Best places to visit in Switzerland

  • Geneva: this highly cosmopolitan city is one of the world’s most famous, not least for founding the Red Cross organisation. Lake Geneva is its jewel, and its most famous symbolic landmark is Jet d’Eau, a water jet that shoots water almost 160 yards into the air from the lake surface. Also visit Jardin Anglais where you’ll find the city’s symbol of its watchmaking heritage, the flower clock.  
  • Zurich: For some of the best shopping in Europe, drive to the Bahnhofstrasse. It’s a long pedestrianised street in the town centre. Fraumünster is an abbey founded in 853 AD and a popular tourist attraction for its Marc Chagall stained glass windows created in the ‘70s. For relaxing walks drive to Lindenhof near the old town, a shady park overlooking a river.  
  • Basel: drive to the Old Town to the Markplaz area for local food and produce. Here you can also see the colourful Basel Rathaus and its famous old clock. Kunstmuseum Basel is the city’s Museum of Art with major works by Van Gogh, Gaugin, Picasso, Dali and other icons. Then drive to the highest point, Münsterhügel (Minster Hill), where you’ll find Basel Minster, originally a Roman fort.
