Holidays in Swiss Cities

An introduction to Swiss Cities

A holiday to Switzerland and its cities can encompass a wide range of sights and sounds. And in a country where unspoilt natural beauty rubs shoulders with 21st-century cool, it won't be difficult to find a region to suit your fancy.

If the Alps top your Swiss wish list, then Zurich should come a close second. With its variety and scenery within a stone's throw of the famed mountains, it's easy to enjoy all of Switzerland's northwest. So why not venture down from the Alps and take in some of Zurich's highlights? They're all here – the Opera House, Grossmunster Church and the Swiss National Museum to name but a few. Better yet, the shopping and the nightlife's not half bad either!

Elsewhere, if you're after the ultimate in Swiss cosmopolitanism, then Geneva's the place to be. Commonly thought of as the smallest metropolis in the world, it also boasts the country's largest lake – the aptly named Lake Geneva. And, at over 223 square miles, there's certainly plenty of it to enjoy. Couple this with various points of interest around the city, including the United Nations office, the botanical gardens and the nearby Olympic Museum, and you'll be broadening your horizons in no time.

Or why not take in the lesser known, but equally fascinating city of Basel - Switzerland's oldest university town? Here you get the very best in modern art and architecture with attractions ranging from the Doll's House Museum to the Swiss Architecture Museum.

Perhaps best of all though, no matter what city break you choose to do in Switzerland, you'll find an often eclectic mix of culture, history, natural beauty and fine food and drink.
