The Rhine is abounded in myths and legends; folklore that has been passed on for generations, including the story of Lorelei. This enchanting female was betrayed by her sweetheart and spent her days bewitching men. As her punishment, she was sent to a nunnery, however on her way she jumped to her death in the river. Legend has her spirit casting spells on sailors who passed the rock, where a bronze statue sits today. After lunch, your Scenic Space-Ship will dock in the charming town of Rudesheim. Surrounded by steep vineyards that have been cultivating wine for a staggering two millennia, Rudesheim is filled with half-timbered houses lining cobbled streets, quaint shops selling trinkets such as traditional Christmas ornaments and cuckoo clocks, as well as a smattering of wine taverns and open-air beer gardens. ...

    From Bern, travel through the impossibly pretty town of Lucerne. Perched on the edge of the spectacular Lake Lucerne, you'll find exquisite medieval architecture, a 685-year-old wooden footbridge (the oldest in Europe), and glimpses of the majestic Alps in the distance. This afternoon, we arrive in the city of Zurich, the largest in the country and one of the most livable in the world. Here, residents cycle along wide streets, relax in leafy parks, and dine under the stars in open-air restaurants. It's known as a global financial center, but there's also one of Europe's most eclectic cultural scenes, world-class contemporary art, and a fascinating history. Set off on foot this afternoon for a walking tour with a local guide. Zurich is one of the world's great walking cities, with a flat center, many pedestrian-only streets, and historic bridges. Wander along the Bahnhofstrasse, the city's main street that's lined with glamorous boutiques and international flagship stores. Straddling both sides of the Limmat River, Zurich's Old Town is a pleasant jumble of tiny laneways, cobbled squares, and medieval buildings. Don't miss St Peter's Church, where the original 9th-century foundations are still visible beneath the chancel, and the iconic twin towers of the Grossmunster church. Check into your grand hotel in Zurich for an overnight stay. ...
