Enjoy all shapes and forms: from chocolate pralines, to truffles, ganaches, drinking chocolate and pastry. When you're not tasting chocolate, perhaps climb the 157 steps to the top of the Cathedral of Saint Pierre's tower to savour the panoramic view of the city and the lake. Explore the lively old town and the Place du Bourg-de-Four, which is the oldest square in the city, and admire the the Jet d’Eau fountain, a 140-metre-high water jet on the edge of Lake Geneva.

Glacier Express from Zermatt to St Moritz

Taking about 8 hours at an average speed of 24mph, curl up in your 1st class seats and gaze at the spectacular views through the panoramic windows. If you're looking to make it even more special, upgrade to Excellence Class for the ultimate VIP experience.

Enjoy breathtaking views of the Swiss Alps, eating lunch on a panoramic terrace, explore the Glacier Cave, venture on the Cliff Walk and ride the Ice Flyer chairlift to the Glacier Park, where you can go snow tubing down the glacier. Alternatives to this tour are a 1st class lunch boat trip, or even just spend the day exploring Lucerne.
