The Matterhorn

This imposing mountain towers 14,700 feet on the Swiss-Italian border.

Reviewed By Whiztech21 - Dubai, United Arab Emirates

The towering peak of the Matterhorn straddles Switzerland and Italy is an amazing mountain that everyone should have on their bucket list. One of the mountain's secrets is that it has an igloo village at the mountain's base.

Old Town

Zürich's historic section features cobblestone streets, a variety of small stores and restaurants and many of the city's most significant religious landmarks.

Reviewed By blajevaina - London, United Kingdom

It’s like walking back in time but even better like a perfect movie set where every building is perfectly positioned and specially preserved, where every street is clean and well maintained, where every tree and street lights are in tune with the buildings and overall everything around is in pristine condition ????❤️???? You can walk around everywhere it is very well organised and easy to navigate. The traditional Trams are very charming and worth the ride . The bicycles are good solutions is you in a hurry. Google map works perfectly they are many hot spots and free wi-fi zones too. Plenty to see from medieval Cathedrals to Alpine masterpieces and Renaissance, museums and galleries,shops and cafe and tavern style restaurants all with charm and character. Very easy on the eye and inviting streets and small piazzas with water futures and corners . Yes the water on the streets is drinkable and very delicious straight from the Alps ! Zürich has the cleanest and most well organised Old town in Europe and you can see it easily. The high Swiss ????????standards are not in the price but in what you get for it and the Old town is up to the highest standards in Europe???????????? Zurich has the cleanest air for European capital city and you’ll feel it referring ! Must see , must explore and must experience the Old Town by walking without rushing. Take time to enjoy, to sit for coffee and admire the atmosphere around you . Don’t rush in a 24 hours you can not see everything . Pick top 3 places of interest for the day and leave few hours to explore without planning and to enjoy! For the romantics that’s the perfect place and there is the bridge where you can put your lock of Love ???? ???? discover it ! ???????? For the historical places tickets online to skip the Q are better options. For shopping, boutique style of Local and High Fashion. For souvenirs few special shops only but no street junks . (No fast food , no any junks on the streets at all ) For picture perfect views of the Old Town- the University terrace, the high Square and the Cathedral Tower! It’s photographers place - no billboards on the buildings or streets no advertising no posters no commercial junk at all ! Beautiful clean well preserved architecture only! One practical advice - Comfy but smart wear it’s a must ! Swiss are very well smart dressed but understated and discreet (no flushing fashion and labels, no fashion statements) Don’t forget the phone chargers, battery extenders and converts if you planing on photos all day (the weird non EU - Swiss sockets need convertor). Most coffee shops and restaurants have where to plug in and recharge but Swiss style only! They usually have free wi-fi too but you need to ask for the password. One of the weird difference from other European capital City’s is that Speaking in high voice and making a noise is considered very rude and impolite! Do keep your voice down NO shouting and screaming in public places (it’s offensive)! Other than that keep it clean and be kind and you’ll be welcome everywhere ! Swiss in generally are very polite and welcoming for tourists ???? Go enjoy,make happy memories and share with the World ????????????????????????????????

Jungfraujoch

Icy air streams across your face, snow crunches under your feet, and the view nearly takes your breath away: on one side the view of the Mittelland up to the Vosges, on the other the Aletsch glacier, bordered by four thousand metre peaks. Standing on the Jungfraujoch 3,454 metres above sea level, you can feel it with your first step: this is a different world. It's one you have to experience.

Basel Minster

Reviewed By gregoryd762

The only red stone minster we have seen so far, this beautiful cathedral set in its own square is very impressive.We have climbed many minsters, duomos and cathedrals, so found this climb relatively easy. Great views from the narrow platform. Unfortunately, we didnt realise there were other steps to go higher. Maybe next time, as there is so much to see in Basel.

Freddie Mercury Statue

In 1996, five years after his death, a bronze statue was unveiled on the lakeshore. Having become a real place of pilgrimage for all his fans, the statue of Freddie Mercury is now an essential figure in the city of Montreux.

Reviewed By ragiansanti34 - Staffordshire, United Kingdom

The Freddie Mercury Memorial is a beautiful tribute to a larger than life performer. He faces the lake and is beautiful (all times but especially) at sunset.

You will feel on top of the world as you take in the spectacular panoramic views of snow-covered mountains and unspoilt Alpine landscapes.The TITLIS ski area is home to more than 80 kilometres of pistes, with slopes to suit every ability. The season lasts from October until May. And in the summer, the mountain is a mecca for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Reviewed By JacquelineC239 - Geraldton, Australia

The highlight of our European holiday. Just outstanding the tour from Zurich via Lucerne to Mt Titlis just Devine. The mountain experience delightful we walked the glacier walk, across the suspension bridge and took a ride on the chairlift, we had the best weather, enjoyed a nice drink on the deck and took the rotating gondola ride down to the village. So recommended, expensive but once in a life time trip.

Lake Zurich

Reviewed By GrahamB67 - Welwyn Garden City, United Kingdom

The 85 minute short cruise from Bürkliplatz to Thalwil is a relaxing way to see both sides of the lake. Excellent price for the trip, and food and drink on board was sensibly priced, too. Quite busy in the low season, as less boats are operating, so there were few spare seats
