This small town in the center of Switzerland has long been an important link to cities throughout the country, as far back as the 13th century when the first track across the Gotthard Pass was created. It’s a scenic village and was also an important harbor on Lake Lucrne. This is a postcard-perfect spot to catch a boat to Lucerne, part of the train-and-boat combination of the Wilhelm Tell Express, a journey that follows the route of the Swiss national hero. The train follows the first railroad tracks to be cut through the Alps to Flüelen, where you board the ferry into Lucerne. Don’t miss the historic Tellsplatte rocks, from which Wilhelm Tell leapt while making his escape as he was ferried across the lake.
