charming place i've found in the world.; April 11, 2007 at 6:52 AM

Ashley said...: Hi There! Lucerne is beautiful...I just spent a day there when travelling around Switzerland but it was easily my favorite part- quaint, romantic, and absolutely breathtaking when you're on the lake looking up at the Alps.; April 11, 2007 at 11:00 AM
KK said...: I've been to Lucerne and it is amazing! I went on a school trip while in college. It was June and it snowed in the mountains. It was so awesome for a bunch of kids from Florida to play in the snow in June. You should definitely go!; April 11, 2007 at 11:27 AM

I love Monaco. Have a drink in the Hotel de Paris, a drink or lunch at the Cafe de Paris and people watch. Just across the street is the Casino, so try your luck! You will love it!

I'm so jealous!; April 11, 2007 at 5:05 PM
