Do not be fooled by Switzerland’s size. For this stomping ground of the world’s richest punches way beyond its weight. Give yourself a week if all you want to do is zoom through its idyllic countryside and picture-postcard cities. But for a more wholesome experience, we suggest that you spend 10 days in Switzerland. Allow the lush landscape of Interlaken to stir the inner poet in you and explore the breathtaking vistas of the Swiss Alps. Enjoy melt-in-your mouth cheese and chocolates elevated to an art form in Gruyères, then walk lockstep with the who’s who of the world in Zurich. All the clichés about Switzerland being a picture-perfect destination are true. Prepare to get delighted with our 10-day Switzerland tours below.
