Hi guys!
Just a quick heads up, this post contains a video and a few pictures.
If you look above this post, you’ll find a video of what I remembered to record while in Switzerland, between feeling awkward speaking to a camera, forgetting to charge it constantly, and the weather raining on my parade, this is all I managed to get. Video should be up top ^^
Below you’ll find pictures of the places I visited while there as well. This is just so you can have a visual of what Switzerland is like. Along the way I’ll be posting an itinerary, an approximate budget, things I noticed while in Switzerland, and my overall opinion of the country. At least from what I had the pleasure of experiencing.
Either way, I hope you enjoy it, and if you’re thinking of going to Switzerland, I hope this seals the deal.
Keep in mind, pictures and videos will never do any country justice.
Lucerne | Luzern
Old Town Lucerne/Luzern: Murals and wall paintings everywhere.
The Chapel Bridge: Said to be the oldest wood bridge in Europe.
There are Switzerland flags everywhere!
The Lion Monument: Commemorates Swiss Guards that were massacred in 1792 during the French Revolution.
Basel
I went on a Sunday, places were closed and streets were mostly empty. This is normal.
Lauterbrunnen
The grass really is that green.
You don’t know the peace of hearing cow bells, until that’s all you can hear.
Seeing this picture online was my motivation for going to Switzerland <3
Lauterbrunnen is known as the valley of 72 waterfalls.
Kid size boots became my best friend on this trip.
Trummelbach Falls is a glacier waterfall. It carries down the water from the Jungfrau down to the valley. It feels like it’s thundering everywhere you walk.
Männlichen
Elevation of 7,687′
Had to take a cable car to get up here.
St. Beatus Caves
St. Beatus Caves
Lake Thun.
Wengen
The Swiss are very proud of their flags, and it’s beautiful. That straight line in the back, that’s the cable car route.
Goodbye!

I’m not that much of a internet reader to be honest but your blogs really nice, keep it up! I’ll go ahead and bookmark your site to come back later. Many thanks
Thank you for saying that! Really appreciate it 🙂 Hopefully when you come back you find more things of interest 🙂
From Geneva airport to Wengen by rail takes about 3 hours 50 minutes, changing three times at Bern, Interlaken Ost and Lauterbrunnen.
I had read that before going. That’s why I landed in Zurich, so I can cut the train ride some by stopping in Lucerne for a while and heading up to Wengen. Even the train ride was beautiful <3
I think the admin of this website is really working hard in favor of his web page,
since here every stuff is quality based data.
Thank you, Kina!
These pictures are so stunning! There’s only one problem…they appear more real than real life! No really just everything art studio quality!
Thanks ShopGirl! Switzerland is bigger than life, everything about it.
What beautiful photos! Even the graveyard is pretty!
Thank you! When I saw the graveyard I was in shock, just because it didn’t feel like a scary lonely place. Felt vibrant and sweet. Definitely different from what I expected.
My girlfriend and I were looking for a place to go this summer. This definitely made our choice easy, Switzerland looks amazing!!
Hi James! Your girlfriend would love it. There’s so much to see, and it’s really different from most countries. It’s incredibly clean too. You’ll have a great time if you go, and in the summer I’m sure the weather will be perfect.
All of these photos are breathtaking. What a beautiful adventure!
Thanks, Samantha! Really appreciate it 🙂
omg…The pictures are beyond amazing…even the ones where is shows the street wet because of the rain is perfect. I would love to visit this place someday!!
Hi Neisha! Thanks so much, I’m glad you like them 🙂 You should! And if you need any help with any ideas I’ll be more than happy to help you figure it out!
OMG!! These photos/places are seriously drop dead gorgeous! Loved this blog post. I’ve been to Zurich, Switzerland but now I want to go back to see all of these other towns. Thanks for sharing!
You should! It’s straight out of a fairy tale, pictures will never do it justice.Thanks for stopping by!
Wowww the pictures are awesome. Switzerland is in my top 5 list of countries that I have to visit.
It’s a life changing country I think, glad you liked the pictures!
Oh my god! What a treat to see these pictures. My sister lives in Basel and I haven’t visited her yet. Seems like you had a great time. Can the glacier waterfall be accessed easily?
You should visit! It’s not cheap to go so having someone there is a million times better. I went on a Sunday and everything was closed though, I was scared lol. Yes! The waterfall is easy to access, you just have to go to Lauterbrunnen and walk there, then you go through the inside and hike a little. But not difficult at all!
Its wonderful blog post . Your pictures is alive and make everyone for sure will love to come to visit this beautiful clean country .
