Getting around Switzerland

In Switzerland, getting around is a breeze. The country has a world-class transport system that's as smooth as Swiss chocolate. Trains, buses, and boats connect the whole country seamlessly, making it easy to hop from city to mountains, lakes, and everything in between. The Swiss Travel Pass is a bangin’ option for tourists, offering unlimited travel on public transport, including scenic routes like the Glacier Express. And if you prefer to drive, Swiss roads are well-maintained, and car hire is readily available, though parking in cities can be pricey.

Things to do for families in Switzerland

Switzerland is a top-notch destination for families, offering plenty of outdoor and indoor activities that will keep the kiddos entertained. Head to the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne for interactive exhibits and the chance to drive a train or take a simulated flight. If your little ones love animals, they’ll be buzzing at Zoo Zurich, where they can meet everything from penguins to elephants. In winter, there’s family-friendly skiing in Grindelwald or Zermatt, with gentle slopes and excellent ski schools. Fancy a fairytale moment? Château de Chillon on Lake Geneva is a whopping medieval castle that feels like stepping back in time.

Things to do for couples in Switzerland

Looking for a romantic getaway? Switzerland is all about cosy vibes and stunning backdrops. Take a scenic train ride through the Swiss Alps aboard the Bernina Express—with glaciers, mountains, and gorges on view, it's the perfect place to cosy up with your other half. Or go full boujee and stay in a swanky hotel in Zermatt, with a private balcony view of the Matterhorn (extra points for a room with a fireplace). For a slower pace, explore the old town of Lucerne hand in hand, then hop on a boat across the lake for a delish sunset cruise. And, of course, don't miss the thermal baths in Vals or Leukerbad—nothing says romance like soaking in natural hot springs while the snow falls around you.

Things to do for groups in Switzerland

If you’re travelling with your mates, Switzerland has no shortage of group-friendly adventures. Kick things off with a day of skiing or snowboarding at one of the country’s top-tier ski resorts like Verbier or St. Moritz—you’ll be shredding the slopes in no time. For something a bit different, try paragliding over Interlaken for a proper whopper view of the lakes and mountains below. In summer, the Via Ferrata climbing routes offer an adrenaline-packed way to scale the Swiss Alps with the safety of iron rungs and cables. And when it's time to wind down, why not tour a Swiss brewery or visit the Maison Cailler chocolate factory as a group? Both are mega fun and delish!

Things to do for foodies in Switzerland

Swiss cuisine is not just about fondue (though, to be fair, that molten cheese is a reason to visit in itself). For foodies, Switzerland is a true melting pot of flavours from its German, French, and Italian neighbours. In Zurich, head to Kronenhalle for a swanky dining experience with a side of art (we’re talking Picasso and Chagall hanging on the walls). Cheese lovers will be in heaven in the town of Gruyères, where you can tour the cheese factory and enjoy raclette or fondue that's the real deal. Don't miss the chance to visit Geneva for some proper good chocolate tasting—Favarger and Auer are must-visits. And if you're feeling posh, book a table at a Michelin-starred restaurant like Cheval Blanc in Basel for a fancy feast that’ll have you singing Switzerland’s culinary praises.
