Top five attractions

Zurich Old Town

The medieval setting of this magical district is in stark contrast to the pulsating nightclubs that rock its foundations of an evening. By day, cafes, shopping and sightseeing restore the calm.

Jet d'Eau

You cannot miss this Geneva landmark: a powerful jet of water that shoots into the air above Lake Geneva.

Geneva Old Town

Also known as Vieille Ville, visitors tread carefully on the cobbled lanes of this maze-like area. Don’t forget to look up though, as above the cafes and shop fronts are glorious examples of this city’s impressive architecture.

The Glacier Express

There are many famous railway journeys in Switzerland. The Glacier Express links Zermatt and St Moritz via the Swiss Alps, through mountain tunnels and across bridges that make the mind boggle – it is a railway journey that is impossible to forget.

Rhine Falls

Book car hire in Zurich and drive north to visit the Rhine Falls, the largest waterfall in Europe. See the falls in summer for the fastest flow rates. There are viewing platforms on the Swiss side of the river.

There is a packed calendar in Switzerland and you are invited to join in. These are just three of the best annual events…

Geneva Festival; July-August: The party atmosphere in Geneva is hard to beat when this summertime event arrives. There are fireworks, parades, live music, funfairs and so much more during an entire month of high-spirited action.

Street Parade in Zurich; August: Follow the “Love Mobiles” as they tour the streets of Zurich at walking (or dancing) pace belting out house and techno tunes. This huge and obviously lively event takes over the city and hotels will be in high demand.

Christmas markets; November-December: The main festive markets are held in Basel, Bern and Zurich. Said to be among the most splendid in Europe, Basel’s market provides the perfect segue from dull November into the joys of the Yuletide period.
