Description
Find your own journey. Allow your Swiss journey to encompass both the grand vistas and the experiences in between. A stroll through vineyards, a visit to an art museum, or a few days in the mountains can give your trip a personal focus. Lonely Planet Switzerland helps you explore the options and choose which experiences will form the framework for your holiday.
Experiences to look forward to. Snow-capped mountains, Picasso artworks, and vineyard walks are among the experiences highlighted in the book. It provides itineraries, maps, and practical advice to support you in combining various interests on the same trip. The interior images also offer an impression of the introduction to Switzerland and information on when to travel, as part of your preparations.
Who is this guide suitable for? Choose this country guide when you desire a broad starting point for your Swiss journey and wish to compare several areas. It is suitable for planning a longer trip and for concentrating your stay around a few locations, offering a good balance between active days, culture, and more relaxed stops.
From inspiration to your own plan. Use the guide before departure to choose a few experiences you really want, and see them in the context of the rest of the trip. A route with fewer stops can give you more time to get to know each place. Browse it with your travel companions, compare ideas, and find a balance between what you want to fit in and what you want time to experience. Feel free to leave some days less fixed, so the plan also has room for what you discover along the way.
A physical travel guide is great to return to when discussing the next leg of the trip. Find an idea you noted, use the map as a basis for the conversation, and let the plans develop as you get to know the destination. The book can follow the trip from the first ideas at home to the choices you make along the way, and become a keepsake to leaf through once you’re back.
