Everywhere in Switzerland is worth a visit; however, here is a round-up of the top 20 places to visit in Switzerland that will have you jetting off to the European haven in a flash.

Lake Geneva (Lac Léman)

Perhaps the most obvious, but certainly one of the most picturesque parts of Switzerland is situated in the stunning city of Geneva. This crescent-shaped lake, shared between both France and Switzerland, is right in the heart of the diplomatic center of the country.

• The sun glistening on the water is truly a sight to behold.
• It is optimally enjoyed while sipping a glass of Swiss wine on one of its ‘sparkling’ beaches.

Bern

Switzerland’s capital city is beautiful all year round. Even in the winter, Bern is considered one of the most scenic places to visit.

• It offers both medieval architecture dating back to the 12th century and palaces.
• The iconic Aare River features an amazing turquoise hue, resulting from the rock minerals in which the ice and snow in the Alps melt.

Jungfraujoch

This impressive mountain range is typical of the Swiss landscape, and its monumental size makes it one of the most outstanding scenes in Switzerland, standing at around 1400 meters in altitude.
