Switzerland - Holiday Tour Packages and Tours
Beyond the icing-topped mountains and the curtain of soft chocolate is a magical holiday destination renowned for its breathtaking landscapes. Switzerland has the Alps in the South, Jura in the northwest, and rolling hills in between.
It is a perfect place for a vacation the whole year round. People from other parts of the world visit Switzerland to cool off during winter, and to commune with nature during summer. And most of them stay during spring and fall too. But one of the most visited features of this country is the Gruyere cheese found in Gruyères.
Bordered by Austria, France, Germany, and Italy, Switzerland has a vast amount of cultural variety – even visiting the towns bordered by these countries gives the feeling of being in another place! Getting to and from different destinations is a breeze as well thanks to the country’s highly efficient public transportation system, be it boats, buses, or trains.
Food also makes up one of the reasons to travel to Switzerland – it’s always fresh and healthy. Indulging in cheese and chocolates doesn’t seem like a bad vacation idea as well!
