Lucerne, Switzerland + Add a trip

The restaurant Zunfthaus Pfistern has a Swiss focused variety of good food in an ancient building with modern moods & service. They also have a balcony which seems to be packed on sunny days, overlooking the river. http://www.zunfthaus-zu-pfistern.ch/

"Brasserie Flora" ( Seidenhofstrasse 5 ) - an excellent restaurant, absolutely romantic and delicious at the same time !

Red is a magical place to eat out, the food is stunning (at the KKL concert hall next to the main train station). Also, Bar 58 - small place, but fun to have a drink, good music. For shopping, you can't beat Globus (and there's a great lunch place on the top floor). For lunch, head to Manora - during the warmer months they have a superb rooftop patio that offers an amazing view.
