Alpine scenery \u2014 from the Jungfrau region and the Matterhorn to the Swiss side of Mont Blanc \u2014 delivers glaciers, flower-filled meadows and spectacular views year-round. Around the great lakes (Lake Geneva, Lucerne, Zurich, Constance), immaculate villages and terraced vineyards create soothing landscapes, while legendary panoramic trains (the Glacier Express, the Bernina Express) link valleys and peaks in style. On the urban side, Zurich blends cultural energy with design, Geneva shines with international flair, Lucerne charms with its wooden bridge and ramparts, and Bern, a UNESCO-listed capital, delights with a beautifully preserved medieval centre.<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"1053\" data-end=\"1559\">Switzerland suits many styles of travel: hiking and via ferrata in summer, skiing and snowshoeing in winter, lake cruises, thermal spas, cycling routes and comforting local cuisine (cheeses, chocolate, regional wines). Distances are short, public transport is remarkably efficient and organisation is famously smooth. With accommodation ranging from design hotels to Alpine chalets, wellness retreats and charming inns, it\u2019s easy to craft a tailor-made itinerary mixing big landscapes, culture and comfort.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 data-start=\"1561\" data-end=\"1608\">\ud83d\uddfa\ufe0f Practical information about Switzerland<\/h3>\r\n<p data-start=\"1610\" data-end=\"2244\">\ud83d\udccd <strong data-start=\"1613\" data-end=\"1624\">Capital<\/strong>: Bern<br data-start=\"1630\" data-end=\"1633\" \/>\ud83d\udc65 <strong data-start=\"1636\" data-end=\"1650\">Population<\/strong>: Around 8.9 million inhabitants<br data-start=\"1682\" data-end=\"1685\" \/>\ud83d\udcb6 <strong data-start=\"1688\" data-end=\"1700\">Currency<\/strong>: Swiss franc (CHF)<br data-start=\"1719\" data-end=\"1722\" \/>\ud83d\udde3\ufe0f <strong data-start=\"1726\" data-end=\"1748\">Official languages<\/strong>: German, French, Italian, Romansh<br data-start=\"1782\" data-end=\"1785\" data-is-only-node=\"\" \/>\u23f0 <strong data-start=\"1787\" data-end=\"1800\">Time zone<\/strong>: UTC +1 (winter) \/ UTC +2 (summer)<br data-start=\"1835\" data-end=\"1838\" \/>\ud83c\udf21\ufe0f <strong data-start=\"1842\" data-end=\"1853\">Climate<\/strong>: Alpine and temperate; conditions vary greatly by altitude<br data-start=\"1912\" data-end=\"1915\" \/>\ud83d\ude86 <strong data-start=\"1918\" data-end=\"1944\">Getting there &amp; around<\/strong>: Dense, punctual rail network; panoramic trains; well-maintained mountain roads<br data-start=\"2024\" data-end=\"2027\" \/>\ud83c\udfd4\ufe0f <strong data-start=\"2031\" data-end=\"2045\">Highlights<\/strong>: The Alps (Jungfrau, Matterhorn), Lake Geneva &amp; Lake Lucerne, Zurich, Geneva, Bern (UNESCO), Lucerne (Kapellbr\u00fccke), Zermatt, Interlaken, Glacier Express &amp; Bernina Express, Lavaux vineyards (UNESCO)<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 data-start=\"2246\" data-end=\"2284\">\ud83c\udfe8 Find a good hotel in Switzerland<\/h2>\r\n<p data-start=\"2286\" data-end=\"2561\">Whether your itinerary focuses on elegant cities, lakes, Alpine resorts or scenic routes, you\u2019ll find stays for every style \u2014 design hotels, chalets and Alpine spas. \ud83c\udf1f <strong data-start=\"2457\" data-end=\"2500\"><a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/booking.tp.st\/YwStRwfG\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"2459\" data-end=\"2498\">See the best hotels in Switzerland<\/a><\/strong> to compare offers, reviews and prices for your travel dates.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 data-start=\"2563\" data-end=\"2597\">\ud83d\uddfa\ufe0f Articles about Switzerland<\/h3>\r\n<p data-start=\"2599\" data-end=\"2780\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Below, you\u2019ll find our <strong data-start=\"2622\" data-end=\"2665\">selection of articles about Switzerland<\/strong>, followed by the <strong data-start=\"2683\" data-end=\"2699\">latest posts<\/strong>, to help you plan your trip and explore the country\u2019s most beautiful landscapes.<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/destinations-europe.com\/en\/category\/switzerland-trip\/","name":"SWITZERLAND","slug":"switzerland-trip","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Travel in Switzerland | Guides and tips, from Zurich to Geneva<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Traveling in Switzerland means you\u2019re sure to admire strikingly varied landscapes, and to enjoy a wide range of experiences too.
