Switzerland – Explore the Best of Europe

Explore the Best of Europe with a Trip to Switzerland

Switzerland has long been a magnet for skiers and lovers of outdoor sports, but there is much more to this beautiful country than its snow-capped mountains.  When you visit Switzerland, you can enjoy the best of the old world and the best of the new.  From Alpine villages that look like they came out of a child’s storybook, to bustling modern cities on the cutting edge of technology, Switzerland is a delight for the senses.

If you have never been to Switzerland before, you might want to start your adventure in Zurich.  Many international airlines fly into Zurich, so it is the natural starting point for your Swiss experience.  Zurich is also a fascinating city in its own right, so you will want to spend plenty of time exploring its wonders.  This cosmopolitan city is home to some 40 museums, and its extensive public transportation network makes getting around a snap.   Whether you travel by bus, train, cable-car or boat, you will see the best Zurich has to offer.

When you are done exploring the cultural offerings that make Zurich so famous, you can spend the night at the local clubs, bars and restaurants.   Zurich is well known for its nightlife, so you can dance the night away and wake refreshed and ready to enjoy the next part of your journey.

The train system in Switzerland is without compare, so hop the train in Zurich and head to Interlanken in the famous Bernese region.   You can enjoy the beauty of nature, take a hike or just relax.

You will want to leave plenty of time for a trip to Jungfrau Aletsch-Bietschhorn.   This famous wonder has been designated as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site.   Jungfraujoch is the highest railway station in all of Europe, and the views from the top are simply spectacular.

When visiting Jungfraujoch, be sure to step out into the snow.   You will see the snow-capped mountains of Switzerland in a whole new way after your trip to this mile high railway station.   You may even get a glimpse of the Aletsch Glacier, the longest in the Alps.

If you love the outdoors, you will want to make time for some skiing.   If you are an experienced skier, there are plenty of challenging mountain slopes to explore.   From the best downhill skiing in the world to miles of cross-country ski trails, you will find it all on a trip to Switzerland.

Even if you have never skied before, you might want to give it a try while you are on your Swiss holiday.   There are gentle slopes that even the most timid newbies will enjoy, and plenty of ski instructors to get you off to a great start.

Whether you want to explore the history of Europe at one of Zurich’s many museums, revel in the art and architecture of the cities or just enjoy the beauty of nature, a trip to Switzerland will give you what you are looking for.   If you have never been to Switzerland before, now is the perfect time to book your European getaway.
