Greetings, fellow wanderers,
Embark with me on a journey to the heart of Eruope, where snow-capped peaks, pristine lakes, and charming villages paint a picture of timeless beauty — welcome to Switzerland. Its cities contain medieval quarters with landmarks like capital Bern's Zytglogge clock tower and Lucerne's wooden chapel bridge. The country is also known for its ski resorts and hiking trails.
◇Things to do in Switzerland
☆ Visit the Chapel Bridge and Water Tower
The Chapel Bridge is a wooden pedestrian bridge that spans the Reuss River in the city of Lucerne. The Bridge is named after the nearby St. Peter's Chapel that was built in 1333. The Bridge is also one of the oldest wooden bridges in Europe. One of the characteristics of the Chapel Bridge is the triangular paintings hanging below its roof that depict events from the history and legends of Lucerne.
The Water Tower is a part of the bridge that stands on water. The Tower is older than the bridge and was used as a prison and archive. Although the Tower is not open to the public, it is still a beautiful site to see.
☆ Visit the Swiss National Museum
The Swiss National Museum holds a collection on tue cultural history, craftsmanship, and artworks of Switzerland from its beginnings to the present day.
☆ Go on a tour to the Rhine Falls
The Rhine Falls is a breathtaking beauty and the largest plain waterfall in Europe. The Falls are located on the High Rhine at Neuhausen am Rheinfall Village on the north of Switzerland. The Rhine's waters flow at the rate of 23 meters over a breadth of 150 meters.
There are green zones in/near the Rhine which are for swimming and public use, however, swimming in the Rhine is usually recommended for very good swimmers due to its powerful currents.
☆ Experience Mount Pilatus
The mountain of Pilatus towers above the region with its 2,128 meters in height. The mountain is a source of mystical discoveries and is home to places of natural beauty that are steeped in legend and lore.
You can reach the mountain from Lucerne via the gondola lift and aerial cable car and from Alpnachstad with the world's steepest rack-railroad, aerial cable car and bus. The trip can also be combined with various types of sports or hiking tours.
