Zurich is a stunningly gorgeous city with a beautifully-preserved old town, endless greenery, wondrous snow-capped mountains, fresh air, and crystal clear lake views. The city's extraordinary museums, churches and galleries, confirm its position as Switzerland's spiritual, if not political, capital. There is also a hip, less conventional side to Zurich. Zuri West, once the industrial section, has become the 'it spot' over the last decade, with loft living, galleries, museums, experimental theater and clubs.
Explore Lake Zurich, Old Town (Altstadt), Museum of Art (Kunsthaus Zurich), Uetliberg Mountain, Zoo Zurich, Lindenhofplatz, Bahnhofstrasse, Grossmunster,
Church of Our Lady (Fraumunster), Rietberg Museum and so much more!
3 nights in Lucerne
Located at the north end of Lake Lucerne within sight of Mount Pilatus and Rigi, Lucerne is a beautiful small city in the heartland of Switzerland. It features many narrow cobblestone streets, covered bridges, frescoed houses, and fountains. The city became a center of Swiss history and legend, and is the setting for the most memorable part of the legend of William Tell who shot an apple off of his son's head. Lucerne is also a great base from which to explore other famous Swiss sites.
Explore the Old Town, walk the medieval wooden covered bridges, hike Mt Rigi or Mt Pilatus, walk the Fortress walls, cruise on the lake by boat, visit the Lion Monument, the Jesuit Church, the many Museums, check out the Glacier Garden, take some pictures at the Bourbaki Panorama, and so much more!
2 nights in Bern
Bern is one of the oldest cities in Europe with origins going back to the 12th century. Its old town is a UNESCO World Heritage site and boasts many museums, theatres, landmarks, cafes, restaurants and shops - not to mention the weekly market (and the lovely Christmas market) - all of which can be easily reached on foot. The Old Town of Bern has one of the longest 'weatherproof' shopping malls in Europe under its almost 4 miles of covered arcades. The medieval atmosphere, with shops in the cellar vaults is unique and charming.
Explore the Old Town (Altstadt), The Paul Klee Museum, Zytglogge (Clock Tower), Bern Cathedral, Gurten Mountain, Bern Historical Museum,
Bundeshaus (Swiss Federal Building), BärenPark, Museum of Fine Arts, The Rose Garden, Einstein Museum, and so much more!
3 nights in Interlaken
A picture-perfect destination nestled between two emerald-colored lakes and snow capped mountains, Interlaken has long been admired as a dream getaway. The town is situated in the heart of Switzerland surrounded by the dramatic Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau Mountains. Many vacationers flock to this charming Swiss resort town because of its ample number of skiing and hiking areas. Winter or summer, you'll find plenty of things to do in and around the city.
Stroll the Old Town, visit Harder Kulm, Höhematte Park, Schynige Platte, Unterseen, Lake Thun, Lake Brienz, the Museum of Tourism, Niederhorn, St. Beatus Cave and Waterfalls, Interlaken Monastery and Castle, Unspunnen Castle, enjoy outdoor sports, and so much more!
3 nights in Geneva
Chic Geneva, the soul of Switzerland's French speaking territory, is home to some of the world's most luxurious and exclusive stores and extravagant restaurants. Filled with parks and promenades, the city becomes a virtual garden in summer. At the heart of the city is the huge Cathedrale St-Pierre, and some of its world-class museums include Musee d'Art et d'Histoire and an impressive gallery of East Asian art. Last but not least, Geneva is home to dozens of international organizations among them the United Nations European headquarters and the International Committee of the Red Cross.
Explore the Old Town, Lake Geneva, Jet d'Eau (Water Jet), Cathedral of Saint-Pierre, Jardin Anglais (English Garden) and Parc de la Grange, Jardin Botanique (Botanical Gardens), Place du Bourg-de-Four, Palace of the Nations, Art and History Museum, Ariana Museum, Quai du Mont-Blanc, and so much more!
<b>Switzerland</b> is a pristine country of lakes, mountains and forests. The best known of the continent's mountain ranges, the Alpine chain (Alps), runs through most of Switzerland and provides the majority of the country's magnificent natural sights. In the summer, towns such as Interlaken become green mountain centers for walking and mountaineering; and there are few places more naturally beautiful in the whole of Europe. Zurich, Geneva, Bern and Lucerne are models of Swiss efficiency. Less busy are the lakeside resorts, including fashionable Montreux on Lake Geneva.
