Switzerland
Switzerland is a pristine country of lakes, mountains and forests. The best known of the continent`s mountain ranges, the Alpine chain, runs through most of Switzerland and provides the majority of the country`s magnificent natural sights. In the summer, towns such as Interlaken become green mountain centers for walking and mountaineering, and there are few places more naturally beautiful in the whole of Europe. Zurich, Geneva, Bern and Lucerne are models of Swiss efficiency, offering a wealth of perfectly serene history. Less busy are the lakeside resorts, including fashionable Montreux on Lake Geneva.

Basel
Basel sits snugly in the north-western corner of Switzerland, bordering both France and Germany. This strategic location on the Rhine River means Basel has historically held an important position as a commercial and trading hub. Few cities in Europe can match Basel for its concentration of cultural attractions and things to do. The city is a colorful mix of business visitors to the trade fairs, tourists thirsty for art and history, students of the oldest university in Switzerland, expatriates lured in by the many headquarters of multinational companies, and of course, the ever-patient Baslers with their lilting dialect and dry humor. Stroll the Old Town (Altstadt), Rathaus (Town Hall) and Marktplatz, Kunstmuseum Basel (Museum of Art), Basler Münster (Basel Minster), Spielzeug Welten Museum (Toy Museum), Spalentor (fortified gate), Zoologischer Garten (Zoo), Historisches Museum (Historical Museum), Jean Tinguely Museum and so much more!

Bern
Bern is one of the oldest cities in Europe with origins going back to the 12th century. It is on the UNESCO list of World Cultural Heritage and boasts many museums, theatres, landmarks, cafes, restaurants and shops - not to mention the weekly market (and the lovely Christmas market) - all of which can be easily reached on foot. The Old Town of Bern has one of the longest "weatherproof" shopping malls in Europe under its almost 4 mile of covered arcades. The medieval atmosphere, with shops in the cellar vaults is unique and charming. Explore the Old Town (Altstadt), The Paul Klee Museum, Zytglogge (Clock Tower), Bern Cathedral, Gurten Mountain, Bern Historical Museum, Bundeshaus (Swiss Federal Building), BärenPark, Museum of Fine Arts, The Rose Garden, Einstein Museum, and so much more!

Lucerne
Located at the north end of the Lake Lucerne within sight of Mount Pilatus and Rigi, Lucerne is a beautiful small city in the heartland of Switzerland. It abounds in narrow cobblestone streets, covered bridges, frescoed houses, and fountains.

Zurich
Zurich is a stunningly gorgeous city with a beautifully-preserved old town, endless greenery, wondrous snow-capped mountains, fresh air, and crystal clear lake views. The city's extraordinary museums, churches and galleries, confirm its position as Switzerland's spiritual, if not political, capital. There is also a hip, less conventional side to Zurich. Zuri West, once the industrial section, has become the 'it spot' over the last decade, with loft living, galleries, museums, experimental theater and clubs.
Explore Lake Zurich, Old Town (Altstadt), Museum of Art (Kunsthaus Zurich), Uetliberg Mountain, Zoo Zurich, Lindenhofplatz, Bahnhofstrasse, Grossmunster, Church of Our Lady (Fraumunster), Rietberg Museum and so much more!
