Something Leisurely

Switzerland

Art museums and the markets in Bern, horse-drawn carriage rides and quaint chalets (wooden houses) at the Zermatt village in the Matterhorn give a very rustic feel. Stroll through the medieval old town of Lucerne to get acquainted with bubbling fountains and sun-splashed plazas or head to the Rigi, a famous lookout point. Walk through the lanes of Bern that exudes an old-world charm and has 16th-century fountains galore, apart from the vastly-laden shopping arcades locally referred to as ‘Lauben’. If youre a nature lover, hop on the Albula/Bernina Railway Line to catch a glimpse of unspoiled mountain landscapes and make sure to not miss the Ruinaulta (Swiss Grand Canyon)

Quick Tip(s) from the Locals

Switzerland

Swiss people are very peaceful, and value punctuality and etiquettes. In case you’re queueing up to buy cheese/chocolates, do not shy away from using a little elbow. Do not litter in public and always use special garbage bags to dispose.
