I’m back from a week in Switzerland and I wanted to share my 10 favorite things about Switzerland. While I’m at it, I thought I’d share some of the things that annoyed me too!
1. The Swiss Alps
– Schilthorn
– Jungfrau
– Car Free
– Honesty Shop
– Snow in May!
– Clean Air
2. Best trains in Europe!
3. Train stations
4. Lots of cable cars!
5. Free and delicious water from the tap
– 1200 public fountains in Zurich
6. Pastries
7. Clean and mostly free bathrooms
8. Swiss travel pass
– Don’t need to buy tickets
– Gets you in to almost everything
9. Hiking
– Well signed
– Well groomed
– Take a cable car up and hike downhill
10. Cows and their bells!
Annoyances:
– Everything closes so early!
– Everything is closed on Sunday
– Nothing to do at night
– Food is super expensive
– Restaurants that charge for water (it’s free at the fountain!)
– Not enough A/C
– Towels for “rent” at the Thermalbad Hot Spring
