    Advantages Advantages Beautiful country

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Quite expensive and very cold in winter

    The last eighteen years Switzerland was my home, so I should be an expert on this theme. Let’s see what I can tell you about this beautiful country. Weather: Spring/Summer: Switzerland is a few degrees Centigrade cooler than England, except the region next to Italy – Tessin. In all other counties it is between 12 and 24 degrees during this seasons, in Tessin it is between 14 and 28 degrees. Autumn/Winter: This seasons are quite cool, especially in the skiing-regions (Davos, Arosa, Verbier, Nendaz are some of the biggest – and dearest). Temperatures vary from minus 10 up to 10 degrees ... more

    Advantages Advantages Excellent scenery, very safe and people are friendly.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Extremely expensive

    While I was in Europe earlier this year, I stopped over in Switzerland for the last two weeks of my trip to see some of my relatives. This wasn't the first time that I had been in Switzerland but I don't particularly remember my last time because I was fairly young. I certainly forgot how great in a lot of aspects this country was. Just driving from the airport was a very pleasant experience because the countryside is like something out of a picture book. And this was only the beginning. Weather Since I was in Switzerland at the beginning of February the weather was expectedly cold and snowy ... more

    Advantages Advantages Breath taking

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Money taking!

    I have visited alot of Europe, although not nearly as much of it as I would like to visit, but so far on my travels, Switzerland is the most beautiful place I have ever been to. I am not about to launch into an essay of the type I usually write about places I have visited, as I admit that I don't know as much as perhaps you would like to know about the place, as I went there five years ago at the tender age of 15. However, it is the one place that has had such an impact on me, that it is a dream of mine to return. Contrary to popular belief, Switzerland is not only a holiday destination for ... more

    Advantages Advantages The scenery is fabulous, and the people are friendly

    Disadvantages Disadvantages But you can't understand what they're saying, and it's not cheap!

    I have had the pleasure of visiting Switzerland several times in the last few months, the border is only 2 hours to the south of Heidelberg, and although this is definitely a very expensive country to spend time in, it is well worth a visit! First and foremost, the scenery is generally stunning, as Switzerland is effectively the Alps... Basel, the city right on the border with France and Germany, sits on a plain at the foothills of this mountain range but as soon as you get to the southern side of the city, the peaks loom up out of the mist, and the main motorway cuts right through the valleys ... more

    Advantages Advantages the best scenery in the world

    Disadvantages Disadvantages among the most expensive viewpoints in the world, if not physically fit for prolonged hikes

    Definitely the best stop on my recently completed European tour, the Berner Oberland region can probably be labeled among the best that Switzerland has to offer. Having lived in the country for some nine years, I reserve the right to fully justify this (seemingly rash) elevation of the region to among Switzerland’s finest holiday destinations. We had originally planned to visit Interlaken, 1.5 hours from Bern by train. However, Interlaken is famous for its adventure activities, and was thus packed with tourists on the day we arrived there, July 12, 2001. Our desire for a more isolated ... more
