What City in Switzerland Should You Visit?

Culturally vibrant, efficiently run and attractively set at the meeting of river and lake, Zürich is regularly recognised as one of the world's most liveable cities.

Embedded between nearby Alpine peaks and the hilly terrain of the Jura, the French-speaking city of Geneva lies in the bay where the Rhone leaves Lake Geneva and it is known as the city of peace.

Framed by the Aare River, the charming town of Bern is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site, known for its medieval arcades and its many 16th century fountains that feature painted figures.

Lugano, the largest town in the holiday region of Ticino, is not only Switzerland's third most important financial centre and a conference, banking and business centre, but also a town of parks and flowers, villas and sacred buildings.

Lucerne, the gateway to central Switzerland, sited on Lake Lucerne, is embedded within an impressive mountainous panorama and it is known for its preserved medieval architecture.
