for this list we're looking at towns and landmarks that make switzerland one of europe's
most treasured destinations number 10 chilean castle europe is known for its dreamy castles and
switzerland is home to some of the most enchanting chilean castle or chateau de chile may be the best
of course there's its medieval architecture which served as inspiration for prince eric's castle
in disney's the little mermaid and the view only adds to the fairytale ambience
facing lake geneva between montreux and villeneuve chilean has been cited as switzerland's most
visited historic monument attracting throngs of spectators annually it's also among europe's most
visited castles overall tourists can explore the courtyards great halls and bedrooms
and chilean provides a vantage point to gaze out at the mountains that's hard to compete with
number nine young fryok speaking of mountains the alpine ranges are undeniably among switzerland's
primary allures in the bernese alps few sites stick out with as much majesty than young freyak
we mean that almost literally as young froyok is marketed as the top of europe at an elevation of
over 10 000 feet while it's technically not the country's highest point the top of europe complex
near its peak does take tourism to new elevations with the ice palace glacier plateau and various
shops the area also encompasses europe's highest railway and post office this mountain pass serves
as a link between the yonfra and munch mountains youngfriyoki is the place to be though especially
to gaze upon the sphinx observatory number 8 lusang located near the swiss plateau's southern
slope luzon is surrounded by striking vistas from the swiss alps to the savoy alps to lake geneva
apart from the natural scenery the main attraction is arguably the olympic museum recognized as the
olympic capital lusan opened this museum in 1993 boasting over 10 000 items some of which go back
to the 19th century you'd be hard-pressed to find a more impressive collection of olympic relics
in the world and given its close proximity to the alps luzon isn't a bad place for seasoned
skiers to train for the gold if you're in the mood for something more laid back lusan delivers
with great sites like the historic cathedral the lakeside usher resort and the old town number 7.
lucerne central switzerland's most popular city liserna is as heavenly as urban playgrounds get
lightly touched by the passage of time the city features legendary landmarks like
the chapel bridge which was constructed from wood in the 14th century and rebuilt with love
following a fire in the 1990s you'll also want to pay tribute at the lion monument
which honors swiss guards who gave up their lives in battle to absorb as much of lucerna as possible
in one sitting take the railway to the top of mount pilatus at more than five thousand feet
this massive overlooks lucerna in all its glory on the whole lucerna strikes the ideal balance
between europe's historic architecture and natural splendor number six interlaken interlaken has
everything one could desire in a summer paradise majestic mountains to hike luxurious lakes to
dive in and an old-fashioned town that shows off switzerland at its most aesthetically inviting
hardcore provides the most sweeping observation point with views of intel aiken and unteshin at
more than four thousand feet of course paragliding is another exhilarating way to see the green hills
interlaken is comfortably nestled between two refreshing spots to swim lake tun and
lake breein's or perhaps you'd prefer to see the turquoise waters aboard a boat cruising around the
town you'll be treated to welcoming landmarks like sloshkirsher and rom cathalicia kirchemin the mild
temperatures which usually range between 65 to 82 fahrenheit during the hotter months add to the
summer appeal number five lugano if you're torn between visiting switzerland and italy on your
european vacation lugano's got you covered you're inclined to cross paths with more italian-speaking
residents here than in most other swiss towns outside of language the italian inspiration
carries over to the food quaint buildings and lakeshore views the surrounding lake lugano and
mountains like monte san salvatore make for one of the atmospheric settings in all of switzerland
on a boat ride you can get an especially exquisite gander at the village of gandria
venturing deeper into the town you'll be drawn to meticulously constructed landmarks
like lugano cathedral the water is where you'll spend most of your trip though whether cruising or
lounging number four zurich switzerland's largest city zurich is known for its banks and other
financial offices as such it shouldn't come as a surprise that zurich is one of the world's three
most expensive cities to live in along with paris and hong kong walking down its streets observing
structures like the grossman stair church and prime tower you can feel zurich's wealthy aura
while you might not be able to afford a permanent residence or say a summer home zurich is the
definition of a nice place to visit it's also the definition of culture with museums that host
modern art and showcase swiss history the city is especially rich with waterside views
from lake shuriketoon lindenhof hill to the limat river you can't put a price on these sites number
three the matahorn we're sure you're familiar with the matahorn bobsleds ride at disneyland
while we can't guarantee that you'll encounter the abominable snowman at the actual matahorn you'll
be more than satisfied with the mountain itself bordering switzerland and italy the matahorn is
distinguished by its pyramid-like shape at 692 feet this mammoth mountain dominates all
surrounding locales with such a daunting presence it makes sense that the matahorn was among the
most well-known alpine mountains to be climbed people are a little less intimidated nowadays
as almost 3 000 people ascend the matterhorn annually zermatt matahorn is also a popular
resort for skiing snowboarding and other winter sports although it's probably best to keep the
bobsleds in anaheim number two geneva if lugano is the missing link between switzerland and
italy then we guess she could say that geneva truly represents the country's french face in
switzerland's second most popular city more than 70 of geneva's citizens live with french as their
primary language geneva overflows with lakeside sites worthy of comparison to the french riviera
although not quite as warm the city is defined by lake geneva with jedu fountain serving as a
beacon of inspiration geneva is just as renowned for its lush parks most notably jardin anglais
where you can see the famed flower clock geneva may be mostly genteel but it's got it going on in
many ways before we get to our top pick here are a few honorable mentions the rhine falls
best experienced on a boat saint moritz a resort town that's all about high living
number one burn switzerland's capital or federal city burn is illustrious for many things as the
animal on its flag and coat of arms indicates the beren groban bear pit is among the city's most
unique attractions while the bears give ben its thunderous roar the historic old city supplies
its beating heart a unesco world heritage site this central district features landmarks
like the zitglogger clock tower the berne monster cathedral and more than 100 fountains and there's
more culture to soak up at burns various museums the most recognizable of these is the zentrum paul
clee which is distinguished by its wavy structure great cycling routes also make vern one of the
best places in switzerland to experience bike riding with beauty bicycles and of course bears
