Switzerland

Trying to plan a 7 day trip (not including flight) to Switzerland. Will have a car but also don’t mind taking g the train to places- any suggestions on towns that are must see or things to do? More into nature and landscapes - small villages, etc

This will be in April .


Thanks!

Re: Switzerland

I haven’t travelled a ton in Switzerland, but I really liked Bern and Appenzeller (great cheese, too!). The ride to Appenzeller was simply amazing. I also liked Interlaken.

If I were you and had 7 days, I’d do a city (maybe the one you land in?) of some sort and then two days at a nice b&b in two country towns.

Zurich was OK, but like you, I prefer the countryside.

I stick to the German part of Switzerland. You might want to check out the French/Italian part as well. Up to you.

If you are driving, don’t forget to get your vignette or check with your rental place if it is included.

Lucerne for sure. It's a little touristy but justifiably so - it's gorgeous and the painted bridges are amazing.

Also Lugano. The Swiss Miniatur Village outside of it is awesome and the village of Lugano is gorgeous. We did a cruise on Lake Lugano and it's one of the prettiest places I've ever been. It's on the border with Italy.

We went to Switzerland to ski a couple times when I was a kid. We were in Zermatt, and while it was almost 30 years ago I will never forget the views of the Matterhorn. Stunning. I would love love to go back. On another trip we took a train literally up through the inside of a mountain. It was so cool. The highest train station in Europe or something like that. The town we stayed in was Grindelwald and I think the train was called the Jungfrau railway.
