Switzerland – A Journey Up in Heavens

🏞 Alpine towns🏞 Epic viewsπŸš— Scenic drives🧊 Glacial lakes🏰 Castles🍷 VineyardsπŸ’Ž Glaciers
β€œWe love Switzerland because it's the most heavenly-looking place on Earth. From its tranquil towns to the dramatic but covered in fluffy clouds Swiss Alps – you will quickly fall in love. Switzerland is best if you are looking for unique stunning nature but also want to slow down and reflect a little.”

Getting around

Rental car is the best way to properly explore Switzerland. You will also need train or gondola rides to reach remote locations occasionally.

Language

Switzerland has four official languages: German, French, Italian, and Romansh. The language will depend on the region, but English is widely spoken as a second language, especially in urban and tourist areas like Zurich, Geneva, Lucerne, and Interlaken. Hotels, restaurants, and transportation hubs in these cities often have English-speaking staff and signage. Swiss public transport (trains, buses, and boats) is highly efficient and tourist-friendly. Signs and announcements are often available in English, and it's easy to use apps like the Swiss Travel System for planning. In rural areas or smaller towns, the local language will prevail (Swiss German, French, or Italian depending on the region), and English might be less common, though many locals can still communicate in basic English. English is widely understood in Switzerland, but we recommend learning a few basic phrases in the local language of the region you're visiting (German, Italian, and especially French).

Safety

Switzerland is one of the safest countries in the world.
