Switzerland

Switzerland is undeniably beautiful with stunning alpine scenery, crystal clear lakes, ancient cities, scenic countryside and picturesque meadows. Vast forests with nature trails and hiking paths characterise the country. The Swiss Alps are an icon of Switzerland, where snow-capped peaks, icy glaciers and awesome spires define this beautiful region. Thick forests and woods extend to the edge of calm lakes. Cable cars and quaint cogwheel trains carry tourists through spectacular mountain scenery.

In the Southern areas, the climate is more pleasant and similar to the warm Mediterranean weather. You'll see green meadows, large farms with picturesque flower gardens and can visit busy cities such as Bern and Zurich, where medieval architecture and modern lifestyles combine. Switzerland is famous for its opulent shopping arcades, fashionable stores and friendly cities. The countryside with its stone churches, lovely landscape and forest-clad hills will make your tour of Switzerland quite unforgettable.
