Switzerland Itinerary

Zurich, Switzerland’s largest city, is an international business capital as well as a historical marvel. With several identities – time-honoured and traditional, young and cool, wealthy and cosmopolitan – it’s a city that manages to appeal to all tastes. 

• Stroll along the Bahnhofstrasse, a world-class shopping boulevard.
• Visit Grossmünster church, a symbol of the Swiss Reformation.
• The Old Town is a pedestrian zone with surprises all across its hidden alleyways. 

As your train arrives in Lucerne, prepare to take a step back in time. Move slowly and savour the picture-perfect city's well-preserved architecture — of the city's many medieval sites, perhaps the best known is Chapel Bridge, thought to be the oldest wooden bridge in Europe.

• Another remnant of medieval times is the Musegg Wall. Three of its towers can be climbed for a panoramic view over Lucerne. 
• Can’t get enough of the scenery? Make your way up Mount Pilatus, a landmark steeped in legend (it was once thought that a dragon lived on the mountain!)
  
• Consider a day trip to Mount Rigi, often referred to as "the Queen of the Mountains." Pass holders can enjoy a 50% discount on several of Rigi’s privately operated attractions, including the cogwheel trains to Goldau and Vitznau, as well as the aerial cable cars to Weggis and Kräbel.
  

Interlaken is Switzerland’s (and perhaps Europe’s) adventure-sport capital, where almost anything goes – from world-class snowboarding and skiing pistes to paragliding and skydiving above sparkling lakes to plunging through white rapids aboard a raft.

• Get to know Interlaken with a walk down the Aare River, which connects Lake Brienz and Lake Thun and leads into the heart of the city.
• Catch a bird's eye view of Interlaken and the surrounding lakes with a paragliding session led by a professional guide.
• Take a day trip to Wengen, Lauterbrunnen and Mürren, three towns located in the heart of the Bernese Alps. 

Bern, the capital city of Switzerland, will have you marvelling at its beauty. It’s idyllic no matter what the season — in summer, you can swim in the bright blue Aare River, and in winter, you can go sledding at Gurten Hill and enjoy the view over Bern.

• The layout of Bern’s medieval Old City has been preserved since its founding in 1191 and can easily be explored on foot. 
• Check out the Zytglogge, the medieval astronomical clock tower. Another key sight is the Cathedral of Bern, which provides magnificent views over the city.
• The University of Bern is minutes away from the city's main train station. The park outside the entrance is the perfect spot to take in incredible Alpine views.

This itinerary culminates in Geneva, on the shores of Lac Léman. Take time to wander its Old Town and reflect on your journey through the cities and natural landscapes of Switzerland. Equally diverting and serene, Geneva is the perfect place to begin dreaming of your next adventure. 

• It’s hard to miss the Jet d’Eau, a large fountain located where Lake Geneva meets the Rhône River. Its backdrop of the French and Swiss Alps offers a perfect opportunity for a photo.
• Nearby, the famous Flower Clock is a living tribute to Switzerland’s watchmakers.
• Geneva is home to United Nations and International Red Cross — guided tours are available at their offices and museums.
