Is it possible to visit Switzerland without touring the Alps? The mostly-mountainous country boasts some beautiful views and walks through the simply indescribable landscapes, which look like they have fallen straight out of a picture book. If winter sports are for you, skiing and snowboarding are plentiful, as are mountain hikes and opportunities for wildlife-spotting. Switzerland boasts more than a thousand mountain lakes, perfect for hiring a rowboat or taking a walk around. Glaciers and waterfalls finish off the scenery perfectly - it really is a winter wonderland.
But Switzerland is not just the Alps and perfect forests and serene lakes. Zürich is a global city, located in the north of the country, close to the German border with a surprisingly low amount of high-rise buildings. Home to many museums and galleries, such as the Zürich Museum of Art or the Swiss National Museum, Zürich is a hotspot for those wanting to soak up some culture, or sample some world-class cuisine.
