Description: How to plan a trip to Switzerland
planning a trip to switzerland (1) switzerland travel guide (1)
Whether it's in the banking Mecca of Geneva or a ski-and-hike resort amid the mighty cut-glass, glacier-clad peaks of the Alps , touring the medeival captial of Berne or admiring modern art in Basel, standing on the 560-foot covered bridge that zig-zags across the Reuss River in the lovely market town Luzern, or strolling the lakeside quais of Zurich tossing bread to the swans, all Swiss towns share a subdued refinement and sensible elegance.
As modern as Switzerland gets, as business-like as its reputation may make it seem, it always surprises me that you can still find, in everywhere from Alpine villages to the busiest bustling centers of commerce, lovely medieval nooks and crannies where cobblestoned streets are lined by half-timbered houses, little shops, and homey taverns where ruddy-faced men squeeze accordions and sing songs about herding on the high Alpine meadows.
Switzerland truly is one of Europe's great underrated countries these days.
