Festivals en evenementen

Switzerland is synonymous with the Alps. The iconic Matterhorn silhouette from Zermatt is a must-see. The Jungfrau region, accessible from Interlaken, offers a trio of legendary peaks (Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau) and access to the impressive Aletsch Glacier. It is a paradise for mountaineering, skiing and simply marveling at nature.

Swiss cities perfectly combine history and modernity. Lucerne is the perfect postcard with its lake and mountains. Bern, the capital, boasts an impeccably preserved medieval old town. Zurich is the dynamic financial and cultural center, while Geneva, on the shores of its lake, is an epicenter of international diplomacy.

Swiss lakes are the heart of summer. Lake Geneva is home to cities such as Montreux and the spectacular terraced vineyards of Lavaux, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Lake Lucerne offers unforgettable cruises with alpine views. And the lakes of Thun and Brienz, with their turquoise waters, are the gateway to the Bernese Alps.

Take a Trip on a Panoramic Train

Crossing the Swiss Alps aboard trains such as the Glacier Express or the Bernina Express is an unforgettable experience. With their carriages with large windows, these trains traverse spectacular viaducts, daring tunnels and landscapes of glaciers and deep valleys. It is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful and relaxing ways to get to know the grandeur of the country.

Climb the Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe

Taking the rack railway to the highest station in Europe, at 3,454 meters, is an adventure in itself. Once at the top, the views of the Aletsch Glacier, the longest in the Alps, and a sea of snow-capped peaks are breathtaking. Inside the complex, you will find an ice palace and several exhibitions.

Immerse yourself in the Cheese Culture in Gruyères

Visiting the medieval village of Gruyères is like entering a story. The experience is completed with a visit to 'La Maison du Gruyère', the local cheese factory, where you can see the production of the famous cheese first hand. Don't leave without trying an authentic fondue or raclette in one of its traditional restaurants.

Visit a Chocolate Factory

Switzerland is the homeland of chocolate and visiting a factory is a pleasure for the senses. Places like the Maison Cailler in Broc or the Lindt Home of Chocolate near Zurich offer interactive tours that explain the process from cocoa bean to bar, culminating, of course, with delicious tastings.

Sailing on an Alpine Lake

Taking a cruise on a historic steamship on Lake Lucerne or Lake Geneva offers a completely different perspective on Swiss beauty. Surrounded by mountains and passing picturesque villages and castles, it is a tranquil and majestic way to absorb the landscape.

Walk through the Old Town of Bern

The capital of Switzerland, whose historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a medieval gem. Walking under its six kilometers of arcades ('Lauben'), admiring its Renaissance fountains, visiting the Clock Tower (Zytglogge) and contemplating the city from the Rose Garden is a charming experience.

Consejos

Tips van Culture & Heritage

Swiss Travel Pass

Seriously consider purchasing a Swiss Travel Pass. It offers unlimited travel on the country's train, bus and boat network, as well as public transportation in more than 90 cities and free entry to more than 500 museums. It is often cheaper than buying individual tickets.

Cost of living

Switzerland is one of the most expensive countries in the world. To save, consider buying food at supermarkets such as Coop or Migros, which offer good quality products and takeaway options. Drinking tap water is safe and public fountains usually have potable water.

Language

Switzerland has four official languages. Depending on the region, you will hear Swiss, French, Italian or Romansh German spoken. However, English is widely spoken in tourist areas and in the transportation system, so communication is not usually a problem.
