Bordered by Germany, France, and Italy, Switzerland is a country of juxtapositions where each region reflects the language, culture, and cuisine of its neighbors. Swiss tour packages highlight these unique areas while presenting the majesty of the landscape - the mighty snow-capped mountains, the sparkling lakes, and the vast meadows. Travel through charming alpine towns that epitomize the beauty of Switzerland or set out on adventures into the country's great cities. Acclaimed destinations, such as the capital city of Bern, with its medieval Clock Tower and Muenster Cathedral; Lucerne and its historic Chapel Bridge; and Geneva, home to international peacekeeping organizations and its renowned Flower Clock; and Zurich, the financial epicenter of the country, are brought to life through thoughtfully crafted tourism packages. Select Swiss rail tours also include time in Switzerland's quaint resort towns, like the cosmopolitan town of St. Moritz, which is known as the place where winter alpine tourism was popularized; Montreux on the shores of Lake Geneva; and the car-free town of Zermatt, located at the base of the Matterhorn.
Switzerland tours packages often include journeys aboard the country's acclaimed scenic trains. There is no better way to enjoy the incredible vistas than aboard the Glacier Express, the Bernina Express, or the GoldenPass Panoramic Express. A sightseeing train that travels aboard Europe's highest rack railway, the Gornergrat Railway offers a shorter ride with an unmatched view of the Matterhorn. A train trip in Switzerland is wonderful on its own; however, some escorted rail vacation packages connect with a cruise along the Rhine River for an even more memorable experience. Perfect for honeymoons and for family adventures in any season, Switzerland vacations are your ticket to some of the most impressive scenery in the world.
