Thanks for all your info's..

I have made reservation in zurich next to the station and plan to do
my trips based from there. Reading all the above looks like lucerne is
the right place to be and start most of the trips. I am very excited
to visit switzerland. It has always been my dream. Looking forward to
any tips that you people can suggest to make our trip more memorable.
