Make sure you have a full tank of gas, because Lucerne is worth a detour. Situated 40 miles from Elm, it boasts a few fabulous attractions, such as Chapel Bridge and Swiss Transportation Museum. Zürich (and vicinity) is another destination to keep your eye on. It’s situated just 45 miles away. If you make the journey here, Bahnhofstrasse and Zoo Zurich should be on your to-do list.
