Get inspired and plan your next trip with Fodor’s ebook travel guide to Switzerland (including Zürich, Eastern Switzerland and Liechtenstein, Graubünden, Ticino, Luzern and Central Switzerland, Basel, Fribourg and Neuchâtel, Bern, Berner Oberland, Valais, Vaud, and Geneva).Intelligent Planning: Discover all of the essential, up-to-date travel insights you expect in a Fodor’s guide, including Fodor’s Choice dining and lodging, top experiences and attractions, and detailed planning advice. Easy Navigation for E-Readers: Whether you’re reading this ebook from start to finish or jumping from chapter to chapter as you develop your itinerary, Fodor’s makes it easy to find the information you need with a single touch. In addition to a traditional main table of contents for the ebook, each chapter opens with its own table of contents, making it easy to browse. Full-Color Photos and Maps: It’s hard not to fall in love with Switzerland as you flip through a vivid full-color photo album. Explore the layout of city centers and popular neighborhoods with easy-to-read full-color maps. Plus get an overview of Swiss geography with the convenient atlas at the end of the ebook. What’s Covered? Get to Know Switzerland: Zürich is surprisingly small, but its wealth of cultural riches—like luxurious Alstadt (Old Town), Grossmünster cathedral, and the modern art at the Bührle Museum—make up for its size. East of Zürich, discover the old Rhine city of Schaffhausen and its medieval frescoes, the busy textile center of St. Gallen, and princely Liechtenstein. In Graubünden, take the gorgeous train ride to Arosa, visit Heidi country in Maienfeld, or ski and be seen in glitzy St. Moritz. Ticino’s lakes, like the beauteous Lugano, serene Locarno, and elegant Ascona, are perhaps its greatest attraction. Central Switzerland is the most-visited region in the country, with Vierwaldstättersee lake, Rütli Meadow, fabled Wilhelm Tell chapel, and the medieval town of Luzern. Basel is home to great modern art, at Museum Tinguely and Fondation Beyeler. The largely undiscovered cantons of Fribourg and Neuchâtel are a favorite western Switzerland getaway, with treasures like the picturesque castle at Gruyères, lakeside Neuchâtel, and the medieval center of Fribourg. Bern, Switzerland’s federal capital, offers famed sandstone arcades, painted fountains, the Zytglogge performing mechanical clock, the Gothic Münster, and the art-filled Zentrum Paul Klee. Berner Oberland, a summit of summits, includes the peaks of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau as well as glam Gstaad. Valais is home to the country's most photographed icon, the Matterhorn, in Zermatt. Don’t miss the resort luxury of Saas-Fee, Verbier, and Crans-Montana. Vaud is centered around Lac Léman (Lake Geneva) and harbors alpine villages, glamorous lake resorts, and verdant vineyards. Be sure to visit the Old Town and hyperactive waterfront of Lausanne, harbor-front Vevey, Riviera-like Montreux, and Switzerland’s most fabled castle, Château de Chillon. Finally, no trip would be complete with a visit to Geneva —birthplace of Calvinism and the International Red Cross, home to the European headquarters of the UN, and a stronghold of private banks and exclusive boutiques. Begin by exploring the Palais des Nations and Vieille Ville (Old City), then head to the downtown waterfront and the feathery Jet d’Eau. Note: This ebook edition is adapted from Fodor’s Switzerland, 46th edition, but differs in some content. Additionally, the ebook edition includes photographs and maps that will appear on black-and-white devices but are optimized for devices that support full-color images.

Kindle version of our illustrated travel guide will take you to Geneva, Switzerland. Geneva is one of the world's major centers of international diplomacy, having served as the site of the initial headquarters of the International Committee of the Red Cross. Although the United Nations is now headquartered in New York, the organization still retains a large presence in Geneva at the Palais des Nations and many of its sister/child organizations, such as the World Health Organization and ILO. Geneva itself has only 188,000 citizens but 780,000 people live in the metropolitan region. Geneva was one of the eight host cities in the 2008 European Football Championships. Geneva is officially a French-speaking city, and the vast majority of the population speak French. All advertisements, information, and signage are in French. With the large international presence, English takes a close second. Geneva is a proud city although there is quite a bit more life to be found if you look under the surface, especially if you speak some French. Finding Internet access when out and about can be problematic so carry your mobile guidebook in the palm of your hand. We include a fully linked Table of Contents and internally to access context-specific information quickly and easily when offline. Many web links are included as well for additional information.

Switzerland and the Alps: The Swiss Alps reverberate with cowbells, accordions, and laughter. We make our home base in the year-round playground of Interlaken, the "town between two lakes". We sail across glacial Lake Brienz, famous for its beautiful wood carving. We head to the spectacular Lauterbrunnen Valley for a heart-stopping gondola ride to alpine heights, and hike past flower-filled meadows and mountain chalets. Then it's off to vibrant Zurich for shopping, chocolate and tasty Swiss cuisine. Tips on transit passes and buying cheese. Christmas in Switzerland: Hot spiced cider and strains of "O Tannenbaum" warm our hearts as we head to Europe for Christmas. Switzerland has a special glow this time of year and we find plenty of good cheer in the bright Christmas markets and toasty ski lodges. We begin in German-speaking Zurich with its glittering trees and festive music. We veer off the beaten path to the medieval towns Bremgarten and Einsiedeln. Then we discover French-speaking Switzerland on the shores of Lake Geneva. Dog sledding on a glacier and a visit with Father Christmas round out the trip.
