There is a lot to see and do in Switzerland but unless you’re applying for permanent residency in this incredible country there is absolutely no way you can see it all in one trip. That’s why I made a list of the top things to see and do in this country.

Below are just a few suggestions:

1. GoldenPass Panoramic Train – This ultra-modern train service lets you take in the beautiful sights of the country while you sit back and relax.

2. Chateau de Chillon – Built in the 11th century just off the shore of Lake Geneva, it is one of the most well-kept medieval castles in Europe.

3. Rhine Falls – In Neuhausen just on the German border, you will find these extravagant and gorgeous falls. They are the largest waterfalls in Europe and you can even take a boat ride to the large rock in the center of the stream for some climbing.

And those are just a few suggestions to get you started. See what Switzerland has to offer and leave your cares behind.
