Your Switzerland Vacation Itinerary

Once you’ve settled into your hotel, stroll down the cobblestone streets of Zurich’s Old Town to see some of the city’s significant religious landmarks, like Fraumünster Church and the Grossmünster.

Day 2: Less than an hour’s drive from Zurich is the picturesque city of Lucerne. Rent a set of wheels and cruise south to explore notable sights like Chapel Bridge, the Lion of Lucerne and beautiful Lake Lucerne.

Day 3: Switzerland’s capital, Bern, is as pretty as a postcard and takes less than 90 minutes in the car from Lucerne. Visit the sprawling Bern Bear Park and catch a glimpse of real bears playing on the grassy hill slopes.

Switzerland Information

The natural scenery is incredible and the efficient transportation makes it so easy to get around discovering it all. Every town and city in Switzerland offers it`s own unique character. Central Switzerland is jammed packed with history and culture and the pristine landscapes, gleaming lakes and towering mountaintops are just begging to be explore. This is where you`ll find Central Lucerne , a town straight out of a fairy tale with a magical ambiance that radiates through this town. Brunnen , also located in central Switzerland, is a popular vacation resort situated on the shores of Lake Lucerne boasting breathtaking views. This is an ideal starting point for excursions in the central region of Switzerland.

At the heart of this central region lies Bern, the laid-back city that few realize is Switzerland`s capital.

The best time to visit Switzerland is during the shoulder seasons, as in April to June and September to October. You can enjoy fewer crowds, mild weather, and lower prices. In fact, the mountain resort towns are almost completely dead. In the spring and fall, you might also get the chance to witness cattle processions that wind through alpine villages. Tourists descend into Switzerland in the summer months to soak up the sunshine and wildflowers that are blooming in the countryside. The snow also typically thaws so you`ll have the chance to hike trails that are often covered. Most mountain resorts open up again but at much higher prices. Winter brings tourist with the love of snow sports. Prices at the slopes don`t typically drop this time of year, but if you are visiting anywhere else in the country you will typically save on hotels and get to enjoy a winter wonderland. For more information on when to go, check out Best Time to Visit Switzerland .

We recommend 7-10 days based on what you want to see and do. We offer flexible vacation packages so you can select your number of nights in each city, desired hotel and activities. We suggest a minimum of 3 nights in larger cities.

By Car: Public transport in Switzerland is fantastic, but a car has its advantages: You can save time reaching smaller villages and experience the thrill of winding up and down an Alpine pass, stopping for photos or picnics whenever you like. Switzerland`s roads are generally excellent and marked by clear. Drivers are well trained. You may only need a rubber bone when driving sharply curving, narrow, steep mountain roads, with impatient locals at your rear; or in cities, where trams and bicycles seem to whoosh into streets out of nowhere. One more note of caution: You`ll never want to drive into the mountains if there`s any chance of snow unless you have proper winter tires or chains. In some areas, chains are required, which will be indicated by a blue road sign with a picture of a tire in chains; the same sign with a red slash tells you when you exit that zone. Attempting to drive down an icy mountain with summer tires can be incredibly dangerous (and you may not be covered by insurance). Most North American rental agencies have offices in the major communities of Switzerland. You`ll save a fair amount of money if you make these arrangements before departing for Europe. You`ll also save a lot of money if you can drive a stick shift rather than an automatic. To rent a car in Switzerland, you generally must be at least 20 years old; if you are not yet 25 years old, plan to pay a higher rate. Your North American driver`s license is all that is needed, but you’ll need an international driver`s license if you drive into neighboring countries. Those are fairly inexpensive and can be obtained at your AAA office before departing. For more information, check out Driving in Switzerland . By Train: Train travel is by far the best way to travel in Switzerland; it’s economical and popular with both locals and tourists. The stations are clean and equipped with a variety of services, while the trains themselves are punctual, equally clean and comfortable. Although smoking is allowed in many public places in Switzerland, the trains are smoke-free. Unless you have extremely unusual circumstances that require private vehicles, get on the train and experience life as the locals do. You`ll be exposed to spectacular scenery and a way of life for most Europeans. Two of the world`s most scenic train routes are the Glacier Express and the Bernina Express , which cross through the rugged mountain landscapes, offering up a vision of Switzerland that just can`t be found elsewhere. This is where you might want to splurge and buy seats in the observation cars for unobstructed view of the Alps. First-class cars are slightly more spacious and provide a better view on the upper level, but second-class tickets will save you quite a bit of money. If you’re traveling with family, children under 16 travel for free in the company of an adult, but be sure to purchase the family tickets. The best investment any independent traveler to Switzerland can make is the Swiss Pass. In addition to train travel all over the country, this valuable pass includes intercity bus routes, ferry boats on many lakes, tour boats on many rivers and admission to multiple museums around the country. Discounts are offered on select cog railways and funiculars, as well as some special events and festivals.

The currency of Switzerland is the Swiss franc, usually indicated as CHF or SFr. While Switzerland is not part of the European Union and thus is not obliged to convert to the Euro, many prices are nonetheless indicated in euros so that visitors may compare prices. Euros are accepted in many places, but you will most likely receive francs in return. US dollars are not accepted.

Switzerland is the world’s only country where there are four national languages. These include French, Rumantsch, German and Italian. English may be spoken at your hotel and in the tourist areas, but not everywhere. We suggest you get a good English-German guidebook and familiarize yourself with common phrases such as hello, goodbye, excuse me and numbers 1-10.

It all depends on what you'd like to do. If you're into skiing and want to save money, a package in February of March could work out just fine. If you're headed to Geneva or Zurich for a city break, May and June are great times to go, and the early fall is prime hiking season in most lower Alpine valleys.

Where should you stay in Switzerland during your vacation?

For any vacation type in switzerland:.

It doesn't matter whether you travel as a family, alone or as a couple, the Hotel Krebs in Interlaken will be ideal. It's well situated for skiing or summer hikes, while a range of bars and restaurants caters for evening entertainment. Airport shuttles from Zurich take around two hours.

For visitors to Geneva, nowhere beats the Beau Rivage. Blessed with a beautiful location overlooking the lake, it's a short walk from attractions like Saint-Pierre Cathedral and is well-equipped with amenities to enhance anyone's stay. Airport taxis take just 10-15 mins.

For family vacations in Switzerland:

Geneva's Grand Hotel Kempinski is among the city's elite family hotels, with a Sunday children's club taking the pressure off parents, a wellness spa and pool. And it's all around 15 mins from Geneva airport (or 25 mins by bus).

If you're arranging a family ski trip to Zermatt, the Grand Hotel Zermatthof will fit the bill. A classic continental ski lodge, it provides relaxing massages, has three restaurants, an indoor pool and staff who are experts at handling kids. The taxi from Geneva Airport takes about 4 hours.

The Hotel d'Angleterre is a wonderful boutique hotel in Geneva where the rooms are furnished with little touches like bathrobes, extra-soft pillows and iPod docks - creating an intimate, romantic atmosphere. It's handily located in the city center, around 15 mins by taxi from the airport.

The Gstaad Palace is perfect for skiing escapes with the one you love. Located at the base of a stupendously beautiful valley, it has 5 restaurants, a pool and spa which specializes in aromatherapy sessions - ideal for recovering from a day on the slopes. The drive from Geneva takes 2 hours.

The best of Switzerland unlocked for you

Experience Switzerland differently. Enjoy one-of-a-kind experiences and uncover local secrets when our friends across the country open their doors to you. Here’s just a sample of the rich experiences you can expect.

0:00 / 0:00

Want to explore a Swiss mountain by cable car?

Want to explore Lake Geneva by boat?

Cruise Lake Geneva

On a sunny day, there’s no better way to tour Switzerland than by water. Gaze at the country from its largest lake and learn something new about its shores, choosing a historic paddle boat, passenger ferry or cocktail-sipping sunset cruise.

Discover the 15th-century vineyards of Cave Champ de Clos

The Conne family have been producing wine for centuries in the heart of the UNESCO heritage region of Lavaux. Be hypnotized by rows of terraced vineyards then retire to the stone cellar to taste the vintages they have produced.

Take a horse carriage ride through the Alps and Rosegg Valley

The alps are home to an endlessly romantic trail that can be taken on horse carriage ride. Rug up in blankets for this fairytale experience through alpine forests, arriving at a destination of snow capped mountains and an impressive glacier. The kind of views imagined when dreaming up a Switzerland trip.

Ride up to Stans by Switzerland's oldest mountain railway

Start in Lucerne and travel along tracks from the 1890s, watching villages and views pass by in the window. With wildflower meadows in the summer and snow dusted trees in winter, you will unwind as you wind around the mountains for 30 minutes before reaching the top.

Travel to the heart of Switzerland, Interlaken

The unassuming town of Interlaken is the perfect base to connect with the soul of Switzerland. Explore over 700 hikes which roam into the mountains from your doorstep, with charming isolated villages found sitting between them.

Our top 5 things to do in Switzerland

We'll take you through the pristine natural beauty of this country, with a trip that's filled with moments of awe. Lakes, grapevines and alpine forests prove it's not just the hills that are alive in Switzerland.

Swiss National Museum

There is a reason this is Switzerland's most frequently visited museum of cultural history. Inside, you will immerse in the past and present through some 840,000 objects. From bronze Age bowls to silver knight’s armor, nowhere else will deliver such a rich and comprehensive insight into the Swiss.

Lake Geneva

Charlie Chaplin museum

The property where Charlie Chaplin spent his last years provides an intimate glimpse into the iconic entertainer's life and work. Be moved by a walk through the vast estate, where you will marvel at his original bowler hat and boots, hear tales from friends and touch painstakingly replicated movie sets.

Zentrum Paul Klee

The namesake of this museum is one of the 20th century's most important artists. Step into the space to quietly take in his artworks, you might find yourself lost in the famous cubism inspired 'Insula dulcamara' or colorful jigsaw that the German-Swiss genius was most famous for.

Best museums in Switzerland

There's more to this landlocked country than army knives and chocolate. With Trafalgar, you will gain a deeper understanding of Switzerland through these must-visit museums.

Once a farmers’ breakfast, Rösti is now a plate popular amongst the Swiss. One bite into this crisp baked potato and you will be hooked. Luckily, the country's many regions boast their own versions, offering an excuse to sample many during your tour of Switzerland.

There is more to this classic fare than dipping bread into a pot of melted cheese. It’s a sacred pastime. To the Swiss, fresh bread and bubbling creamy Gruyere is incomplete without one vital ingredient: good company. Indulge in authentic fondue in Switzerland in the company of new friends.

Swiss chocolate

Chocolate aficionados will find no shortage of pleasure in the smooth chocolate of Switzerland. The birthplace of Lindt, Toblerone, Mövenpick and more, a banquet of cocoa will be enjoyed here in the name of culture.

Best food in Switzerland

Baked potato, melted cheese and genuine chocolate. The culinary delights of Switzerland were designed with only the pleasure of taste in mind, and it's an indulgence Trafalgar is only too happy to share with you.

What to pack for Switzerland

Even in summer, layers are vital in Switzerland. Temperatures differ throughout through the country and can get particularly crisp in the higher mountains.

A good quality camera

In a place known for pinch me moments, it would be remiss to forget something more than just a smartphone to capture them all.

Swiss Francs

Switzerland may be at the core of Europe, but this country abandoned the Euro many years ago. Though you can still use them in some larger establishments, but it's better to arm yourself with plenty of Francs so you're never caught short.

A phrasebook

A phrasebook with the national languages of German, French and Italian is essential on a tour of Switzerland. If you really can’t spare the space, download them to your Google Translate app offline.

Walking shoes

If your trip is likely to see you traversing the dynamic landscapes of Switzerland, a pair of sturdy walking shoes or hiking boots should be on the packing list.

The mountain resort town St. Moritz beckons with its chic boutiques and cable cars.

Visit Ticino, where Italian is the official language, and stroll along the gentle shores of the Swiss side of Lake Maggiore. Take a delightful short on the lake boat trip while enjoying a Ticino tour to see the gorgeous Isola Bella, famous for its gardens and stunning white peacocks.

Central Switzerland & Lucerne

Central Switzerland is a great place to start your Switzerland vacation, as you can easily get to Lucerne from Zurich. Travelers on Central Switzerland tours want to explore this quaint town, see the melancholic Lion Monument, cross the covered Chapel Bridge, and take a walk nearby Pilatus.

Zermatt in the summertime offers many leisure possibilities: try swimming, hiking, or spending a whole day relaxing in the fresh Alpine surroundings.

3. Bircher Muesli

This Swiss-German classic has taken off worldwide as a breakfast food, although it was originally created for hospital patients by a Swiss physician. Commonly eaten in the evening in southern Switzerland, it's a nutritious mix of oats, fruits, and seeds.

This brioche-like, plaited bread is a traditional Sunday morning treat in Switzerland. Dating back to the 15th century, this delicious bread can be found in bakeries all over Switzerland, especially on Sundays.

Making hundreds of varieties of cheese, Switzerland is one of the best places in the world to indulge in a dose of calcium. Whether it's a chunk of hard Gruyere, a slice of Emmental, or a bit of fruity Appenzeller, Switzerland has enough cheese shops to satisfy everyone.

Best time for travel switzerland: hidden trails & majestic peaks.

While just about any month is great to visit Switzerland, there are a few prime times of the year for the Switzerland: Hidden Trails & Majestic Peaks tour. Here are some recommendations from our destination experts.

Best time to visit Switzerland

Switzerland is one of the best places to visit in Europe. However, summarizing this place to have only one best time to visit is definitely foolish. Depending on the purpose of your visit, the season you like, the places you have planned to visit, the things you intend to do, the budget you have allotted and the places you want to stay, you need to customize your best time to enjoy your Switzerland vacation.

Summer Season - Switzerland in July to August

The Summer Season in Switzerland is also known as the peak Season as most tourists flood into the country. And they do have a reason for it - the climate is pleasant and warm, making it the perfect time for sightseeing and beautiful landscapes. Even though the snow thaws during this time, there will be snow trails in the higher mountain regions suitable for trekking. This is the time of the year where the mountain resorts are opened and you can have a pleasant stay in one of the beautiful resorts lying amidst the valleys. However, the prices are high during this season due to the high demand. Ultimately, if you love a good trek and enjoy the floral marvel of the mountains without getting affected by the snow, then this is the best time to visit Switzerland. The average temperature during this season is around 25-28°C with an average rainfall of around 75-150 mm.

Spring Season - Switzerland in April to June

Spring Season is a good season to visit Switzerland as the weather is not too cold but there is light snowfall enabling you to see what a snow marvel Switzerland is. It is right between the two peak seasons - the skiing season and the summer season and thus there will be less crowd during this season. This also makes the travel and accommodation costs cheaper. It is also a wet season but due to the clear path as the snow is absent, it makes a perfect time for hiking. It is also one of the best times to have scenic train rides across the country. Some of the best places to visit during this season are Lake Lugano, Lake Maggiore, and Ronco Sopra Ascona. The average temperature during this season is 15 – 22° C with an average rainfall of 140 – 170 mm.

Fall Season - Switzerland in September to October

It is also a shoulder season making travel less expensive than also the peak season. The crowd during this time is less and you can freely explore and take rides in cable rides, trains, and much more. The days are short during the season with slightly warmer temperatures during the day. This is also the perfect season for wine tasting as the grapes are harvested during this time. While you won’t be able to travel to the higher regions as the passes are closed in October, you can visit the beauty of mountains from the scenic shores of the Lakes. It is also an ideal time for paragliding and the best place to experience it is at Lake Brienz or Lake Thun. Interlaken is a must-visit during this season as the snow capped mountains are at its best spectacle during the months of September to October. The average temperature during the fall season in Switzerland is 14 – 24° C with a rainfall of 38 – 53 mm.

Winter Season - Switzerland in November to March

Winter is a mix of both peak and shoulder season in Switzerland. While the resorts are closed with the country being filled with snow, the lakes turn into ice.

Christmas is the time where a lot of people with their families travel to Switzerland to have a fun time in the snow-laden mountains. Some of the must-visit experiences are Monte Rosa, Matterhorn, Gornergrat Railway, or the Klein Matterhorn Cable Car. The average temperature during this season is 5 – 10° C with rainfall of 25 – 195 mm.

What are the best historical tours to Switzerland?

Swiss delight (9 days), best of switzerland.

Choosing to book a tour in Switzerland isn't a must, yet it brings forth numerous advantages. With all-inclusive tour packages, your lodging, transport, itineraries, and activities are curated by expert trip planners with years of experience. This means you can forgo the hassle of meticulous planning and focus solely on relishing the experiences of the trip. Additionally, these tours frequently serve as a wonderful platform to forge connections and build lasting friendships with fellow adventurers.

Tours are sometimes cheaper than traveling independently in Switzerland depending on the tour's destinations, level of luxury, and length. Of course, every tour is different, and every independent trip is different, too. Tour providers will usually package everything together at a competitive price which is often comparable to an independent trip of the same level of luxury. The average cost of a tour in Switzerland is $414 per day, and many tours are actually well below this average. Tours in Switzerland range in price from $1,210 to $7,732. When comparing the costs to independent travel in Switzerland, keep in mind that most guided organized tour packages will include accommodations, transportation, knowledgeable guides, food, entrance tickets, and more. So, while it's hard to compare the differences between tours and independent travel for every single person, make sure you know what's included in a tour package before comparing the price to an independently planned trip, and also make sure that you've thoroughly researched the costs of independent travel in Switzerland as well.

Group Tours vs. Independent Travel in Switzerland

The choice between an organized tour package and independent travel can pose a dilemma for many travelers. However, in Switzerland during 2024 or 2025, the availability of attractive deals and sales makes organized tour packages an appealing option. These packages offer all-inclusive features, such as accommodations, transportation, entry tickets, meals, and other essential travel requirements, ensuring exceptional value. Furthermore, the presence of knowledgeable guides adds depth to the travel experience, coupled with the convenience of a pre-arranged itinerary. Conversely, independent travel provides the freedom to have more control and flexibility over one's travel plans, allowing for adjustments to schedules and budgets. It also opens doors to immersing oneself in local cultures and exploring off-the-beaten-path destinations that may not be part of organized tours.

What are the benefits of a package tour to Switzerland?

There are countless benefits to traveling with a tour. One of the greatest advantages is the convenience of having every detail taken care of for you. From transportation to accommodations and activities, everything is meticulously arranged, allowing you to relax and fully immerse yourself in the destination. This means you won't have to worry about finding suitable accommodations, planning your route, or potentially missing out on any must-see sights. Moreover, most tour prices are all-inclusive, providing transparency and ensuring you know the total cost of your trip in advance. Tour benefits include

comfortable amenities
meeting other like-minded travelers
not having to plan
reliable service and schedule
fixed budget
knowledgeable guides
eliminating risks

What are the benefits of independent travel in Switzerland?

Independent travel offers a range of advantages, including freedom, control, and flexibility. By embarking on your own journey, you have the ability to choose your accommodations, explore the sights that interest you, dine at your preferred times, and navigate the destination in your preferred manner. Taking charge of these decisions also grants you greater control over your expenses, schedule, planned activities, and desired level of comfort during your travels. Other benefits include:

flexible schedules
flexible budget
in-depth cultural opportunities
off-the-beaten-path destinations

You should plan to book your tour to Switzerland at least a few months in advance, if not more. Many people book their tours up to a year in advance, but in our experience, around 6 to 9 months ahead of the departure date is usually sufficient. Many tours fill up well in advance, so booking early ensures that you have a place on the trip. Also, the price of some tours can be significantly cheaper if you book early, as tour companies often provide early booking sales and discounted prices. On the other hand, sometimes tour companies offer last-minute discounts for tours that are not full, but waiting for a last-minute discount runs the risk of not having a spot on a fully booked tour.

In Switzerland, tours can have a range of group sizes, catering to anywhere from 2 to 50 individuals. On average, a tour comprises 18 participants. It is worth mentioning that the size of the tour does not necessarily dictate its quality or cost.

The average length of organized tour packages to Switzerland is about 7 days, which is a suitable timeframe for most visitors. Tours in Switzerland can span from 4 to 15 days, or sometimes longer. While longer tours may come with a higher price, the cost per day tends to decrease. Furthermore, longer tours allow for a more comprehensive exploration of various destinations, offering better value for money.

Where do group tours go in Switzerland?

Although Switzerland is large with many different places to visit, tours often go to Lucerne, Zurich, Interlaken, Geneva, Zermatt, Montreux, Bern, and Gruyeres.

What tour and travel companies offer packages to Switzerland?

The most popular tour companies offering trips in Switzerland are WiseYatra , Exodus Travels , UTracks , Agate Travel , and Omega Tours . While some are large international operators, others are smaller and only operate in the country or in local areas. Larger companies often have solid reputations, provide consistent service, and rarely cancel trips. Smaller companies can also provide excellent service while also giving you a local perspective and in-depth knowledge of the destinations. All of these companies have positive reviews from previous guests, too.

What is the best tour company offering trips to Switzerland?

Switzerland's top-rated tour provider is WiseYatra . Their exceptional service and popular itineraries have garnered a multitude of glowing reviews from delighted past participants.

Visit Switzerland for $4,000 — including airfare out of SLC

By dick jensen & alan mckay tours | posted - april 8, 2024 at 9:49 a.m., (dick jensen & alan mckay tours).

Estimated read time: 4-5 minutes

Ah, Switzerland. It's the European country that brought you world-renowned chocolates, cheeses, fairy tales, army knives and watches. It offers beautiful landscapes with towering alpine mountains and pristine, otherworldly lakes.

The only thing keeping you from crossing this particular location off your bucket list is probably the price. Unfortunately, for all of its many positive attributes, cheap travel and affordability isn't one of them.

But what if you could take care of lodging, transportation, a daily guided itinerary full of must-see sites and activities and roundtrip airfare all for one reasonable, surprisingly affordable price? That's the benefit of traveling with Dick Jensen and Alan McKay Tours — and they've got a Switzerland tour coming up this fall that you won't want to miss.

Here's everything you need to know.

Your tour cost includes airfare out of Salt Lake

Don't let expensive travel costs stop you from visiting some of the greatest, most beautiful sights in the world. With the right tour group, you can make all your adventuring dreams come true. And you'll be hard-pressed to find a more affordable way to travel than with Dick Jensen and Alan McKay Tours . Their exceptional travel packages offer the biggest bang for your buck.

Here's how they save you money: The agency purchases blocks of airfare 11 months before the departure date to ensure the best deal on international airfare. Their group contracts also save people a lot of money — and since it's a family-run business with low overhead and many automated processes, they pass the savings on to you!

The Switzerland tour is $3,999 per person when you travel with a companion — and, as mentioned previously, that includes airfare out of Salt Lake on Delta Airlines!

Here's everything else that's covered with that price:

Airport transfers
Accommodations
Activities and tours listed on the itinerary
Private transportation
Local tour guides

If you were to price each of those things out individually with airfare on top, you'd quickly realize just what a bargain this deal is. Plus, consider how much more relaxed you'll be knowing that someone else has taken care of all of the planning and coordinating. All you have to do is sit back, relax and enjoy an unforgettable trip.

Here's what's on the itinerary

Speaking of making plans, you'll want to mark your calendar for Sept. 25 to Oct. 3. That's the next chance you'll get to take the Dick Jensen and Alan McKay Tours' Switzerland tour — and spaces are on sale now.

In between that first and last day, here are a few of the other activities you'll enjoy in one of Europe's most picturesque countries:

Tour the Lindt Chocolate Museum and Factory
Take a walking tour of Lucerne
Enjoy breathtaking scenery from the Grindelwald First Gondola
Take a train to the Top of Europe (Jungfraujoch)
Visit Trummelbach Falls
Cruise on Lake Thun
See the Bundeshaus, Zytglogge Clock Tower and Old Town in Bern
Visit the Gruyeres Cheese Factory
Experience panoramic views of the Matterhorn

But this list barely scratches the surface. To see the full itinerary, visit djamtours.com/switzerland .

Refer a friend and save even more

In addition to their excellent prices, Dick Jensen and Alan McKay Tours offers a referral program to help you save even more money. For every referral from you that books with them, you get $100 and your referrals get $50 off the price as well. And you don't have to go on the trip to get your $100 reward! Visit the referrals page for more information.

Save a spot on the next available Iceland tour

Remember — the next available Switzerland tour will be Sept. 25 through Oct. 3, but don't wait to secure your spot! The April and early September tours have already sold out, so it's important to act fast before the tour fills up.

In the meantime, you can browse the list of other upcoming trips Dick Jensen and Alan McKay Tours offers. In addition to Switzerland, the agency also offers expertly guided tours through Europe, Africa, Asia, the Americas, the Pacific, the Middle East and even Antarctica. Visit their website to view upcoming travel itineraries and plan that next great trip today.

Why Millennials and Gen Zers Are Flocking to Package Tours

Package tours have long been considered the domain of the middle-aged and elderly. However, package tours have recently become popular as a new travel method among Gen Z. Let’s take a closer look at package tours.

① Sold-Out Package Tours

Recently, HanaTour released a package tour to the USA on a first-come, first-served basis. It sold out within three hours, with 70% of the reservations made by those in their 20s and 30s. This product was a trip with basketball expert commentator Jo Hyun il.

Read more: 5 Scenic Spots to Catch Cherry Blossoms in Hokkaido

The travel itinerary included watching a US professional basketball game with commentator Jo, which drew significant interest from basketball fans and led to the package tour being sold out.

HanaTour announced that last year, there was a significant increase in package tour participation among the 20-30 age group. A HanaTour representative mentioned, “Considering that the main customers of package products were previously middle-aged, this increase is exceptional.” This trend is common across various travel agencies.

② Products Featuring Influencers

Package tours’ biggest disadvantage is their fixed schedules, which can limit freedom. The fatigue from visiting unwanted shopping centers also contributed to this. However, as the style of package tours evolves, they are gaining interest from younger generations.

Package tours are convenient because travel agencies handle all the scheduling and transportation, leaving customers with nothing to worry about. This is one of the reasons why older adults prefer package tours.

However, recently released package tours offer convenience and allow participants to experience unique programs that would be hard to encounter on independent travels. Travel agencies have been launching package tour products featuring influencers, which have sold out.

Last year, HanaTour launched ‘YemiTour’ in collaboration with the domestic travel community media Travel Crazy. This was an 8-night, 9-day hiking trip in Kyrgyzstan with tour expert and actor/model Paul Gil as the host. ModuTour also released a Hong Kong concept tour with travel essayist and influencer travel_bellauri, 2roooon, which sold out within 30 seconds of launching, with 200 people reserving spots.

Various package tours have been launched, including overseas golf trips with a golf YouTuber, a Spanish music festival with a pop music YouTuber, and a trip to Mongolia with a travel writer.

The Jeju Tourism Organization also conducted family tours with famous influencers. A Jeju fam tour video with famous Taiwanese YouTuber Chia Akka reached 1.9 million views on YouTube. Following the popularity of this trip, Taiwanese travel agencies launched a Jeju tourism product following the same course Chia Akka traveled, which was well-received among the young Taiwanese audience.

③ Generation -Specific Packages

As interest in package tours among the 2030 generation has increased, the travel industry has launched products specifically for this age group. These products allow people of the same age group to travel together, a departure from the traditional package tour that mixes various age groups. Organizing trips exclusively for the younger generation has resonated well with them.

The Kyowon Group’s Travel Easy launched a travel product featuring a professional photographer to take photos during the trip. This generation, active on social media, showed interest in having pictures, videos, and short forms taken for them. The product was popular because it provided photos suitable for social media.

Yellow Balloon launched a package exclusively for the MZ generation, composed only of travel courses preferred by the younger crowd. The package even guaranteed free time, leading to high satisfaction among purchasers.

Last year, the proportion of reservations from the 20s and 30s for Hana Tour’s package tours surged to over 30% of the total, nearly double compared to 2019. Indeed, the younger generation is showing a positive response to package tours.

Solar eclipse maps showed 2024 totality path, peak times and how much of the eclipse people could see across the U.S.

By Aliza Chasan

Updated on: April 9, 2024 / 5:00 AM EDT / CBS News

A total solar eclipse crossed North America Monday with parts of 15 U.S. states within the path of totality. Maps showed where and when astronomy fans could see the big event as skies darkened in the middle of the day Monday, April 8.

The total eclipse first appeared along Mexico's Pacific Coast at around 11:07 a.m. PDT, then traveled across a swath of the U.S., from Texas to Maine, and into Canada.

About 31.6 million people live in the path of totality , the area where the moon fully blocked out the sun , according to NASA. The path ranged between 108 and 122 miles wide. An additional 150 million people live within 200 miles of the path of totality.

Solar eclipse path of totality map for 2024

United states map showing the path of the 2024 solar eclipse and specific regions of what the eclipse duration will be.

The total solar eclipse started over the Pacific Ocean, and the first location in continental North America that experienced totality was Mexico's Pacific Coast, around 11:07 a.m. PDT, according to NASA. From there, the path continued into Texas, crossing more than a dozen states before the eclipse enters Canada in southern Ontario. The eclipse exited continental North America at around 5:16 p.m. NDT from Newfoundland, Canada.

The path of totality included portions of the following states:

Pennsylvania
New Hampshire

Small parts of Tennessee and Michigan also experienced the total solar eclipse.

Several major cities across the U.S. were included in the eclipse's path of totality, while many others saw a partial eclipse. These were some of the best major cities for eclipse viewing — though the weather was a factor :

San Antonio, Texas (partially under the path)
Austin, Texas
Waco, Texas
Dallas, Texas
Little Rock, Arkansas
Indianapolis, Indiana
Dayton, Ohio
Cleveland, Ohio
Buffalo, New York
Rochester, New York
Syracuse, New York
Burlington, Vermont

Map of when the solar eclipse reached totality across its path

The eclipse began in the U.S. as a partial eclipse beginning at 12:06 p.m. CDT near Eagle Pass, Texas, before progressing to totality by about 1:27 p.m. CDT and then moving along its path to the northeast over the following few hours.

NASA shared times for several cities in the path of totality across the U.S. People could have also checked their ZIP code on NASA's map to see when the eclipse was to reach them if they were on, or near, the path of totality — or if they saw a partial eclipse instead.

How much of the eclipse did people see if they live outside the totality path?

While the April 8 eclipse covered a wide swath of the U.S., outside the path of totality observers may have spotted a partial eclipse, where the moon covers some, but not all, of the sun, according to NASA. The closer they were to the path of totality, the larger the portion of the sun that was hidden.

NASA allowed viewers to input a ZIP code and see how much of the sun was to be covered in their locations.

Could there be cloud cover be during the solar eclipse?

Some areas along the path of totality had a higher likelihood of cloud cover that could interfere with viewing the eclipse. Here is a map showing the historical trends in cloud cover this time of year.

You could have checked the latest forecast for your location with our partners at The Weather Channel .

United States map showing the percent of cloud cover in various regions of the eclipse path on April 8. The lakeshore region will be primarily affected.

Where did the solar eclipse reach totality for the longest?

Eclipse viewers near Torreón, Mexico, got to experience totality for the longest. Totality there lasted 4 minutes, 28 seconds, according to NASA.

Most places along the centerline of the path of totality saw a totality duration of between 3.5 and 4 minutes, according to NASA. Some places in the U.S. came close to the maximum; Kerrville, Texas, had a totality duration of 4 minutes, 24 seconds.

What is the path of totality for the 2044 solar eclipse?

The next total solar eclipse that will be visible from the contiguous U.S. will be on Aug. 23, 2044.

Astronomy fans in the U.S. will have far fewer opportunities to see the 2044 eclipse they had on April 8. NASA has not yet made maps available for the 2044 eclipse but, according to The Planetary Society , the path of totality will only touch three states.

The 2024 eclipse will start in Greenland, pass over Canada and end as the sun sets in Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota, according to the Planetary Society.
