Your Switzerland Holiday Itinerary

  • Day 1: Zurich Airport is Switzerland’s busiest international airport and is the perfect place to start your trip. Once you’ve settled into your hotel, stroll down the cobblestone streets of Zurich’s Old Town to see some of the city’s significant religious landmarks, like Fraumünster Church and the Grossmünster.

  • Day 2: Less than an hour’s drive from Zurich is the picturesque city of Lucerne. Rent a set of wheels and cruise south to explore notable sights like Chapel Bridge, the Lion of Lucerne and beautiful Lake Lucerne.

  • Day 3: Switzerland’s capital, Bern, is as pretty as a postcard and takes less than 90 minutes in the car from Lucerne. Visit the sprawling Bern Bear Park and catch a glimpse of real bears playing on the grassy hill slopes.

Switzerland Information

  • On the first of August each year at 8 p.m., church bells ring throughout Switzerland to celebrate Swiss National Day. Join families and communities in their festivities as they light bonfires and set off spectacular fireworks.

The staff was friendly and welcoming, the common area was updated with plenty of room to get work done. The room itself was spacious, the only issue I had was that I could hear people in the adjacent room while trying to fall asleep.
