Places one must visit in Switzerland?

Question

We have a week in Switzerland.Which places should we not miss visiting there?

Answer 1

Well, Switzerland is a small country - but there are so many different parts and attractions that one really could spend weeks here.

Expecting you would arrive at Zurich airport anyway, Zurich is an attractive city with its lake, the medieval ally ways and the shopping possibilities. Lucerne (Luzern) is a perfect place to see central Switzerland and be near to the mountains - perhaps you can go up Pilatus from there by cable railway?

Probably the most impressive mountain with railway access to the top is the Jungfrau in the so-called "Bernese Alps" - but perhaps you rather like visiting towns like Geneva? Or make a special railway tour around Switzerland - either with the "Glacier Express" all in the alps or an individual tour like from Berne via Lucerne to St. Gall...?

Answer 2

Zurich, Montreux (Jazz Festival), Luzern, Lugano, Zermatt, Saas Fee

everywhere is just so awesome in Switzerland!

Answer 3

You need to go to Lauterbrunnen near Interlaken and take a tram to the top of one of the mountains and hike down.  Also I would go to the Italian part.  Lugano is beautiful and there is an amazing stone city called Corrippo (sp?) in the Val de Verzasca (sp?) near Locarno that is one of my favorite places in the world.  Zurich is a good (but very expensive) big city (about 1/2 million).  St. Gallen is a nice laid back city and it is near Appenzell which is a very pretty little town with their own extremely stinky cheese.  The castle near Montreux is quite interesting.  If you are going in February watch out for Fastnacht in Basel.  It's unbelievable.
