This is definitely the best part of Switzerland..been coming here yearly since 2022 and it never fails to mesmerize me everytime I come. This place is a must visit when you come to Switzerland, a piece of heaven on earth I would say. My chopper ride together with my better half was the best, flying and stopping on top and get the best pictures of swiss alps by myself was a one of a kind experience.

I felt truly blessed to get a beautiful day as this. Jungfrau feels like a piece of paradise on earth. Immense credit goes to the railway builders who made it possible for us frail little mortals to enjoy a breathtaking, therapeutic journey that would otherwise be out of reach.

Easily the best view of our switzerland trip. The air gets pretty thin up there though and we were a bit lightheaded, but it could've also been cause the view was breathtaking.

I'm sure this would be breathtaking on a clear day, but note to take the weather forecast with some scepticism. A very expensive place to visit with no view.

The views!!!!!!! Unmatched from taking the train up! Absolutely incredible passing through the little stops along the way! There is a restaurant and bar at the top! Too cool to be able to stand in the snow at the top! Never disappointed with the views up here!

Check the weather before going up. You can go check the webcams on their official site. The view is stunning but at the same time freezing cold. The queue for taking photo with the Swiss flag is quite long. Make sure you wear enough to stay outdoor for a long time.

Oeschinen Lake

Lake
Nature & Parks
Bodies of Water
Oeschinen Lake, also known as Oeschinensee, is a stunning turquoise-colored mountain lake located in Switzerland. It offers a range of activities including hiking trails, winter skiing, and ice fishing. Accessible by foot from Kandersteg within 1.5 hours or via a cable car operating in both summer and winter seasons, the lake is surrounded by breathtaking scenery.
My visit to Oeschinensee was truly unforgettable. I started my journey by taking the train to Kandersteg station, then followed the signs which eventually led me to the ticket counter for the cable car. If you have a travel pass, you can get a discounted ticket—which was a nice bonus! I went in the afternoon on a weekday, so it wasn’t crowded at all. After taking the cable car up, I was completely stunned by the view. The area is surrounded by majestic mountains, and the atmosphere is peaceful and refreshing. There are several walking trails to choose from—some are easy and suitable for children and older visitors, while others are moderately difficult or even ideal for those who enjoy hiking or trail walking. The weather up there was perfect, and I quickly fell in love with the place. As I continued walking, I reached the lake itself—a breathtaking turquoise color that words can hardly describe. Some tourists were kayaking on the lake, while others found cozy spots to picnic and relax. I went alone on this trip, which was still a wonderful experience, but I couldn’t help thinking how much more special it would be to share this moment with friends or someone I love.
PREEN Z — Google review
Truly magical experience and views! One of my favourite places- strongly recommend to visit early in the morning (before the crowds). Most people stay at the lake itself but the beautiful views are high above- go for the Panoramic hike trail (it’s marked as hard but we had no issues even tho we’re not an active hikers-note that’s it is not suitable for kids,strollers or small dogs as the path in some places are quite narrow and steep ). The trail is circle one- you start with some climbing and at the end you go down to the lake and back to the main point with the restaurant (this way you’ll see everything - it’s great to do your lunch at one of the spots above the lake)
Stanka B — Google review
Fantastic day spent at the lake! Most beautiful landscape I have been to ever. Renting a boat was a special experience- an absolute must. You need to have cash if you want to visit a small cafe (or their WC) on the top.
Elena — Google review
Beautiful and rewarding hike! We decided to hike up to the lake and truly enjoyed it (hiking shoes are highly recommened). The trail is very pleasant, not too difficult – it took me about 90 minutes to reach the top. The entire way, we were accompanied by breathtaking views of the valley and surrounding mountains and waterfalls. And then the lake… simply magical – a soft blue color framed by mountains that look like a painting. There are benches all around the lake, so you can sit, relax, and soak in the stunning scenery. The walk down was much easier and took us only 50 minutes. Highly recommended!
Polina Z — Google review
Though climb, but do-able for those who are affraid of hights. Walked from Kandersteg towards the see (lake) and back. Great restaurant near the lake with great goulash. Tip: Walk to the viewpoint 500 mtrs from the restaurant to have a great view on 30% more snow.
J. N — Google review
We loved visiting this lake — the view is absolutely superb, one of the most beautiful landscapes in Switzerland. There is a bit of walking involved at both parts of the journey: first, a short walk from Kandersteg to reach the cable car station, and then another easy hike at the top from the cable car to get to the lake itself. But the whole route is very scenic and very doable. Tickets for the cable car were super easy to purchase and everything was well-marked and convenient. Once you arrive at the lake, the turquoise water surrounded by dramatic mountains is just breathtaking. We took tons of photos and just enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. Truly worth the effort — highly recommended!
Leonis M — Google review
(Late August) It's about a 20min walk from the train to the lift. At one point during the walk you have a beautiful view of the mountians while on large green grass field. The ride up the gondola is about 10mins. During peak time get to the gondola early. There's a nice simple food place when you first get up where you have amazing views of the mountians. Then it's a 20min all down hill walk to the gorgeous lake. There are a few different food options. Despite it being crowded there was enough room to have a spot to sit on the grass. Instead of walking back to the gondola, which would've taken us atleast 45mins since its all uphill, we decided to walk all the way down. It took us about 50mins to walk down and then 15 more mins of flat walking to get back to the train. There is also a free shuttle available that will take you from the gondolas down to the lake and back.
Jordan T — Google review
The lake itself was spectacular! It is better seen in person than in photos. There were a few waterfalls around the lake and our favorite was was rowing the rented boat to reach to the opposite side so we could had a closer look to these waterfalls in the photos. There were lots of people, swimming, sunbathing, hiking and boating. It's definitely a must see when you're around the area.

Zytglogge

Mentioned on 
+94 other lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
In the heart of Bern's Old Town, the Zytglogge, or Clock Tower, is a historic landmark dating back to 1405. This 12-meter-high tower features mechanical moving figures that come to life on the hour, including a parade of bears, a jester, a golden rooster, and Chronos, the god of time.
Zytglogge is one of the most iconic historical landmarks in the old town of Bern, Switzerland. With centuries of history behind it, this ancient clock tower is not only a stunning piece of architecture but also a living testament to the city’s rich cultural heritage. One of the most fascinating features is the mechanical show that takes place every hour — a charming spectacle of bells and figures that draws the attention of visitors and locals alike. Surrounded by cobblestone streets and beautifully preserved medieval buildings, the area around Zytglogge feels like stepping back in time. Zytglogge is more than just a photo spot — it’s a place where you can truly feel the heartbeat of history in the middle of the city. If you visit Bern, this landmark is absolutely worth seeing.
Xuan T — Google review
Zytglogge in Bern is one of those places that catches your eye even if you’re not looking for it. It’s an old clock tower right in the middle of the old town, and the first time I saw it, I just stood there staring for a bit—it’s that striking. The big astronomical clock face, the golden details, and the little figures that move when the hour strikes—it all has this old-world charm that makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. What I loved most was how it’s just part of the street, not tucked away or behind gates. Locals walk by like it’s nothing, but as a visitor, you really appreciate how much history is packed into that spot. The street around it is full of arcades, little shops, cafés, and those classic Bernese buildings with red roofs and green shutters. I caught the clock show on the hour, and though it’s short and simple, it was fun to see the mechanical figures come to life. If you're wandering through Bern, you’ll probably pass it anyway, but it’s worth pausing for. Zytglogge isn’t just a landmark—it’s a lovely little moment of Bern’s character and history.

Old Town Bern is picturesque both in the day and night. Can take Bus 12 from main square to Bear Park and return. If you stay in hotel, can get activation code for free bus ride in Bernapp. Else, can park at Casino car park but it's expensive.
Peter H — Google review
Visiting the Zytglogge was a highlight of my trip to Bern. This 13th-century clock tower is not just a beautiful landmark, it’s a piece of living history. I arrived a few minutes before the hour and was amazed by the mechanical figures and the precise chime—it feels like stepping back in time. The surrounding Old Town streets are charming, full of cafés and little shops, making it a perfect spot to explore after watching the show. Whether you love history, architecture, or just a great photo opportunity, the Zytglogge is a must-see in Bern.
Bou B — Google review
Walking through Bern’s Old Town, I stumbled upon Bim Zytglogge and was instantly charmed. The area around the clock tower feels like a slice of history—cobblestone streets, medieval buildings, and the hourly show of mechanical figures on the astronomical clock. It’s a lively spot, with locals and tourists mingling, and plenty of cafés and shops nearby.

Its a big old clock. There is some entertaining bits on the west side every hour but dont expect anything dramatic like a giant cuckoo clock. Pretty cool though for an 800 year old piece of work.

Zytglogge (Clock Tower) was built in 1220 as part of Bern’s western gate, becoming a civic clock tower after the city expanded. The astronomical clock was added in 1530 with moving figures such as bears, a jester, and Chronos, which perform each hour.

Visitors can explore the cobbled streets, small wish fountains, and preserved statues while browsing through quaint bookstores and cafes.

Many fountains to see and take pics with and of course the famous clock tower!

Ebby T — Google review
In my opinion, Bern's old town is one of the most beautiful and compact in the world. Its specialty is the arcades formed by the old buildings lining the streets. The arcades are lined with shops, restaurants, bars, art galleries, etc. It is worth walking around the old town, also along the banks of the Aare River, and climbing to the Rosengarten to admire the magnificent view of the old town. Every time I visit Bern I feel amazed.

Love the iconic fountain and huge clock tower, as well as all the cute trains and buses that came in different shapes and sizes 🚂🚌🇨🇭❤️.

You are unwinding the clock back 500 years ago to experience the lifestyle in medieval time. The old street (made of sandstones), clock tower, cathedral surrounded by garden and river are breathtaking.

Beautiful and quaint little old town in the capital of Switzerland! I got there early so the streets were rather empty and it was nice taking a slow stroll down this street. The street was lined with familiar brands/shops, the trams ran down both sides and I almost felt like I was transported back to medieval times - except the modern shops bring me back to the present. If you walk further down, you’ll end up at the Bear Pit, another little tourist attraction of Bern.

Sights & Landmarks
Monuments & Statues
BearPark, located in Bern, is a hilly park that houses several brown bears, which are the city's symbol and have been since the 12th century. The park incorporates a 19th-century bear pit where the bears used to roam before being moved to their own spacious park in 2009. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the old town from the elevated Rose Garden above BearPark and from the platform of the cathedral tower.
I’m usually not a fan of places that keep animals in captivity—but Bear Park in Bern was a real surprise. The setting is absolutely beautiful, nestled beside the river with plenty of space for the bears to roam. They’ve even got access to a natural swimming pool from the river, which was amazing to see. The bears looked healthy, relaxed, and genuinely well cared for—it felt more like a sanctuary than a zoo. Best of all, it wasn’t crowded at all when we visited, and to our surprise, entry is completely free. You can walk right through and observe these magnificent brown bears up close, without any fencing or enclosures getting in the way of the view. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in Bern—it was a highlight of our visit.
Jake M — Google review
An amazing experience and a chance to see some brown bears in real life. Great for kids but also adults who miss their childhood. Right next to the river, the park is both scenic and entertaining.
Nick L — Google review
I recently visited the Bear Park in Bern and it was such a delightful experience! Nestled along the scenic banks of the Aare River, the park offers a peaceful and natural environment where bears roam freely in spacious enclosures that mimic their natural habitat. The bears looked healthy and well cared for, and it was heartwarming to see them play, rest, and interact with their surroundings. The park is free to enter, which makes it a wonderful stop for families, nature lovers, or anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing moment in the city. It’s also just a short walk from the old town, so it’s easy to include in a day of sightseeing. Overall, Bear Park is a beautiful blend of nature, education, and conservation. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bern!
YippieYaYa — Google review
It’s quite astonishing to see a bear park right in the middle of the city — a truly unique setting. The enclosure is spacious, well-designed, and blends beautifully with the natural surroundings along the river. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into making it as comfortable as possible for the bears. Still, it’s a reminder that the animals are in captivity, which can feel a bit bittersweet despite the excellent care they receive.
Akhil M — Google review
The views are quite beautiful, and the bears are adorable, but I feel terrible they don't have more space to roam around in. They did build a little section in the river so when it is hot, the bears can at least cool down and fish :)
Luke L — Google review
Love that they have a bear refuge near the city. They have so much room to roam. I would suggest adding more signs not to feed the bears or be fined. I saw some stupid kid form a different country throw something down in the bear area and the parents didn’t do anything.

We were not able to have a table by the side, with the amazing view as we had not made a reservation. We came here on a whim. We were given 2 other seating options, 1 which we were warned we would be hit by the sun soon and the other on the other side near the kids playground on the high chair stools and table. The waitress who served us was super busy, there was a large party of 10 or so and lots of other small tables she was serving. She did her best to keep everyone happy. There was a bit of a wait time to order. Once the food came, it tasted good. However due to being summer, wasps started to appear and take over. The toilets are inside, downstairs, they were clean. Upon exiting the building we saw a huge amount of salad plates ready to go just sat on the side. Overall, it was good.

Nice restaurant with a beautiful view of the city. In a hot summer day you will not be able to dine inside because it’s extremely hot and there isn’t AC. We dined at the patio and unfortunately were invaded by dozens of flies as soon as our food was received. We prompted to move everything inside. Service is mediocre.

Great place and truly scenery. Quality service and quality food. Thanks to the Chef and team. I’ll repeat the visit whenever back to Bern. If you choose to come from the down town of Bern; be prepared to pull enough energy to walk up thru the hill, which is a nice little warm up and workout before arriving to the restaurant. Also, it’ll be great to spot coupe or bears from the bridge while heading to the restaurant.

The castle's picturesque setting and pointed turrets make it feel like something out of a fairy tale.

We were in the area on vacation and decided to take a train down to Thun and look around. The castle is very prominent on the skyline and looks quite interesting. We walked though the building and looked at the various displays which were well done. Centuries of history briefly summarized. The building itself is the main attraction. We went all the way to the top into the corner towers. The roof structure was amazing. Definitely recommend!

Castle Thun is a must-see when visiting the town! The displays and information are well-curated, making it easy to explore everything in just 2–3 hours. There are also interactive sections, like the wooden architecture exhibit in the attic and rooftop area, and the fascinating collection of ancient armors and weapons. The castle is well-maintained, easy to navigate, and offers a great balance of history and experience.

Worth the trip. The castle is stunning and you can see artefacts of the Old Swiss Confederacy, such as halberds, tapestries and armors. The Knight's room and the room under the roof where particularly stunning. On top of that, 4 towers flanking the roof are accessible and give you wonderful views of the city
Sebastien F — Google review
The basic castle tour was interesting, but I was disappointed to find that there were virtually no period furnishings in any of the rooms. The audio tour aid added tremendously to the understanding of the castle history. Look closely, though, to find the signs which indicate when to use the audio aid. I recommend paying the extra fee to use it. I enjoyed the views from the tower. I paid extra for the special exhibit, which I didn't feel was worth the fee; skip it unless you are interested in forms of medieval punishment.

Definitely do the audio tour if you come here! Beautiful castle with a lot of history and amazing views from the top! No need to book tickets in advance

Thun castle does not match the vibe of other castles of Switzerland like Gruyère castle and Chillion castle. The castle is poor in terms of content and exhibits. Not much to explore inside. The staff is very friendly and there are free locker rooms available to keep your luggage. The best part was the top level of Thun castle from where you get 4 different panoramic views of Thun city and Lake Thun. If you are visiting Thun city then definitely visit this place otherwise skip it. Entry to Thun castle is free with Swiss Travel Pass.

A well presented castle museum that didn't try to overwhelm with lots of displays or info but focused on the key elements that were easy to understand and enjoy

Lake Thun

Mentioned on

Lake
Nature & Parks
Bodies of Water
Lake Thun is a stunning alpine lake located in the Bernese Oberland of Switzerland. It offers a range of activities such as kayaking, boat rentals, hiking trails, and swimming beaches. The town of Interlaken serves as an excellent base for exploring the region, nestled between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz with easy access to the iconic Jungfrau, Monch, and Eiger mountains.
A gorgeous stretch of blue and teal with trees on either side of the water is nothing short of spectacular. I was completely in awe when we got on the boat. The lake was magnificent and the colours were gorgeous. We saw houses on the edge of the lake and mountains hovering near them. There was also a small waterfall somewhere in the middle. But as the evening progressed, the winds became extremely cold to a point where it became intolerable and we had to step inside. The boat itself was quite old, beautiful, and well-maintained. There is a restaurant and a snack bar but you will need to be seated in the dining area to be served. It can get crowded so you may want bring some snacks and beverages for the long ride. P.S. A Swiss Travel Pass is an ideal option to avoid long queues.

Lake Thun is an absolutely stunning and romantic lake! I visited in 2019 with my family, and it was truly a memorable experience. The lake offers breathtaking views, crystal-clear water, and many beautiful picnic spots to relax and enjoy nature. It’s a perfect place for couples and families alike — you’ll surely fall in love with the peaceful vibes and scenic surroundings. One of Switzerland 🇨🇭 most charming lakes! 🌄⛵✨

Lake Thun is absolutely stunning! The serene waters and beautiful surrounding hills create a perfect atmosphere for families.

A dreamlike corner of Switzerland: Lake Thun Switzerland is breathtaking in every way, but Lake Thun has a special kind of magic. Surrounded by mountains, charming villages, and historic castles, it’s the perfect place to disconnect, breathe in fresh air, and marvel at nature. The water has a mesmerizing turquoise color, and every spot looks like it belongs on a postcard. Whether you’re sailing, strolling along the shore, or simply sitting down to take in the view, this lake offers peace and beauty in its purest form.

Lake Thun has absolutely amazing scenery. We spent almost an entire day there and still couldn't get enough. Starting in the morning, we enjoyed the view from St. Beatus Cave, getting a panoramic picture of the lake from above. Then we continued our adventure by ship, circling the lake and savoring every corner. The lake has very clear water, with beautiful typical farmhouses and the Swiss Alps in the background, adding to the picturesque setting. Every corner of the lake was stunning, perfect for healing and taking a break from your busy life.

Baroque castle with guided tours, formal gardens & an exhibition on the history of the Simplon Pass.
Impressive baroque palace in the heart of Brig, built in the 17th century by Kaspar Stockalper. The castle is very well preserved, with beautiful gardens and a peaceful courtyard. Guided tours are interesting, and the views of the town and surrounding mountains make the visit even more special
Marcio R — Google review
The castle's history, from its construction to the present day, is very interesting. The castle garden invites you to linger. I think it must be particularly beautiful in spring and summer.

The castle was closed the day we went to Brig, but the garden itself is worth the visit. It was quiet, a perfect place for a picnic with an astonished view. Toilets are available. Highly recommended

Nice Palace, but without a guide, you can't explore the interior at all. My bf and I ended up sitting out in the gardens feeding sparrows for an hour (which was lovely). Admission is free.
Sonja L — Google review
Late this freezing cold January Sunday afternoon we visited this magnificent 17th century castle in the very center of the old town of Brig, that previously was unknown to us. We were all by ourselves and could enjoy the sun progressively setting on the western facade of the castle with shadows of the naked trees being projected on the pale yellow color of the building. Our only regret was that we had not arranged for a visit to the interior but that will be a good project for a future visit.
Sebastian R — Google review
There was a wedding going on when we arrived, so it felt rude to go in. Can't tell you much about the interior. Spent our time outside in the park. Nice kempt garden with students and kindergartens in all directions, but they were well behaved and not offensive. Lovely views and nice weather. Park at the train station and walk up. Plenty of touristy stuff around the area, so well catered for.
Chris S — Google review
I haven't been inside the castle and only been to the courtyard and outside park of palace. It is an impressive palace and courtyard. If you are in Brig and have 30-45 mins, take a short walk from Bahnof through the old town to the palace. It is totally worth your time. You can have a guided tour for which you will need more time. Hopefully next time, I will be able to do it.

Mountain peak
Outdoor Activities
Ski & Snowboard Areas
Nestled in the heart of the Bernese Alps, Schilthorn is a breathtaking destination that offers an unforgettable experience for both adventure seekers and movie buffs alike. Standing tall at 2,970 meters, this iconic mountain features the renowned revolving restaurant Piz Gloria, which gained fame as Blofeld's lair in the classic James Bond film 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service.' Visitors can reach this stunning summit via cable cars or by hiking through picturesque trails.
Awesome summit. Good services and safe reliable transportation. Highly worth the money for a full day trip. Have a coffee or a drink at the summit but skip the over priced Buffet. Dine at the bottom of the cable cars before you board the train to the last cable car down to valley
Gerard V — Google review
Visiting Schilthorn Piz Gloria was absolutely one of the highlights of my trip. The cable car ride itself was an incredible experience, smooth, comfortable, and offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Swiss Alps. As we ascended, the scenery just kept getting more and more spectacular. At the top, the weather was perfect, which made the whole experience even more magical. The 360° views from Piz Gloria are truly stunning with snow-capped peaks, valleys, and endless mountain ranges that leave you speechless. The Bond-themed touches add a fun and unique twist to the visit, but the natural beauty alone is worth every penny. It’s not just a sightseeing trip, it’s an unforgettable adventure. Between the views, the atmosphere, and the overall experience, I can confidently say this was worth every moment and every cent. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Switzerland!
William S — Google review
Somewhat pricey to take the gondola up to the top, but it's well worth it for the views. There is a bunch of James Bond history and plaquards. But the views alone are breathtaking. You should fefinitely wait for a clear day, othe you'll just be looking at the fog.

Was the filming location of a 007 movie. Granted it is not as high as Jungrafraujoch, but the views are equally fantastic. Highly recommended to make a trip here. There is a rotating restaurant at the tower area also as well that serves very decent buffet lunch.
SL W — Google review
Great experience. The cable car on the first stretch is supposedly the steepest in the world. Remembered to include the 9 Euro cheese / cold cut option, which is served at the revolving Piz Gloria restaurant. It comes with a drink and there was plenty of food to fill us up. And it tasted good, too. So pretty much a no-brainer. The view from the top was great. Unfortunately clouds descended while we were there and it even started to hail. Which kind of added to the whole experience. Some cool James Bond stuff - check out the bathroom mirrors! Unfortunately quite a lot of construction going on, which detracted from the whole experience. Will still give it 5 stars, but probably more like 4.5 due to construction, high cost and a very unpleasant guy in the ticket booth. Everything else was perfect and definitely an experience. Now back in the US and planning on watching On Her Majesty’s Secret Service tonight 😊
Mike O — Google review
My less-than-ideal rating was solely due to the unfortunate timing of my visit. Otherwise, I would have missed the opportunity to go altogether. It was a heavily overcast day, because of that, I skipped exploring Birg and went straight up to Schilthorn instead. On top of the poor weather, Schilthorn was still under construction. After a quick browse through the gift shop, a short walk around the outdoor deck, and a light snack at the restaurant, it was already time to head back down. I’d have to return someday to truly experience the full beauty of this attraction. Hopefully on a clear day and once the construction is finally complete.
Cat H — Google review
The views are priceless and it's definitely worth it to go! However, be warned that getting around through the construction is extremely difficult. It look 20 minutes to figure out how to go down to the Walk of Fame and the View Lounges. That, for me, was the best part. It's away from the hordes of people fighting to get the best selfie and closer to nature. You can see forever! The best time to go is usually between 15:00-18:00 in the summer (weather permitting) because the clouds tend to lift around that time.

Trümmelbach

Mentioned on 
+6 other lists 
Waterfall
Nature & Parks
Trümmelbach is a stunning natural attraction in Switzerland, featuring ten glacier-fed waterfalls inside a mountain. The cascades are a spectacular sight, with up to 20,000 liters of water per second rushing through ravines and potholes shaped by the swirling waters. Accessible by a tunnel-funicular built in 1913, visitors can experience the power and noise of the falls from inside the mountain.
This is awesome! You get to see the waterfall from 10 different viewing spots. Plus the views of the valley are amazing! My recommendation: Take the lift up as far as it goes, then walk the rest of the way to the very top (lift doesn't go that far). Then walk down to catch the viewing spots you missed during the lift. The walk is nowhere as steep or rocky as Staubbachfall. I enjoyed Trummelbach so much more. It's a wonderful experience! P.S. Free parking and a cute little cafe right outside (we didn't try it, but it was popular).
Krystle — Google review
Maybe the one thing in Switzerland that doesn’t feel overpriced. Awesome experience. The roaring of the waterfalls in the caves was potentially a cooler experience than the actual waterfalls themselves. Plenty of parking Pro tip: take elevator to the 6-10 waterfalls and then make your way down from 6-1. Was an hour and a half experience for us.
Doniel E — Google review
Spectacular falls which are well set up with all the different viewpoints. I took the lift up to viewpoint 6 then walked the stairs to the top, which isn't difficult but you definitely need good grippy shoes. I didn't get too wet, only a few drips here and there but you will need a jacket as it is very cold. There is a little souvenir shop located along the path as well as the cafe with clean toilets. I stopped for coffee and a muffin, both were delicious 😋
Tanya H — Google review
An unforgettable experience! Trümmelbach Falls is a truly unique natural wonder — 10 glacier waterfalls hidden inside a mountain, carrying meltwater from the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. You ride a lift up through the rock and walk through tunnels, stairs, and bridges carved into the cliff. It’s moderately physical (lots of steps!), but totally worth it. The sound and power of the waterfalls — up to 20,000 liters per second — is breathtaking. Well organized, very safe, and perfect for a 1-hour visit. Highly recommend wearing good non-slip shoes. Tickets were CHF 14 for adults (2024) and free parking is just a 2-minute walk from the entrance.
Pavel ( — Google review
Trümmelbach Falls, in Lauterbrunnen Valley lets you walk inside a mountain, with roaring waterfalls echoing through rock tunnels. The short hike includes stairs up and down, so wear sturdy shoes. There is optional lift inside the mountain. Visit early to avoid crowds and bring a waterproof jacket—the spray is strong. Tickets can be bought on site. The dramatic sound and close-up views make it a rare natural wonder worth seeing. Photography is allowed but watch your gear around water.

Very cool experience! The admission is 15CHF per adult and 7CHF per kid and for us it is it was definitely worth it. Not to mention that the walk to the area is breathtaking.

Absolutely worth it. Also, take the lift to get to the top and then walk back down. We saw so many people walking up the stairs and struggling. Even if there’s a line for the lift, wait. Once you get out of the lift, you still have a few levels up to go to see all of the falls, which you totally should. Also, bring a jacket. It’s quite cold up there! It’s gorgeous though and it’s worth the trek!
Alyx L — Google review
The walk to the falls was magical! There is an entry fee, I can’t recall the amount. You will get wet. There’s a bakery that you can enjoy before or after that was delightful!

This is definitely the best part of Switzerland..been coming here yearly since 2022 and it never fails to mesmerize me everytime I come. This place is a must visit when you come to Switzerland, a piece of heaven on earth I would say.

Jungfraujoch, also known as the 'Top of Europe,' is a popular tourist destination and the highest railway station in Europe. Visitors can take the Jungfraubahn from either the Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald valley to reach this glacier saddle, but should be prepared for the high altitude.
An unforgettable experience. The train ride alone is spectacular, and at the top you’re rewarded with breathtaking views of glaciers and snow-capped peaks. A must-do in Switzerland.
Jasper B — Google review
Absolutely breathtaking. The top of Europe it prides itself as. 3475M of elevation. A must visit if you're in Grindelwald. You have to change trains twice to get up here but the views are amazing. Theres different stations that you can go to and there's an ice station as well. You can easily spend 2 to 3 hours here.
SL W — Google review
There’s no denying it: the Jungfraujoch is one of the most spectacular spots in all of Switzerland. The panorama is simply breathtaking — an endless sea of snow and glaciers framed by the iconic peaks of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. It’s the kind of place that makes you whisper “wow” before you even realize you’re doing it. That said, the experience is very tourist-oriented — and I say that with both appreciation and a smile. On the one hand, it’s impressive how accessible everything is: tunnels, elevators, shops, cafés, even an ice palace. The Swiss engineering behind this mountaintop infrastructure deserves applause. On the other hand, the sheer number of visitors can make you feel like you’ve taken a scenic detour through a luxury shopping mall at 3,500 meters. And then there’s the crowd itself — a fascinating, unstoppable wave of excited tourists from all over the world. You haven’t truly experienced the Jungfraujoch until you’ve seen a group of people taking selfies in sneakers at nearly 4,000 meters above sea level. It’s equal parts surreal and entertaining — like a nature documentary directed by Wes Anderson. All in all, the Jungfraujoch remains an unforgettable experience. It’s beautiful, over-the-top, slightly chaotic, and absolutely worth it. Just don’t expect solitude or silence — and maybe bring sunglasses, patience, and a good sense of humor along with your camera.
Hugo H — Google review
Absolutely stunning, snow all round the year, less tourist compared to Titlis. A nice tour route set up. You will clearly need 5 hrs and more if you want to enjoy every spot at your pace. The snowtubing and sledging were absolute fun. 20 CHF for Half hour and unlimited rides. Ice palace was beautifully carved. The hot chocolate shop at Aletsch glacier was yummy. Point to note- you have to walk a lot there, but for older people and people who are unable to walk a lot, there are places to sit in the warmth of the tunnel and enjoy the views.

My trip was on early September. Still pre-booked my ticket to secure my ride though. There were many spaces even I can hop on earlier than my booked time-slot. So if you are not in high season it is better to purchase the ticket as late as possible to make sure the weather is good. Otherwise, the outer area may close and the visibility could drop to zero and you pay over €100 for nothing. Wish everyone up here a good weather.

This stunning lake in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland is one of the most scenic and serene places in the country. Surrounded by majestic mountains, lush forests, and picturesque villages, Lake Brienz offers a variety of activities and attractions for every type of traveller. Whether you want to relax on a boat ride, swim in the crystal-clear water, hike to a waterfall, or explore a historic town, Lake Brienz has something for you. We stayed at Lake Brienz, and it turned out to be one of the most beautiful and scenic moments of our trip. The lake's turquoise blue waters are truly mesmerizing. Absolutely captivated by the scenery. Waking up to a view of the Eiger and Jungfrau bathed in early sunlight is something I’ll never forget. The crisp mountain air, the mirror-calm lake, and the gentle sound of water lapping against the quay created the perfect backdrop for a peaceful stroll. Treated to postcard perfect views, a serene water, flower lined pathways, and the gentle rhythm of swans gliding across the lake. It is a must visit. PS: Whether you’re sipping a coffee as dawn breaks or enjoying the rose-gold glow of sunset on snowy peaks, every moment here feels like a postcard comes to life. If you’re after pure Alpine beauty and true relaxation, this spot i.e the Lake Brienz is not to be missed. Highly recommended for visiting when in Swiss.

This train is a must!! Arrive 45-30min early to get a good seat and sit on the left side closest to the entrance to get the best views. The train takes you to the top of the mountain and you can get off and enjoy beautiful views and walk around and see the beautiful cows and enjoy nature. They also have a restaurant where you can have cold beer. They are so friendly at the restaurant! During our time here we really felt close to nature and felt such peace and calmness. It’s a must do activity!

Amazing! Totally worth it. Try to plan so that it's not too cloudy and foggy at the top of the mountain so you can enjoy the view. There are a couple of Cafe's at the top. Give yourself 1-2 hours to enjoy the view before the return trip.

Our journey stopped at the middle station as the train derailed, the staff said she has never seen it happen before so it doesn’t look like it happens often, I wouldn’t worry too much about it. It was a cloudy day with little bit of sunshine, the view from starting point to the middle station was already stunning. As other people photos have shown, the best part is definitely the second half of the journey that we missed, it was a shame to have travelled across half the world to get here and missed that but we didn’t regret taking the train ride and enjoyed the first half, and unexpected events are part of the fun of travelling! While stuck at the middle station, they offered us apple juice for free. It took them about 1 to 2 hours to get another train up to take us back down to the starting point, then a full refund was given back to us.

This is an absolute must-do — totally worth it! We only made it up to Planalp that day because it was snowing at the top, but even that part of the ride was stunning. You get sweeping views of Lake Brienz and the surrounding snowy peaks all along the way. At Planalp, there are several hiking trails plus a restaurant that was packed with people. Honestly, the moment we opened the door it felt like walking straight into a scene from Red Dead Redemption 2 😂. Just a tip: if the sun isn’t out, it gets really chilly up there, so bring warm clothes. Definitely one of the unmissable highlights in the area!

Unforgettable experience with the steam train and the hotel on top of Rothorn. The view was absolutely stunning during the train ride. The hotel staff was customer-oriented and very attentive.

Ballenberg, Swiss Open-Air Museum

Handicraft museum
Museums
Ballenberg, Swiss Open-Air Museum, is a captivating showcase of traditional Swiss architecture and crafts. Situated about 6km from Brienz train station, the museum features over 100 century-old buildings from various regions of Switzerland. Visitors can witness demonstrations of cheesemaking and rural crafts while exploring meticulously reconstructed historical structures. The vast parkland houses animals like rabbits, chickens, pigs, goats, cows, and ducks to provide an immersive experience in the region's rich cultural heritage.
I wouldn’t have chosen to come here on my own, but had a very enjoyable morning walking around the museum. Included in the Swiss Travel Pass, it’s an excellent and inexpensive way to get some steps in and learn about the history of the country. My favorite parts were the animals roaming throughout and the accordion group playing fabulous music at the cultural stage. We went to the east entrance (a few stops later on the same bus line if coming from Brienz) and made a loop before making it all the way to the west entrance. It was a little difficult to get around for young kids/strollers/those with mobility concerns.

Saw very good review about this place decided to give it a try. The playground is nice. CAROUSELL is simple but age 130 years old something different. The house that showcase how 200 years ago people living here is quite interesting, but wish there are more English explanation so that we know what we seeing. Many houses we visit is close or no one around at all. If need to pay for ticket I think is not quite worth it. We got cover by Swiss travel pass. The train ride inside is almost non existence because only a few ride a day at selected timing and you can tour around if you want to take train. End up we walk alot and some are not easy path. We were lost half way as this place is huge and limited sign. The map and sign some need sometime to figure out.

it's an amazing journey through time and hand-crafts! there are hundreds of structures guiding you through the places and timea of older switzerland with live demonstration for pottery, rope making, milling and many more! the crafts are well explained and kids & adults are equally in awe! many nifty playgrounds and infrastructure make the experience well rounded. the horse carriage schedule and high prices could be made more pleasant. also more simple info for how such houses were build would be cool.

Absolutely loved every moment of my visit! I had the honor of meeting a leather craftsman who was so kind as to make me a keyring. I chose a Longhorn design, perfect for a Texan. I also met the soup and coffee makers who used original equipment to create delicious, timeless food and drinks. It was truly amazing to watch. As I walked around the open-air museum, I was fascinated by how each house was unique in its own way. There was also a restaurant and a shack selling food and drinks. I could have easily spent the entire day there but unfortunately I had to catch a train and it's time to leave. Highly recommended.

So much to do and such great value for money. I recommend arriving early to get full value from your visit as you’ll need several hours to explore the various areas of Switzerland that are represented. A beautiful place, friendly staff and an essential stop for a summertime holiday in the Bernese Oberland.

The area offers opportunities for hiking and alpine skiing, as well as leisurely activities. There are accommodations available nearby, making it convenient for an extended stay.

Very nice waterfall. You can view it from the top or from the bottom. During summer or depending on how the water power plants upstream are adjusted, amount of water can be small, but at least when we visited in July, there was enough to call it waterfall and it to look magnificent.

An old trade route and wow this must have been a popular stopping point for hundreds of years. I love the way there is a jetti that allows you to feel extra close to this dramatic waterfall. the valley leading up to it has many waterfalls, more if rained. I reccomend a visit. it's up a long dead end road from beneco. but there are places to stay and great walking at good altitude after the dam and mountain hut.

The Gelmerbahn is a seasonal cable railway that stands out as one of the steepest in Europe, offering an exhilarating ride with stunning views of the peaks and valleys. To access this thrilling adventure, visitors can either drive to Handegg or take public transport to Innertkirchen followed by a short bus trip. As you ascend at an impressive gradient of up to 106%, you'll be captivated by the breathtaking Alpine scenery, culminating in glimpses of the beautiful Gelmersee.
Amazing experience The rail itself is a bit scary but it worth to ride it.You can see stunning view. After the train ride, you can enjoy 2hour hikes. Since the train is limited, it is less crowded in the hiking area.
Koki I — Google review
The views during the hike and the funicular ride were breathtaking. Nature was in full display. We saw beautiful green mountains, sparkling lakes that reflected the clear sky, and we could hear distant waterfalls. This made the experience magical. Even though we had to wait a little for the funicular, it didn’t matter because the scenery was too lovely to mind the delay. The Golmersee hike tested our stamina. The paths were twisty and rocky, challenging us at every step. But for those who took on the challenge, it was worth it. Each step brought us closer to amazing views and hidden natural spots, giving us a rewarding sense of achievement. There is a small shop to buy tickets, snacks, and drinks. The toilets are clean too.

Overall, this one’s pretty cool and definitely worth a stop if you’re passing by. The near-vertical 90° up-and-down ride feels like a roller coaster — pure thrill. At the top you can hike around the lake (half or full loop), though when I went the water level was low so it didn’t look its best. Still, the 270° mountain views up there made up for it, even if the snow was a bit thin. Good to know: you don’t have to stick strictly to the time printed on your ticket. If there are empty seats, just let the staff know and they’ll usually let you hop on earlier. The downside: roadwork near the parking area made driving/parking a hassle, and construction of a new viewing platform at the top meant some extra noise.

We rode the Gelmerbahn on the last day of the season in october and the views over the mountain with all the autumn colors were such a memorable experience. It did challenge our respect for hights but we felt very safe. Staff was very friendly and accomodating. We did book our tickets in advance but were able to ride at different times than booked because we arrived a little early. This might not be able to do if it's high season.

Mount Pilatus

Mountain peak
Nature & Parks
Mountains
Mount Pilatus is a stunning mountain peak in Switzerland, offering sweeping views and a range of amenities including a restaurant and hotel. Situated on the shores of Lake Lucerne, it provides an incredible setting with views of famous mountains like Rigi and Stanserhorn. The area also boasts a well-preserved medieval Old Town, souvenir shops, high-quality restaurants, and beautiful waterfront promenades.
I am struggling to find the right words to describe how incredible Mount Pilatus is. All I can say is that you absolutely CANNOT miss this if you are anywhere near Lucerne. The adventure begins with the cogwheel railway from Alpnachstad, which was full of surprises. Of course, the views are amazing, but I was not expecting the ride to be such a thrill! It climbs at a seriously steep angle, and it's fascinating to watch the scenery and plants completely change as you shoot up the mountain. Once you get to the top, there are several easy, short hiking trails, and every single step is just ridiculously beautiful. You get these insane 360-degree views of Lucerne's unique landscape, the massive lake, and snow-capped mountains in the distance. The photos don't even do it justice. And the wildlife! We saw mountain goats just chilling on the cliffs, basically posing for our pictures. Not to mention the friendly yellow-billed choughs (like mountain ducks) that are everywhere. From the journey up to the views at the top, this was a 10/10 experience. Just do it!
Chieh-Sheng C — Google review
If you're in or neat Lucerne Mount Pilatus is a must see. I took the train from Lucerne to Alpnachstad and then took the cog train up the mountain. I had absolutely perfect weather and the views were stunning. There is a restaurant multiple lookout points and a few trails I hiked. I then took the gondola down the other side of the mountain. Highly recommend!
Dylan N — Google review
Beautiful views all around. Be careful about visiting during spring, as parts of the viewing decks may be closed because of snow as late as early june in my experience. The facilities are new and very nice. I would recommend to take the cog rail up, and the gondola down the mountain for the best experience. Worth every penny.

Mount Pilatus was definitely a highlight of the trip to Switzerland. The weather in mid September was cooperative (it was as warm and sunny on the mountain as in Lucerne). Classic trip as advised: bus, cable cars to the mountain and trip back via cog-wheel train and lake cruise ending in Lucerne. Nature beauty is unreal, hiking a few paths at the top (paved or stairs) is almost a must. Utter surprise how tasty were the local beef hot dogs at the fast food joint on the mountain.

Titlis Cliff Walk

The Titlis Cliff Walk is a thrilling pedestrian suspension bridge situated at the peak of Mount Titlis in Switzerland. As Europe's highest suspension bridge, it offers breathtaking views of the Uri Alps and an adrenaline-pumping experience as it hangs over 500 meters above the ground. Accessible via the Titlis Rotair gondola, this 100-meter-long bridge provides an awe-inspiring opportunity to walk across a narrow pathway high above the alpine abyss.
Unforgettable Mount Titlis Experience! ❄️🇨🇭 Visiting Mount Titlis in Switzerland was truly a dream come true! From the scenic cable car ride with jaw-dropping panoramic views to reaching the snow-covered peak—it was magical from start to finish. I had my lunch right on the mountain, and believe me, the combination of good food and spectacular views made it extra special. Despite the crowds, the entire place was impressively clean and well-maintained. The highlights? So many! Walking through the ice cave, gliding through the snow on the ice flyer, braving the hanging bridge suspended over the Alps, and the thrilling ice gliding were all beyond amazing. Each activity added a unique touch to the adventure. I would absolutely do this again and again—it’s that memorable. If you ever find yourself in Engelberg, don’t miss this place. I highly recommend Mount Titlis to anyone visiting Switzerland. You’ll fall in love with it just like I did!

The walk was so exciting! We crossed cliffs surrounded by eternal snow, and when I visited in autumn, the temperature was around –2°C. There were many tourists from Asia, and I was glad to find a prayer room (musholla) and a restaurant nearby. Unfortunately, I couldn’t play in the snow yet because it wasn’t the right season. But don’t worry — I’ll be coming back this winter for sure! ❄️🇨🇭

Whole area is under construction with large machinery everywhere. Area is now covered in tractor marks in the grey, watery, and dirty snow. At least there’s a clean toilet and good ice cream with a cool ice tunnel. I’d say only the ride up in the gondola was worth it for the view.

We visited Switzerland in October during the weekend. Reached Switzerland friday night and started our journey to titlis early morning 7AM as we need to travel from Bellpark hotel(Luzerne) to titlis(engelberg). Cliff walk is walk on the cliff. Can see the attached photo from titlis. So it's easy. Just 2 mins walk. Cable car, Glacier curve, Cliff walk, Open cable car, Zip lining, Paragliding, Trubsee lake (last) after completing all the above. Boat surfing in trubsee lake.

This was a really cool part of the Titlis summit experience. This bridge was one of my favorite parts up there. The views are just nuts, surrounding you by snow and mountains in every direction. Just a heads up, everyone stops to take pictures on it, so it can get a little clogged up. It was also cool to see who else was braving the heights—we saw a huge number of tourists from India and a lot from China. It doesn't take long to do, and it's included with your ticket. It's a must-do for the great photos and the bragging rights!

Additionally, there are accommodation options such as the Spannort Hotel & Restaurant in Engelberg, which provides easy access to Titlis and other attractions in the area.
Our family trip to Mount Titlis in Switzerland was truly unforgettable. The journey itself began with a stunning ride from Lucerne to Engelberg, which is the base station for Titlis. The scenic views along the way are absolutely breathtaking and make the trip worthwhile even before reaching the mountain. From Engelberg, we took the gondola ride up to the summit. The ride is smooth and offers spectacular panoramic views of the Swiss Alps, valleys, and snowcapped peaks—an experience in itself. At the top, we enjoyed exploring the famous Cliff Walk, which is thrilling and offers unmatched views of the surrounding mountains. We also walked through the Glacier Cave, an enchanting tunnel of ice that fascinated both adults and kids. Unfortunately, due to weather conditions, the Ice Flyer chairlift and Snow Park were closed during our visit, but there was still plenty to enjoy. For meals, there are several restaurants inside offering pizza, pasta, and other cuisines, which made it easy and convenient to relax after exploring. Overall, Mount Titlis is a perfect family destination—offering adventure, incredible alpine beauty, and unique activities. Even with some attractions closed, the experience was magical and is a must-do when visiting Switzerland.

Beautiful mountains. There are many activities. Suspension bridge, glacier cave,cliff walk etc. I visited in the mid of August. Because of rain and fog they closed Suspension bridge. Cliff walk also not done, Because of poor visibility. We should avoid visiting if the weather is bad. But the cable car ride was too good I could not take pictures much Because of the weather. They have restaurant in the 2nd floor. , coffee station, souvenir shop etc. One should wear good layers even in summer time. Because it's cold on top of the hills. Carry umbrella, rain coat, gloves.

Good but not great. Titlis is widely popular as a budget friendly alternative to expensive Jungfraujoch which results in huge crowds coming here even on weekdays. The rotating cable car is always overcrowded. On the top level, there are activities like 'I love Titlis' photospot, Titlis cliff walk, Ice caves with ice sculptures and DDLJ cutout for Indians. Ice Flyer requires an extra ticket to be purchased. However will not recommended it as crowd spoils everything here. The restaurant on top is good and you can also bring packed food and eat in seating area there enjoying stunning views from windows. On first level from where you change to Rotating cable car there is snow park which has activities like snow tubing and sledging which are free. I enjoyed snow tubing it was great fun and a must do. There is also free shuttle service from Engleberg station to Titlis base. One star deducted for excessive crowds. The snow on top is very very slippery so mind your steps. If you are looking for privacy and calm experience, I would recommend to skip Titlis and go to other swiss snow mountains like Schilthorn, Matterhorn glacier paradise, Gornergrat Matterhorn or Glacier 3000 which are less crowded.

It was an unforgettable experience for me. Enjoyed the journey from Zurich to Mount Titlis. Cable car and rotating Gondola ride was exciting. Experiencing the Glacier cave was amazing. Enjoyed every second during my trip to Mount Titlis. While descending also visited the lake in between. Lake and the surrounding was serene. I had booked my journey from Zurich HB station. There is information center. People there are very friendly to assist. I shall cherish this memory lifelong.

Under Construction and lot of space reserved and restricted, few restaurants space used by few people as prayer room… restaurants views also obstructed…. Construction will complete somewhere in 2026-2027. Single photo on ice flyer and clif walk cost 19 CHF. Few other places are also closed and under renovation… snow park is not active… on lake should have installed paddle boat so people not expert can enjoy and sign board says on own risk….

We visited Titlis hoping to see the eternal snow. There’s a restaurant and even a prayer room at the top of the mountain. The ice tunnel is really cool—literally—with a temperature of –2°C, so wearing a jacket and proper layering is a must. The place is very touristy, a good alternative to Jungfraujoch. I wanted to try the snow slide, but unfortunately the season hadn’t started yet. Hopefully we can come back again someday if we’re blessed with the chance. The view is stunning

Rathaus Stadt Luzern is an impressive Italian Renaissance-style town hall that has been a significant building in Lucerne for centuries. Designed by Anton Isenmann and constructed between 1602 and 1606, it serves as the seat of government. Located along the charming Kornmarkt square, its towering structure and sturdy stone walls can be seen from Chapel Bridge. The landmark also features a beautiful clock tower, adding to its historical significance.
Visited the Rathaus in Luzern last week, and it’s such a gem! The building itself is stunning—classic Swiss architecture with those beautiful frescoes and wooden details. It’s right by the river, so the location is perfect for a stroll after checking it out. We popped into the basement restaurant too, and the food was surprisingly good—solid Swiss dishes with a cozy vibe. Staff were super friendly, and it wasn’t too crowded, even with tourists around. Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in Luzern, especially if you love history and a good photo op!

Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
The Chapel Bridge, also known as Kapellbrucke, is a 14th-century wooden bridge in Lucerne that is considered one of the oldest covered wooden bridges in Europe. It is a significant part of the city's medieval fortifications and was named after St. Peter's Chapel nearby. The bridge crosses the River Reuss and features a roof adorned with 17th-century paintings depicting local history.
Walking across the Chapel Bridge after dark is just an absolutely core Lucerne experience. During the day it's beautiful, but at night, it's pure magic. You stand in the middle of this ancient wooden bridge, and the view from it is just incredible. The old buildings along the riverfront, like the Am-Rhyn-Haus with its clock tower, are all lit up, and their lights shimmer and reflect on the water. It’s so quiet and peaceful. I must have taken a dozen photos just like these, trying to capture how beautiful it was. If you're looking for a romantic spot or just a place to have a quiet moment, this is it. An absolute must-do.

We had a wonderful experience visiting the Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke) in Lucerne. It was a beautiful evening, and the entire setting felt almost magical. The iconic wooden bridge, with its charming roof and historic paintings, reflected perfectly in the calm waters of the Reuss River—making it one of the most picturesque spots we’ve seen in Switzerland. What made the experience even more special was the atmosphere around the bridge. As we walked through, the gentle lighting and the flower decorations along the bridge added to the charm. Right nearby, the Old Town was buzzing with life. The streets were lively with cafés, restaurants, and little shops, making it a joy to stroll through. The blend of history, culture, and energy gave the whole area a very warm and welcoming vibe. Walking across the bridge and then meandering through the cobblestone streets of Old Town felt like stepping into a postcard. The combination of medieval architecture, colorful buildings, and the vibrant evening atmosphere made the entire experience unforgettable. If you are in Lucerne, visiting Chapel Bridge is absolutely a must-do, especially in the evening when the city lights and reflections on the river create such a breathtaking scene. It’s not just a landmark—it’s a place that captures the heart and soul of Lucerne.
Gaurav S — Google review
Chapel Bridge lives up to the hype being the most iconic outdoor attraction in Lucerne. Pictures of the bridge from the river shore streets are more scenic than photos taken from the bridge itself. Given that fire of 1993 destroyed at least two thirds of the bridge, don’t expect too much from exposed paintings. Fortunately, Water Tower was spared and bridge was rebuilt and reopened in 8 months carefully reconstructed to preserve historic details.

The Lion Monument in Lucerne, Switzerland is a poignant and enduring tourist attraction. It was created to honor the Swiss mercenaries who lost their lives defending the Tuileries Palace during an attack in 1792. The monument features a sculpture of a dying lion impaled by a spear, carved into natural sandstone rock above a pond. The names of the fallen officers and soldiers are engraved nearby, adding to the melancholic atmosphere of the setting.

In front of the carving lies a small reflecting pool, where a few lonely fallen leaves float on the water, adding to the somber mood of the place. Overall, the visit takes about 5–10 minutes. No tickets required.

A truly impressive monument, much bigger than I expected and really beautiful. The Lion of Lucerne is carved directly into the rock to honor the Swiss Guards who died during the French Revolution. The expression of the lion is incredibly realistic and moving. The surrounding park and pond make it a peaceful place to stop and reflect. Definitely worth a visit!

You reach this historic monument with a short walk from the Lucerne chapel bridge of course you can take a shirt ride for free if you a Lucerne city pass. Mostly crowded as it’s a busy spot everyone wants to take a picture with lion. This is a place built in memory of soldier’s There is is wc near the zone. Easily accessible for all

Beautiful historical landmark. Worthwhile understanding the history either by guided tour or by reading up in the internet to appreciate it more. The outer 'pig' sculpture is interesting by the unhappy master stone maison who was denied the extra payment he requested.

Visited the Lion Monument in Luzern and it really hits different when you see it in person. It’s quiet, calm, and has this emotional, respectful atmosphere to it. The carving is huge and so detailed, and the whole place feels very peaceful. It’s not something you rush through. You just kind of stand there for a bit and take it in. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in Luzern

Lion monument was made to honour mercenary soldiers of Switzerland who died during the French revolution. The monument is stunning with huge lion sculpture in a rock with high level detailing. The surroundings are very beautiful and this is an ideal place for photoshop. Don't miss out to see the reflection of lion monument in the small lake below it. This is a must visit place in Lucerne and an important part of Swiss history.

A beautiful carving in a cliff that has a very important dedication to fallen soldiers. It’s free to the public and an easy walk from the old town.

Schöllenen Gorge

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Ravine
Sights & Landmarks
Schöllenen Gorge, located between the towns of Goschenen and Andermatt, is a stunning canyon formed by the river Reuss. This steep gorge offers a panoramic road and railway adorned with dramatic bridges and tunnels, including the famous Teufelsbrucke (Devils Bridge) which dates back to 1595. The area also features attractions like the Suvorow bar and Russian monument, making it a historic site with plenty to explore.
This bridge is about 20 minutes away from the train station in Andermatt. You will have to cross a tunnel (short one though) to reach the bridge...and it is fantastic! There is also a Monument (Suworow) very close to the bridge. The people into rock climbing also have the chance to do so in the area. Pristine waters, nature and high mountains make it an awesome place to visit!

Very nice hike that is easy to get to from Andermatt. We walked down the path to the pretty bridge at the bottom (all downhill). Then walked back up and then cut into the tunnels to check out the other side of the river. It’s cool to watch the people doing the via Ferrata (near the start of the trail). Easy-ish hike/walk and very pretty scenery.

(Translated by Google) Fascinating! You can imagine how it was over here centuries ago and how people simply couldn't get any further, what masterpieces builders and engineers achieved, and how bitterly the fight must have been for this bottleneck! (Original) Faszinierend! Man kann sich vorstellen, wie hier vor Jahrhunderten „Schluss“ war und die Menschen einfach nicht mehr weiter kamen, welche Meisterleistungen Bauleute und Ingenieure vollbracht haben, und wie erbittert um dieses Nadelöhr gekämpft worden sein muss!

(Translated by Google) Worth seeing, well laid out tour, even through the mountain, about 20 min. The way to Göschenen is not worth it, rather boring, there and back 11km, just under 400m elevation gain (Original) Sehenswerter, toll angelegter Rundgang , sogar durch den Berg, ca 20 min. Der Weg nach Göschenen lohnt sich nicht, eher langweilig, hin und zurück 11km, knapp 400hm

A steam boat trip from Lucerne to Uri, lasting about 2.5 hours, provides stunning views along the shores and into the mountains. The southernmost part of Lake Lucerne, Urnersee (Lake of Uri), is rich in Swiss history and mythology, featuring iconic spots like the meadow of Rutli and Tellsplatte.
Lake Lucerne, Switzerland 🇨🇭💙 Lake Lucerne is truly one of the most beautiful lakes in Switzerland, just next to Lake Lungern in terms of natural beauty. The crystal-clear water, the surrounding mountains, and the peaceful environment make it a perfect destination for nature lovers. Whether you’re walking along the shore, taking a boat ride, or simply enjoying the breathtaking scenery — it’s a place where you feel calm and refreshed. A must-visit spot if you’re touring Switzerland with family or friends. 🌿🏞️

Beautiful stunning lake with breathtaking view of the alps. There are boat rides available if you are so inclined. Really lovey pristine lake with a magnificent view.
Julius T — Google review
It is one of the most beautiful lakes in the whole of Europe, in my opinion. Obviously, the Alps on one side and Lucerne city on the other side give it ample backdrop for those picture-perfect photographs, but still :) Do not miss the boat rides available from Lucerne harbor. You'll thank me when you take one :)

Located in the middle of Lucerne city, surrounded by the beautiful Alps Hills. Lake Lucerne is a very picturesque one, probably one of the most beautiful lake in Switzerland. Also is one of the main attractions of Lucerne (while it also has become one of the most recognizable images of the country). It is a symbol of the city and gives a sublime beauty on sunny days. Especially when even the nearby peaks are still snow-covered and can be seen in the background the Pilatus, majestic. There are many boats that allow you to traverse the lake and cross from one bank to another or even cruise excursions to nearby towns. It's a pretty big lake reaching over 210 meters. PS:- Highly Recommended for taking a boat tour around it to enjoy the tranquil beauty it holds.

The shimmering blue waters, snow-kissed alpine peaks, and storybook villages nestled along Lake Lucerne’s shores. Hear the gentle splash ocutting through the lake, mingled with the cheerful chatter of fellow travellers. Feel ithe crisp mountain air and the magic of Switzerland unfolding before your eyes.

Rigi, located on the shores of Lake Lucerne and within view of the famous Swiss Alps mountains, offers breathtaking panoramic views and a range of activities. Visitors can enjoy hiking, skiing, and sledding in the area. The town of Lucerne boasts a well-preserved medieval Old Town, souvenir shops bustling with visitors, high-quality restaurants, and scenic waterfront promenades.
This was a beautiful boat ride and then train ride to the mountain. The weather was rainy, windy and hazy but you make the best of the day. We finished with a trip to the spa.

Absolutely breathtaking! My last summer trip for the year and so glad we made the train ride up here. Low key we didn’t hike up only down but that was more than enough to make some memories I’ll cherish for a life time.

The access from Luzern is convenient. While I went sightseeing, the souvenir shop at the station kindly kept my suitcase for me. The staff there were very friendly and kind, and I ended up buying some souvenirs afterward. The view from the mountain was beautiful. Although it was cloudy at first, the clouds gradually cleared, and I was able to fully enjoy the scenery.

Really nice view!!! I love it! But be careful if you go too late like me and decide to go down with a cable car 🚠 it cost 30€ UNBELIEVABLE

Really enjoyed our ride up the funicular to the top. We then used the restroom on the top, had a quick meal, took a few photos, and then begun our descent. We walked as far as we could on the day down before getting tired and joining a funicular stop down. Along the way there were a few homes that opened as mini stop areas for food. No ticks no bugs, really great to be at a high altitude. Plenty of cows and bells welcoming you along the way.

We took a ferry from Luzern (just outside of Luzern train station) and after one hour got off at Vitznau. The mountain railway is just outside the station, and with 30 min it took us to the top of Rigi. After 40 min walk we reached Rigi Kaltabad, from where we took a cable and with 5 min we were down to Weggis, another 15 min walk we got to the ferry station and boarded the ferry back to Luzern. All is covered by Swiss Travel Pass. The view alongside the journey is splendid.

One of my favorite mountain :) You can take the tram all the way up to the near top of the mountain. The tram takes about 10-15 minutes to reach the top.

May 2025: first time visiting the Rigi, Switzerland. Took the train and then the Funicular to the top. Spent some time walking around before heading down to a restaurant for a great Rösti (grated potato). Amazing views from the summit of the lakes and other surrounding mountains.

Art museum
Museums
The Kunsthaus Zürich is a renowned art museum in Europe, managed by the Zurich Society of Arts and with roots tracing back to 1787. It boasts extensive collections from various artists, including a significant number of Charles Munch's paintings and the most important assortment of Monet's works outside Paris. The museum focuses on showcasing high-quality works by artists across different periods, with particular strength in Impressionist, post-Impressionist, and modern art.
We visited during Zurich Art Weekend and it was fantastic! So many great 🖼️ and also few interactive displays. Its great that they label the art - stolen / not stolen. We easily spent there 3 hours! Its worth getting ticket to all exhibitions when you have time. You will enjoy all the Picasso’s and other great paintings.
Pavel B — Google review
An incredible museum, with access to two two-floor buildings filled with masterpieces. We explored the main museum first and got to see so many wonderful paintings from artists like Van Gogh, Monet, Manet, Picasso and so many others, but I saw that they had the second largest Munch collection and when I asked they told me it's in the second building. Went through the underground tunnel and there he was on the second floor. I was left speechless and spent hours and hours going through all the wonderful rooms. Would definitely visit again!
Leni A — Google review
Cultural jewel in the heart of Zurich - Kunsthaus truly impressed.We didn't expect to discover such a remarkable collection of great masters - Rembrandt, Dutch classics, Monet, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Chagall, Modigliani... an entire constellation of art legends. One of the highlights was a striking passage hall showcasing works by the famous Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler. The museum also includes a piece by Alberto Giacometti, the globally recognized Swiss sculptor known for his distinctive style. The spaces are bright and spacious, making it easy to linger and absorb the atmosphere. Lockers are available for storing personal items - a thoughtful convenience. And the museum shop? A delight, as always. I'm drawn to art museum stores, and this one felt like a mini treasure hunt - full of creative finds and unique keepsakes. Conclusion: Zurich shines with artistic brilliance - a true cultural powerhouse
Rolands M — Google review
The Kunsthaus Zurich boasts a vast collection, divided into two sections: the Old and the Old. Some of the works are truly magnificent, and even someone like me, who doesn't know much about art, finds them truly stunning. I wouldn't be able to fully explain them, though. Whether you're an art enthusiast or a tourist, this is a place worth visiting.
Joseph B — Google review
Nothing short of outstanding in every aspect. I new I was going to see artwork old and not so old of many big-name artists, but the excellent way the collections were arranged and information provided on the artists etc. together with practical aspects (the two very spacious beautiful buildings across the street are connected with a pleasant subterranean walkway, there are cloakrooms with plenty of lockers, many toilets, two cafeterias, an amazing souvenir shop, and very helpful staff everywhere), all that made for a beautiful day at Kunsthaus Zürich. I thought kids would not be bored and surely love for instance an amazing LED lights and sound show, or an all-around video projection.

Incredible museum in Zurich, it's a must when you visit the city. We received free entry with our Zurich card. Plenty of rooms, floors, and items to visit during your time here. In fact it's the largest art museum in Switzerland. There's a tram stop right outside so it's well serviced by public transport. Definitely worth a look.

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and find serenity at the Zurich Botanical Garden.

Explore themed gardens such as the Alpine Garden, Rose Garden, Tropical Greenhouse, Japanese Garden, and Scented Garden.
Extremely recommended! It's very nice, with many different sections. There are many information signs (in German only though), and also some chairs around if you want to spend some time there in the park. Very nice for a colorful walk, and also for families :)

Really wonderful garden overall, the amount of nature and plants on the outside is already huge, but the real magic happens inside the greenhouses. It really recreates climate and flora of its 3 places, with differences on the humidity, wind, temperature. We have the impression of being on rainforest or dry Africa climate, depends on the greenhouse we’re in.

This Garden is the place to wonder nature’s creation. No entry ticket needed and open throughout the day. Very nice place to feel closer to nature. Very good place to jog . There is amazing cafeteria from the university. You have also the chance to buy some exotic plants or chilies that are grown in the garden

Beautiful garden and three greenhouses. It is incredible, but free entry. Nice to walk through and enjoy flowers, trees and all plants there. There’s a cafeteria, so you can take a break during your walk. You could also take some sandwiches and have picnic in the garden. I also strongly recommend for family. Kids can learn a lot in „Erlebnisgarten“. It’s a fun to visit and stroll here and always can learn something new.

So cool! I completely envy the personal working there. The greenhouses are little enchanted gardens! Big space outside to sunbath and a small pond with ducks and frogs singing. You can take your picnic and enjoy an afternoon there! If you go there, consider donating some money via Twint, because its everything free of charge, and they deserve some help covering the costs to give us such a cool experience.

Located in Zurich, Switzerland, Zoo Zürich is a renowned animal conservation facility that has been welcoming visitors since 1929. The zoo boasts an impressive collection of over 370 animal species living in carefully designed habitats. From the Lewa Savana to the Masoala Rainforest and the Kaeng Krachan Elephant Park, visitors can explore diverse natural environments and observe animals living as close to their natural habitats as possible.
This was one of the best zoos I've seen in Europe. They have a wide variety of animals, including baby snow leopards. Very cool! They also had penguins. The place also had plenty of places to eat and relax, as well as many bathrooms. Definitely recommend.

Really impressed by the Zurich zoo. It's a very large space with panoramic views, plenty of amenities and carefully designed enclosures for the animals that give them plenty of space to explore and hide. The rainforest dome with its tree canopy walk is a highlight, as are the snow leopards. The leopardess had three cubs in spring 2025, and watching them play was absolutely delightful. The zoo has a great balance of large animals (lions, giraffes, llamas, kangaroos,....) and small animals (fish, insects, tree frogs), all sensitively housed and explained. You could easily spend a whole day there. The setting is hilly, so it does take some stamina to walk through. It's only 15 minutes by tram from central Zurich. A great choice for a tourist on a Monday when the museums are closed.
James G — Google review
The zoo itself it's very user friendly, it has food stands on the paths, the food is very expensive though. Some of the animals look depressed, specially the elephants. Other than that, it's a beautiful experience, walking outdoors and enjoying the company of your family or your special ones
Diana L — Google review
It was a huge zoo with lots of cool stuff. Loved that the animals had sprawling enclosures. But many of the animals were nowhere to be found, with no explanation or signage. We'd walk a mile+ with the kids to see the lions or gorillas and discover they're not there that day?? It was also incredibly crowded. We went on a random Wednesday day in August and the line to buy tickets for anyone who hadn't bought online was very long.
Shell — Google review
Nice place, you can tell they take well care of the animals, it was also clean and had many WC on the way. It is a big area to cover, better go with time (3-4 hrs if with children). It has many places to buy snacks and some restaurants with playground too. Service is very friendly. You can download the App and have a realtime map. We will sure visit again.

Alejandra D — Google review
Really enjoyed our trip to the zoo, a great day out for adults and children. Lots of great animals, we saw the snow leopards and the three cubs, tigers, elephants, rhinos, giraffes etc. Kids zoo was a lot of fun, you can climb in to a lot of the enclosures and pet the animals if they come over to you. Lots of the animals have some of the best enclosures we have seen in comparison to other zoos. Toilets were very clean and there were lots available. Even when our child was stung by a wasp, someone was available to help quickly which was really appreciated. Food was OK, some places didn't have great options but others did. Gift shop was nice, didn't feel over priced depending on what you were wanting. Would recommend booking online to avoid waiting in the queue for tickets if you have young children.
