Luzerne Vs. Interlaken?

Question

So in the midst of my europe tour, I have 2 days in Switzerland which I really could not decide on. Where would I be able to catch a glimpse of the alps at its best? Luzerne or Interlaken, and due to a rather tight budget, most likely we will not be taking a train to the jungfrauch or any other peaks, or ski, or paraglide. We'll just take a lazy stroll in the city, enjoy ourselves a little. Where to do this best? Luzerne? or Interlaken?

---> I know some people are going to add lame comments to this question, don't even bother to waste yours and my time!

Answer 1

Interlaken is expensive, crowded, and tourisity.

Luzerne is the better of the two.  

If I could recommend another place....Gyron-super small town, and you can get there by train.  There is a great hostel there called the backpackers hostel.  It is CLEAN, COZY, INEXPENSIVE, with many activities ranging from: wine tasting, theraml baths, climbing, and skiing.  We were going to stay 2 days and ended up there for 2 weeks.  It was by far the best hostel in Suise.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Interlaken is near Grindelwald, Murren and other mountain villiages

Answer 4

Luzerne! The lake is awesome, old town also fantastic.

Interlaken is less stunning than luzerne, not bad too if you have two days there, you can visit places like Mt Jungfrau.

The Alps best view is Saas Fee

Enjoy your holiday!

Answer 5

Lucerne is a cool tourist city. Has old bridges, stone lions, neat museums, painted buildings, city walls, and a gorgeous lake.

Interlaken is an important train junction.

The alps look lovely from the lake of Lucerne. They just look weird from Interlaken.

Any other town on the Brienz or Thun lakes would be a better choice than Interlaken.
