Switzerland - the mere name of this picturesque country invokes irresistible images of snow-capped Swiss Alps, glacial lakes, quaint mountainside villages, the surreal shades of greens dominating the countryside, ancient castles, lavish vineyards and what not! Everything just seems otherworldly and plucked out of a postcard. A strong reason why this central European country has long been considered a classic tourist destination across the globe is because of its magnificent contrasts between adventure, exploration and relaxation. It is a country where peace prevails in every corner, nature and city blend harmoniously and adventure, excitement and culture take the front seat. With more than half the country being covered by the Alps, Lake Constance in the north, Lake Geneva in the south and its fair share of urban cities like Zurich, Switzerland tourism is booming more than ever. Further, the country sharing its borders with five of the most wonderful countries - France, Germany, Italy, Austria and Liechtenstein, puts it high among every traveller’s bucket list.

Zurich: Country’s beating heart
Switzerland’s largest city that is set amidst the abundance of nature and enclosed by the magnificent Alps, Zurich appears to be the ideal retreat for travel fanatics. One of the most favourite cities in the country, it is considered ideal for those who adore art and aesthetics, culture and architecture or fashion and shopping. The vibe here is unlikely to find in any other Swiss city; there are quaint and quiet streets set against the Alpine backdrop and a beautiful lakefront and then there is a rush of restaurants, bars and cafes, concert halls and galleries that make you acquainted with the real buzz of the city centre. It is also the financial centre of the country and proudly holds the benefit of being the most competitive economy in Europe. Needless to say, with such a scenic spot to call home and multitudes of modern-day attractions, the quality of life and tourism in this city are at its roaring heights.
Bern: The medieval Swiss capital
Resting along the shores of the unspoiled Aare River, the capital city of Switzerland is one of the cities that has still managed to keep its historic charm intact while fixing its other foot into modernity. While the medieval air of the city with its fountains with fantastic folk figures on their tops, sandstone facades, narrow streets and their cobbled paths, cellar shops and historic towers are too good to miss, an array of bars, clubs and restaurants in the city centre make Bern a perfectly balanced and interesting city to explore.
Geneva: The urban metropolis with a tinge of small-town vibes
Whether it’s a walk along a quiet lake, a ride on the boat, a sun-drenched café terrace in the Old Town, or the restaurants and shopping centres exuding a sense of luxe, Geneva is sure to take your heart away at the very first sight. A key centre for arts, culture and home to most of the multinational corporations and associations, Geneva is another of Switzerland’s main destinations and a city with rich international flavour and medieval heritage.
