Switzerland travel guide

Switzerland is only about a sixth in size of the UK, but with its German, French and Italian parts it is one of Europe’s most diverse countries

Related Content

Visit Switzerland’s cities like swank Zurich or laid-back Bern to embrace their mix of rich history and modern culture.

Relax at lakes like Lago Maggiore or Lago di Lugano and go hiking, climbing, mountainbiking, skiing or snowboarding in the Alps.

Switzerland is generally an expensive country, but you can keep costs down by avoiding high season and pricey resorts.

Wanderlust Recommends

  1. Pump up your adrenaline by climbing the Engelberg’s via ferrata or join Indian tourists photographing Bollywood film locations
  2. Go cycling in the Valais region, following the Rhône River to the shores of Lake Geneva, and reward yourself with glass of local wine
  3. Relax on your way up Mount Rigi while a little red locomotive does all the climbing and gaze down at Lake Lucerne from its top
  4. Enjoy the view on a ride with the Swiss Glacier Express – place seven of the Wanderlust Travel Awards 2010 Top Rail Journey
  5. Go skiing or snowboarding in Zermatt, breathtaking views of the 4,478m high Matterhorn included  
  6. Unwind at the lakeside in Zurich after dancing the night away in a stylish nightclub
