Parco San Marco Lifestyle Beach Resort****
Enjoy the unique resort on Lake Lugano - relax on the sunbathing lawn above the resort in a hammock or directly on the lake. Take a boat or bike trip to Porlezza or Lugano or go to Menaggio on Lake Como - it's easy to reach by regional bus. Stroll along the fashionable lakeside promenade and discover the historic old town. And that's not all: thanks to the public boat service, it is possible to reach other popular places on Lake Como (such as Bellagio and Varenna) in 15-30 minutes.
For this evening, you are free to have dinner wherever you like: Be it on the lake of Como if you decide to make an excursion – or maybe at the resort in one of 4 different delicious restaurants.
After breakfast at Hotel Parco San Marco, we have ordered you a taxi to bring you to Lugano where you will board the Gotthard Panorama Express.
Say goodbye to the palm trees and the varied mediterranean landscape. The train continues along the world-famous and historic Gotthard route. Crossing the Gotthard Tunnel which opened in 1882, you will hear exciting stories about the unique Gotthard region. You will see the church at Wassen three times, which has achieved world fame thanks to the bold railroad layout with its many helical tunnels. And on goes your journey through the mighty Reuss Valley in Uri to Flüelen, where you will change to the historic, more than 100 years old steam boat on Lake Lucerne. You will cruise the lake and will see the monumental central Swiss mountains Pilatus and Rigi, the Rütli (the "birthplace" of Switzerland, where the Swiss Confederation was sealed in 1291 with the Rütli Oath), the Tells Platte, where, according to legend and the story by Friedrich Schiller, the Swiss national hero jumped to freedom from the ship of the tyrant, the Habsburg bailiff Gessler.
Welcome to Lucerne!
Enjoy a hearty breakfast buffet to say goodbye - with a glass of champagne, of course. We wish you all the best and a pleasant journey home!
