SWITZERLAND
Switzerland's most popular.
The 10 most popular things to do in Switzerland - cogwheel railways to the glaciers, lake steamers, chocolate and cheese, and day trips out of the cities. What each one involves and what it costs.
3-hour Geneva chocolate tour with Lake Geneva boat ride. Old Town sights, Jet d’Eau, and 12 award-winning tastings.

Full-day Mt. Titlis and Lucerne Old Town from Zurich. Rotair cable car, glacier cave, Ice Flyer, Cliff Walk, winter snow options.

Tandem paragliding from Interlaken to Beatenberg with Lake Thun and Jungfrau views, a short walk, and a 10–20 minute flight.

Ride the Eiger Express gondola and cogwheel train to Jungfraujoch for Top of Europe views, the Ice Palace, and Sphinx Observatory from Zurich.
“Excellent experience of Switzerland! Our tour guides, Pedro and Dan, were excellent. Charming, funny, friendly, and very clear about the itinerary and where to meet. Even with some traffic on the way back, the trip overall was just over 12 hours in total. At Interlaken, you might end up paying for a public bathroom if…”
Geneva day trip to Chamonix and Mont Blanc, with optional Aiguille du Midi cable car and Mer de Glace ice caves, guided all day.
“This trip is worth doing. The majestic views of Mont Blanc from Aiguille de Midi, getting clicked in the glass box (Step into the Void) and the wonder of Ice Caves at Mer de Glacé is just mind blowing. Chris our tour guide from KeyTours was very helpful and explained everything so well. Got lucky…”
Gondola and cableway to Mt Pilatus, steep cogwheel descent, then a Lake Lucerne boat cruise from Lucerne.
“Title of excursion states Lake Cruise is included - until 10/19 - in small print - the panoramic gondola ride also did not happen. We did enjoy the train ride up & the views from there & our time on Mt Pilatus. We did receive 20 CHF per person - just feel the title of…”
Half-day Zurich highlights with a guided Old Town walk, Lake Zurich ferry, and a cable car to Felsenegg for big alpine views.
“Alison and the driver (George?) did a lovely job providing information, answering questions and navigating the area. Lovely views and taking a ferry and cable ride was quite interesting.”
Prebooked Lake Zurich cruise, a coach-and-old-town highlights loop, and Lindt chocolate tastings plus optional FIFA Museum add-on in one half-day.
“We enjoyed our tour. The guide was thorough and enthusiastic but quietly spoken and the group was HUGE so it was often hard to understand what she was saying. At least two of the stops on the coach were not worth the time. The tour of the old town was not very interesting. The cruise…”
