One of the most popular destinations in Europe, Switzerland “enchants” not only Europeans but also travellers from America and Asia since the era of the Grand Tour (1660-1840), which was the traditional European trip of young and noble mainly Europeans.

Although most of its reputation has to do with snow and skiing, Switzerland has several cities and places worth seeing that will give you experiences, beautiful images and definitely an enviable photo album.
