SWITZERLAND TRAVEL GUIDE

If you have been to Switzerland before, then you probably already know that this
incredible country always leaves you wanting to return. It’s just so incredibly
beautiful!

If this is your first time planning a trip to Switzerland, don’t make the
mistake of just visiting the cities and thinking that you saw the best. There is
so much more to see and do in Switzerland! Visiting just a few bigger cities (no
matter how beautiful) doesn’t do this country justice. The same with the most
popular mountain destinations – they are well worth more than a day!

And while it might be tempting to see ‘everything’ on your first short trip,
often, you’ll have a much more enjoyable trip if you just choose a few areas and
explore them a bit deeper.

Switzerland is one of our absolute favorite countries in the world. Since we
live in Belgium, it’s not that far away for us, so we visit Switzerland very
often. Usually at least twice a year – hiking in summer and skiing in winter. In
this guide, we feature just a few of our favorite places in Switzerland – the
ones we visited most recently and found the time to write about…

If you don’t find the info you are looking for, you can always leave a reply on
one of our guides and we might be able to help you out with some advice. We
haven’t been everywhere (that would be absolutely impossible), but we have spent
a lot of time in various destinations all over the country and know many areas
quite well.

GETTING AROUND

If you are just visiting the Swiss cities and several of the most popular
mountain destinations, you do not really need a car. You can easily visit all
the most popular places in Switzerland by train. The most popular option is the
Swiss Travel Pass which includes unlimited travel on trains, public buses, and
boats.

Here can find our complete guide with all the info about the Swiss Travel Pass.
And you can buy the pass here.

However, if you want to get a bit off the beaten path and explore more places in
a short time, having a car will often be easier and not always more expensive.
Also, there are so many amazing areas in the mountains that would be very
difficult to see without a car. Sometimes it might make sense to rent a car for
just a part of your trip as well. Here you can find the best deals for car
rental.

Driving in Switzerland can be a bit challenging because traffic is often very
busy, there are roadworks on the highways all the time, and you have to be very
careful not to speed because they have cameras all over the place and the fines
are really high. Furthermore, often, you spend half of the time driving in
tunnels with not much to see. But when you leave the main highways and get into
the mountains – the scenery is amazing!

Good to know: When driving on the highways in Switzerland, you need to have a
vignette showing that you paid the toll. It costs 40 CHF and is valid for the
whole calendar year. If you arrive in Switzerland by car, you can buy it at the
border and if you rent a car, it should already have a vignette. In winter,
you’ll need winter tires (obligatory!) and snow chains in the mountains.

If you find the train system overwhelming and don’t feel like driving by
yourself, you can also consider organized tours. There are all kinds of day
tours from all the major cities in Switzerland that allow you to easily visit
the most popular places without having to plan much.

TIP: For tours and tickets, check the GetYourGuide website. It has a great
selection of tours and tickets for all the most popular places in Switzerland.
Furthermore, their customer service is amazing and they have the most flexible
cancelation policy on the market. This is where we book all our tours when we
travel.

Below are some of the most popular tours in Switzerland. For a complete

BEST TIME TO VISIT

There is no bad time to visit Switzerland and all seasons have something special
and unique. You can visit the cities at any time of the year and also some
popular mountain peaks such as Mt Titlis, Jungfraujoch, Klein Matterhorn, or
Gornergrat are accessible 365 days a year.

The best time to visit Switzerland for winter activities is from the end of
December to late March. For outdoor activities and hiking in the mountains –
come between late May to September – early October.

Spring can also be really nice, but mostly in the cities and the valleys. It can
still be quite wet and muddy in the mountains.
