Rhine Falls

My first tourist attraction in Switzerland, Rhine Falls. Europe's largest plain waterfall. It is easily accessible from Zurich via the train. It is super crowded but it is very spectacular and standing at the platform right next to the mighty torrent of water is worth the visit. =)


I will keep this post short and let the pictures speak for themelves.

Till my next blog post, take a swim! =)

Summer in Switzerland

I spent 10 beautiful summer days with my family in Switzerland last month! It was one of my best holidays so far. I did not checked my work email and my colleagues were very co-operative and did not call me at all! I did not think about work, I just took it very easy, relaxed and enjoyed. It's so liberating!! =)



Sharing with you my itinerary for my 10 amazing summer days in Switzerland:
  • Day 1: arrived Zurich in the early morning, checked into hotel, visited the Rhine Falls and did the Zurich Walk from the Zurich HB (train station) to Lake Zurich
  • Day 2: took a short hike around Ebenalp and explored Appenzell
  • Day 3: travelled from Zurich to Interlaken in the morning, visited the Swiss Open-Air Folk Museum at Ballenberg in afternoon and went on a boat cruise from Brienz to Interlaken
  • Day 4: went to Jungfraujoch (Top of Europe)
  • Day 5: travelled from Interlaken to Zermatt in the morning and did a short hike from Zermatt to Gorner Gorge and back in the afternoon
  • Day 6: took the underground furnicular, gondola and cable car to Rothorn and hiked downhill from Rothorn to Sunnegga
  • Day 7: Took the train up to Gornergrat and hiked from Riffelalp to Zermatt
  • Day 8: travelled from Zermatt to Bern, waited for the rain to stop and explored the city of Bern
  • Day 9: travelled from Bern to Luzern and did the self-guided walk around Reuss River
  • Day 10: travelled from Bern to Lausanne and explored the Old Town and Ouchy
  • Day 11: Home sweet home


In my next few blog posts, I will be sharing more about my holiday with you.
