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, 2023I 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, 2023I 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.
Posted: April 30, 2023I love Switzerland. I did Lauterbrunnen. I absolutely loved it. Loved Interlaken too and took the Cable Car up to Harder Klum , also did Mt Rigi. I absolutely loved this country and can keep going back for more.
Posted: April 2, 2023Switzerland is so clean and safe! A bit expensive, since they use swiss francs, and the people tend to be quiet and keep to themselves (from my experience, which is fine because I'm the same way), but its so beautiful and peaceful there.
Posted: December 12, 2022We were traveling for 3 weeks in Switzerland. We started in Geneva and then went to Bern, Interlaken, Lucerne, and Zurich. We had the 15 day Swiss Pass and took a different day trip everyday. Each day was more beautiful than the next. It was amazing.
Posted: December 3, 2022Here are some tips I could suggest: - public transport is very efficient and good here and for foreigners there are even special tickets. Also, there’s an app called ‘SBB mobile’ which will show you the time schedule for all trains, buses and trams. It may also be cheaper to rent a car, roads in here are very safe and not difficult to drive. Just make sure you know what you want to do before you go so you don’t waste money as public transportation is expensive here. - cheapest supermarkets are denner, lidl and aldi. Coop and migros are most common but they’re a bit more expensive. There’s also the ‘too good to go’ app which is amazing. - hostels are the best way to go. Even fairly cheap things in here have quite high standards, so most likely you won’t be disappointed. - if you want to visit grindelwald and/or lauterbrunnen, I suggest to stay in interlaken or close by as its much cheaper. Most hotels/hostels there will give you a card which will allow you to use public transportation free and grindelwald and lauterbrunnen are very close to interlaken and within that free ticket. There are also so called ‘saving ticket’ if you buy them early enough they’re very cheap, you can find them on the app. The only issue with that is that you can only use those for the specific times you choose. If you miss that train the ticket won’t be valid anymore. - if you plan to go hiking, there are several huts in the alps you can stay at that aren’t that expensive and the sunsets/sunrises are amazing! - as for other recommendations, I highly recommend to visit the whole interlaken are, and if your budget allows to go up to jungfraujoch, it’s the highest train station in Europe. Also, zermatt is amazing, but expensive.
Posted: November 27, 2022Did one of my first solo trips in Switzerland. Great place to try out solo travel. It’s a very easy place to get around, very safe, and most people speak English.
Posted: November 21, 2022First of all - make sure you have enough money! Switzerland is beautiful but not cheap. It’s also incredibly safe so you don’t need to worry about that. Switzerland is known for its nature and mountains. I love the lauterbrunnen and interlaken areas. Pilatus and Rigi are also nice as mountain day-trips. The country has really good public transport so it’s easy to get around. You can buy tickets at train/tram station or in the SBB phone app. Most things don’t need pre-booking. In Zürich, i would recommend: -the kunsthaus (art gallery) -swimming areas on the lake: badi utoquai, and seebad enge -a show at the opera house -shopping on bahnhofstrasse -museums! there are lots, so search for one that fits your interests -hike to uetliberg (or, there is a train if you just want the view) -eat luxemburgerli, hot chocolate, and patisserie at sprüngli -eat brunch (with a zopf bread and great coffee!) at gran café motta
Posted: October 10, 2022Itinerary: Day 1 – Zurich Day 2 – Lucerne Day 3, 4 & 5 – Gruyères Day 6 & 7 – Zermatt Day 8, 9, 10, 11 & 12 – Gimmelwald Day 13 – Zurich Safety: I felt super safe as a solo traveller. Recommendations: Switzerland is a beautiful country but lodging and food are expensive.

I’m off to Switzerland and was wondering what city would be preferable to base myself in- Zurich or Geneva? I want the best of both, the city feel and the opportunity to do a day excursion to beautiful mountainous parts of the country. I also like a good party. Which would be better?
Posted: June 22, 2023I’m off to Basel, Switzerland, and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for things to do, places to eat, etc.
Posted: June 22, 2023I'm going on a trip with group of friends this week to Switzerland. We are going to Lucerne, Interlaken and Zurich. We didn't get to plan it because life happened. We are excited to nature most of all. Does anyone have any suggestions, tips or experiences?
Posted: November 23, 2022Hi ladies !! Has anyone tried going to Rhine falls from Zurich on their own? Like without a tour? If yes, how was your experience?
Posted: November 13, 2022What towns/cities should we visit in Switzerland? We have 2 days and we thought of Geneva and Zurich, but we would also like a small village near the mountains.
