Visiting Switzerland
Switzerland is known for some of the best skiing in the world. However there are many more fun-filled activities you will enjoy in Switzerland. You can take a hot air balloon ride over Lake Geneva, enjoy a romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride through the countryside, or spend the day shopping in the Old Town of Bern.
For those who love the outdoors, skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing and ice climbing are popular throughout the country.
If you love to bicycle, the Eastern Switzerland countryside is ideal with its numerous trails. For art, history and culture, don't miss out on the monasteries throughout the central portion of the country.
The country is picturesque with its Alpine scenery, beautiful lakes and wonderful mountain chalets.
If you are visiting Switzerland, bring a big dictionary! In Zürich, German is the most common language, while in Geneva, it's French. If you head to Lugano and the south of Switzerland, you should brush up on your Italian.
Switzerland is considered very safe country, but you should take the same precautions as you do visiting any other country. Don't carry a lot of cash with you. Leave your expensive jewelry at home. And stay alert in crowded areas, particularly at night.
While in Switzerland, book your European vacation home rentals at a Swiss chalet, villa, house or apartment. These accommodations will allow you to have the comforts of home and range in price from the affordable to the luxurious.
