Solo travel experience
I was in Switzerland in May for 6 days. I had a car and drove from Zurich to Zermatt and spent 2 days there. Then went to Lauterbrunnen for 2 days and Lucerne for 2 days. I took a day trip to Bern for like half a day. It was a lot of movement but I had a wonderful time and it’s crazy beautiful there.
Posted: September 29, 2023Solo travel experience
I went on a 10-day trip to Switzerland by myself. It was more beautiful than I thought it would be. It was also more expensive than I expected. If you're planning to go, I suggest getting a Swiss Travel Pass. It gives you free rides on trains, buses, and boats, free entry to most museums and discounts on other activities. I got a lot of value out of it. I stayed in Zurich for the first week and took day trips to Bern (my favorite), Luzern, Liechtenstein (the pass works there too), Stein am Rhine and Jungfraujoch. Then I went to Zermatt (The Matterhorn is amazing) and took the Glacier Express to Saint Moritz before returning to Zurich to fly home.
Posted: August 16, 2023Solo travel experience
I travelled to Switzerland solo and loved it. Stayed in hostels and cooked my meals. I mostly spent my money on activities. I enjoyed Zermatt and Interlaken and surrounding areas like Lauterbrunnen and Jungfrau.
