Poland has grown as one of Europe’s greatest post-communist success stories.
Switzerland may go unnoticed as it is in the middle of many other countries and does not have a large size. Still, it is an excellent place for its richness in nature and mountainous landscapes, where it is highly recommended to go skiing in winter or climbing and hiking in summer. For those interested in taking a tour of its beautiful cities, the currency used in the place is the Swiss franc. Exchanging your local currency before the trip and planning a budget can save you time and effort.
Let’s talk about 5 of the top cities you can visit in Switzerland:
Places to visit in Switzerland
- Zurich
- Lugano
- Berna
- Lucerna
- Geneva
Zurich
The city is more populated and the biggest of all the country (but not its capital) can offer us a mix of great views of natural landscapes, the Swiss Alps and the Limmat river, or find between their streets international branch offices and luxury brands where to spend the day shopping.
Of all the things you can do in this city, maybe the most interesting are visiting the famous Lindt chocolate museum, which costs 15 Swiss Franc per person. The Rin waterfalls (5 Swiss francs) are 35 min by car from Zürich or 1 hour by public transport or also get to know all the churches, abbeys and museums located between the city streets.
Lugano
Located in the southeast of Switzerland and near Italy, it is full of tradition and Mediterranean cultural costumes.
Lugano Art and Culture, the Ciani Park, climb the Bré mountain, where you will find an excellent panorama, are just some things you can discover visiting this place.
Something better to know about the lodging in this area is that it tends to be higher than nearby ones. Better to compare before with close places and think about which currency is better to pay.
Berna
Not known for a lot of people, but the capital of Switzerland. Where the most exact clocks in the world are made.
Also, people usually take the opportunity to relax and treat themselves in a spa, sometimes with views of the picturesque medieval buildings that characterize the city.
If you are a lover of flowers, more specifically roses, in Berna you will fall in love with the Rose garden, where there are more than 200 varieties of this flower, and where you can find one of the most recommended places to eat, the Rosengarten restaurant.
Lucerna
Consider one of the most beautiful cities in Switzerland, it is located near the four cantons lake, called in this way for the cantons (regions of Switzerland) that surround the lake, there are boat tours to visit it for around 20 Swiss francs.
Other places that characterize this city are their covered wooden bridges and the church, both of the medieval era.
Geneva
One of the country’s most important cities, Geneva catches the eye of the tourists looking for an international, cosmopolitan environment.
Since then, I have walked through the old town to take a selfie in the Jet d’Eau (a 140 metres fountain inside Geneva’s lake) or even go to Bain des Pâquis, a public spa with sauna, Turkish bath, hammam, and massage service.
Geneva is a lively city that offers all kinds of places to know.
If you are lucky to spend the weekend there, you cannot miss the Plaine Plainpalais market, where you can find everything from vintage clothes ethnic jewelry to pieces of furniture. In this case, it is probably that most of the sellers don’t accept payment with cards. So better have some of your cash exchanged to the local currency for don’t miss a possible good shop!
An essential thing that you can make here, (or in Switzerland in general) is to try their best dishes.
