Switzerland, here I come!

Whatever corner of the planet you’ll be coming from, packing your things and travelling miles and miles to take a trip to one of the richest countries in the world would all be worth your time, energy and money.

The landscape of Switzerland is breathtakingly-awesome. Many would agree that every inch of this country is visually wonderful. The view of the sunset alone in the Swiss Alps will make you stay longer. An ideal base for a tour would be Interlaken (itself, a well-known tourist destination) since it’s situated in the central part of Switzerland. From there you could begin exploring this country in Western Europe. Of course, you may opt for Zurich, a pride of Switzerland since it’s regarded as the cleanest city in the world.

Teeming with only about 7.5 million, Switzerland is a peace-loving country who don’t take sides on a war (and the country has been doing that since 1815), and is home to known international organizations such as The World Trade Organization (WTO) and, who will fail to recognize, The Red Cross.
It’s noteworthy to tell also that the Swiss people are very accommodating to strangers. Don’t worry if the language that you speak unfortunately does not belong in their four national languages (Italian, German, French and Romansh). They will still exert effort to be of assistance to you. Talk about being a tourist-friendly nation!

Now, what might be the things that you should do to experience the beauty and splendor of Switzerland?

For those who are raring to wear their rubber shoes and put their feet on some energizing adventure and show off the sports enthusiast that they are, scenic Switzerland will not disappoint you. Go rock and mountain climbing at Pennine Alps and Benine Alps and at the country’s most famous mountain, Matterhorn. Try canoeing, river rafting and water sailing at Lake Geneva, Lake Constance or at the Rhone River (you may just swim on their waters!). Experience water rappelling or simply take a dip at Lauterbrunnen Valley where you could chose from its 72 (yes, that many) waterfalls. And if you happen to arrive during its winter season, then ski at Arosa or in Geneva. Since that the country is mountainous and has many valleys and terrains that provide a panoramic view of the countryside, you might as well go hiking and prepare to meet and mingle with Swiss locals since hiking is one activity that they are really passionate about.

If tired of walking and running and hopping from one vehicle to another, then why don’t you rent a bicycle and go cycling? Most railway stations have bicycle stations where you can hire one for a small fee.

After all the sightseeing and adventure, what else is there to do but to shop for souvenirs like the popular Swiss army knife and cow’s bells that will be nice and unique as home décor and the famous Swiss cheese and chocolates. Who does not want to bring home one?

Happy trip!
