More tips (1)
Kapellbrücke
Best photos from the next bridge over the Reuss, with the old-town façades behind.
Läderach Weggisgasse
Pricey but worth it; her favourite is milk chocolate with whole caramelized almonds. Try the fresh spreads.
Neues Schloss Privat Hotel Zurich, Autograph Collection
Near the lake, walking distance to the Old Town; art-filled design, and some rooms have a balcony for morning coffee
Pilatus Kulm
Leave extra time on the summit trails: a hike of about 1h15 took them nearly 3 hours because they kept stopping for the views
Storchen Zürich
Riverfront rooms look onto the Limmat; check for the construction works by Rathausbrücke and Grossmünster before booking
Waldhotel by Bürgenstock
A base for exploring rather than staying in: big rooms, top breakfast with Swiss cheeses, close to Lucerne, lakes and Zurich
Zum Königstuhl
Authentic Swiss classics served nonstop through the afternoon (rare in Zurich); order the raclette with potatoes and pickles
Bahnhofstrasse
Luxury boutiques and trams; shops close relatively early, so go shopping early in the day
Aux Merveilleux de Fred
Get the chocolate-chip brioche hot from the oven, even warmer than she had it in Paris.
Bürgenstock Resort Lake Lucerne
The luxury option next to the Waldhotel, an iconic hotel with a glass lobby overlooking Lake Lucerne
Lucerne Old Town
Stroll the Reuss riverside promenade lined with cafés on the water.
Oak Grill Pool & Patio
Order the steak with fries, broccolini and cherry tomatoes; she says everything on the plate was perfect
Stadtkeller
Order the meat fondue: raw beef cooked in hot oil, with fries, bread and lots of sauces.
Jura Blick
Next to the Uetliberg lookout, open since 1923; the cheese plate with a glass of white wine is worth the climb
Pilatus-Bahnen Kriens
The ride from Kriens to the summit takes about 40 minutes with stunning views on the way.
Ralph Lauren Zürich
Shopping · fashion store
Tomlishorn
About 40 min each way along the ridge to Pilatus' highest point; some climbs and exposed sections, wear comfy shoes.
Augustinergasse
Colourful old-town lane right off the shopping street; local florists fill some fountains with roses
Rathaus Luzern
Grab an Aperol Spritz in the sun on the square by the town hall
Art Deco Hotel Montana
Free open jam session every Thursday evening for 20 years; lake view, great with an aperitif
Castellan's
Inside Neues Schloss hotel; they had herb-crusted lamb chops, a meat stew on mash and cocktails
Fraumünster
Come for the Chagall stained-glass windows
Pilatus Railway Alpnachstad
Alternative way up Pilatus: the world's steepest cogwheel railway, climbing gradients of up to 48%
Wienachtsdorf
Christmas markets open 19.11–23.12.26; grab a Glühwein
Wirtstuben Münsterhof
Beautifully decorated for Christmas – worth seeing in December
Zürich HB
See the giant Lindt Christmas tree in the main station during the holiday season

Was covered in scaffolding during her visit
