Although Switzerland is a relatively small country, it offers some of the most beautiful attractions and destinations in the world such as its mountain resorts, castles, museums, forests as well as its ancient and modern architecture. Switzerland or “The Land of the Alps”, definitely makes one of the best holiday destinations where you can have a memorable time. It would also be an advantage if you took up a French, Italian or German language course from language school Switzerland (Alemania Sprachschule Schweiz) which is promoted in online journals to be able to communicate better with the locals when you get there. Here are some of the places that you can visit as you travel to Switzerland.

1. The Chillon Castle: This castle is located right on Lake Geneva’s shore and is considered as one of the most popular castles in Switzerland. It has a total of a hundred buildings, which date back to the eleventh century. It has three courtyards as well as four great halls that offer breathtaking views of the lake. Many online journals promote tours in The Chillon
Castle, just like how language school Switzerland is promoted and advertised in their articles.

2. Geneva Jet D’eau: Situated in the center of one of the major cities of Switzerland, the Geneva Jet D’eau is one of the tallest fountains worldwide. It projects water to almost a height of 140 meters. It was built back in 1891 and is considered as one of the symbols which represent the city of Geneva.

3. Zermatt: This is probably one of the best and most visited tourist attractions in Switzerland. It is situated on the foot of the Swiss Alps’ most famous peaks, the Matterhorn.
Now, if you are not planning to ski, you could still go there to enjoy the beautiful view as you dine at the gourmet restaurants or as you shop around the town. Here, being able to speak in German, French or Italian would be a plus as you would have an easier time conversing with the locals.

4. Swiss National Park: This is the only national park in Switzerland. It covers almost half of the country’s entire area. The park serves as a sanctuary for different species of wildlife including elk, eagles and marmots.

5. Swiss Transport Museum: Many people also got to Lucerne for the Swiss Transport Museum. It features a display of ships, locomotives, aircrafts and automobiles, along with other modes of communications and transportation. It is also where you can find the wide collection of the artworks of the famous Swiss painter and sculptor Hans Erni. Some of the other things to see here would be the IMAX theater and the Planetarium, as advertised and promoted in many online journals.

6. The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum: This is also known as the International Red Cross Museum and is another museum that you should not forget to visit while in Switzerland. It presents the many activities that they have associated with humanitarian aid.

7. St. Gallen: This was founded by an Irish monk back in 612 AD. It was originally a medieval center but has now become the seventh largest city in the country. This old town has many picturesque buildings that have exquisitely carved balconies, relief statues and colorful murals. It also has a big twin-towered cathedral which has amazing ceiling frescoes and stucco designs.
