[My Last] Swiss Day Trip

I am planning a day trip this weekend from Zurich, but having trouble deciding where to go. There are so many choices! What is your favorite place in Switzerland which you have visited? Are there any sights that I MUST SEE before I leave this beautiful country? Thanks for any help/advice.

Re: [My Last] Swiss Day Trip

Rigi is very nice especially if you get a boat from Luzern to Weggis, the get the cable car, then the train to the top - I also found walking down towards Arth Goldau was a great way to come down.

Titlis and Engelberg is also a nice day trip but there are generally a lot of tourists there...

Re: [My Last] Swiss Day Trip

An absolute must: Jungfraujoch (providing the weather is good).
