Switzerland

Pros: Great adventures, tons of college kids
Cons: Lack of culture, tons of college kids

In the last few years Interlaken has become a haven for American travellers looking to soak in the sun and have a more casual European experience. This is a young city, geared to the Generation X tourist trade that has become so dominant in Western...

Pros: Painted murals
Cons: Lots of tourists

This little town of 2,000 has over one million visitors per year. Located in the north east, Stein am Rhein is right on the Rhein river and only 2km from the German border.

Pros: Weather can be tricky to judge when visiting altitudes.
Cons: Scenery, scenery, scenery, scenery, scenery, and more scenery.

If you're going to Europe and want scenery, make sure you visit the Bernese Oberland. More specifically, you should go to the region that is about 30 minutes south of Bern on the autobahn that heads toward Thun, Spiez, and Interlaken. The autobahn ends...

Pros: Gruyeres, Leysin, Juanpass, the food, the scenery, the people.
Cons: None come to mind!

I have never been snow skiing. I think that I have a snowskier inside me waiting to be discovered, though. I've had two wonderful vacations in ski resorts in the SUMMERTIME, but never while there was snow on the ground.

My most recent...

Pros: Fastnacht, city tours, region
Cons: none

While Zurich is a Swiss city with multicultural charm, Basle (http://www.bsonline.ch/english/index.cfm) is even more interesting due to it's surrounding area at the German and French border. If your trip to Switzerland is not only about great skiing or...

Pros: Old World Charm, Great Winter Christmas Markets
Cons: None

If you are looking to get away from the crowds and off the beaten path, I highly recommend going to St. Gallen for the opportunity to experience and enjoy some old world Swiss charm. We flew on Swissair to Zurich and through checked our luggage on the...

Pros: Beautiful scenery, clean, hospitable
Cons: A little expensive

Switzerland is breathtakingly beautiful, and can also be a little rugged when off the beaten path. Bring excellent shoes with inner sole support - a good pair of shoes there will cost you a great deal more than a similar pair back home. When you're not...

Pros: Very exciting and adventurous
Cons: Not appropriate for small children, icy conditions can be dangerous.

A friend from Glarus invited our family to come go sledding with theirs. We arrived at our destination with our sleds expecting the typical American sledding experience. We knew we had missed something when our friend approached our car with one of his...

Pros: amazing scenery, good exchange rate, great food, great skiing
Cons: i had to go home, fell off a rental bike due to poor maintenance

First off, the exchange rate makes a trip here very affordable. I left on a friday night, and arrived saturday morning and departed again friday afternoon. I traveled with 5 other friends/family and my entire bill including hotel, airfare, ground...

Pros: An easy to get to place that surprises
Cons: It works only till 4 o'clock so go there in the morning.

On visiting Basel (which is one of the most charming Swiss cities) I was recommended by my friends there to find some time to go to the remains of an ancient roman city. That was Augusta...

Pros: High Alp Scenery, no cars, down comforters, cheese fondue
Cons: a little pricey

If you want to feel good about life go to the Bernese Oberland - it is one of the most peaceful and beautiful places in the world. We recently returned from a trip to this part of Switzerland and I recommend it without reservation. If you're...

Pros: gorgeous; great cheese and chocolate; snow and water sports
Cons: precarious geo-political/military location

As one who has travelled to 17 countries, I still maintain that Switzerland is the most beautiful country to which I have ever been. The majestic Alps, the lovely green valleys, the quaint architecture, the refreshing bodies of water such as Lake...

Pros: walking
Cons: none

I have been to Switzerland about three times now and I have to say it is probably one of my favorites. I drove to Switzerland from Germany and took the mountain route, where you get to see probably the most spectacular and breathtaking scenary. We made...

Pros: Beautiful, Untouched
Cons: Not great winter weather, unless you are there to ski.

I lived in Switzerland for two years, and quickly got tired of the very touristic towns, such as Lugano, Zurich, and Interlaken. If you want to get a bit more Swiss charm, try these places:
1) Lake Como - borders Italy. Very Italian part of...

Pros: scenery, Swiss food, quaint towns, history
Cons: None if you really enjoy travelling--it is exhausting, but as our guide said, you can rest at home.

Heaven on earth--that is Switzerland, for it has it all. If you love scenery, you will constantly be oh-ing and ah-ing at each turn. I said it so much that I tried to be quiet, but could not stop myself. Waterfalls cascaded everywhere and cold...
