Switzerland-

hello everyone,

    I have to admit, Switzerland was one of our favorite places to visit.






 Switzerland at a glance:

  Name: Switzerland and Confoederatio Helvetica
  Location: Central Europe (GMT+1)
  Capital: Bern City
  Currency: Swiss Francs (CHF)




Interlaken


  1. Interlaken is a resort town on the Aare River, between lakes Thun and Brienz in central Switzerland, and gateway to the Bernese Oberland. In a dramatic setting with vistas of the Alps, it has long been an international destination. Summer is high season, but it’s also a natural base for winter sports, serving as a transportation center for the surrounding mountain regions.





 


  1. Lucerne -

    Lucerne, a compact city in central Switzerland, sits amid snowcapped mountains on the north end of Lake Lucerne. With its colorful Altstadt (Old Town) and 14th-century Museggmauer city walls, covered bridges including the iconic Kapellbrücke and spired, turreted buildings, it's the storybook image of a Swiss town. It’s also gateway to hiking and skiing destinations in the nearby Rigi and Pilatus mountains and the Alps.


  2. Chapel Bridge a wooden bridge first erected in the 14th century.
