Best Places to Visit in Switzerland




 
 

Bern
#7 in Best Places to Visit in Switzerland
The capital of Switzerland, Bern sometimes gets overlooked for flashier Swiss cities like Zurich and Geneva. But Bern is home to many fun things to do and explore, including a UNESCO World Heritage-listed old town, a towering Gothic cathedral and many museums. Head to Gurten mountain – which can be reached by funicular, by bike or on foot – for sweeping views of the city below.

 

Jungfrau Region
#8 in Best Places to Visit in Switzerland
The Jungfrau Region is the perfect place for first-timers wanting to experience the otherworldly splendor that is the Swiss Alps. But be forewarned: The destination is sky high. Popular attractions like the Jungfraujoch (which features Europe’s highest train station), the Grindelwald-First aerial tram and the First Cliff Walk Presented by Tissot sit at the top of towering peaks. For those who’d rather stick closer to Earth’s surface, prioritize a hike on a lower-level valley path and a visit to the Pfingstegg toboggan.
