Basel
From Rachel of Rachel’s Ruminations Basel is a lovely little city with a historical core that is just perfect for strolling and soaking up the atmosphere. The houses are simple and charming, some dating to the Middle Ages. Art dots the streets: fountains, decorative sculpture, and painting on the centuries-old buildings as well as amusing modern art, like the dragon sculpture that breathes actual smoke! “Reaction ferries” – no motor or sails – carry passengers across the Rhine between the two...
Lausanne
From Caroline of Veggie Wayfarer Snowcapped mountains, half-timbered houses, and a city that seemingly rolls down a hill right into the most pristine lake, upon which steamboats glide to and back from France: this is the storybook city of Lausanne, in the Vaud-region. Built atop three hills, the very first thing you will want to bring with you is a good pair of walking shoes. Start at the Lausanne Cathedral for some of the best views over the entire city, walk down the famous wooden staircase...
Lugano
From Zoe of Together In Switzerland For one of the best places to visit in Switzerland, consider booking your next Swiss getaway in Lugano! Located in the heart of the Italian-speaking Ticino region, Lugano is beautiful to visit all year round. However, the best time for Lugano is in the summer, with long warm days and lots of local events in the city.

Schynige Platte
From Amela of Stay Wild Travels If you’re heading to the Jungfrau Region in Switzerland, then visiting the summit of Schynige Platteis a must.

It chugs slowly up the mountainside and offers fantastic views, which is an incredible experience in itself. Once you’ve arrived at the summit, you’ll fin...
