    It’s so cool that to be connected to all those wonderful places so close by. Traveling by train is such a great way to experience and explore a place. Love those lights in that village and the waterfalls looked amazing! Thanks for sharing. I cannot wait to visit!

    very informative video, and I say that as a Swiss myself! I would have added some more to this list, but for first-timers in Switzerland this is a great guide to help you navigate around

    I live in Horgen and I love Rapperswil aswell, especially taking the sunset ship and eating dinner there! For people who want to visit a fun museum, I definitely recommend Winterthur too: It's very close to the city and the Technorama is not only a paradise for nerds, but people looking for cool aesthetics, adventurers and families ✌🏻

    I have another recommendation, that is, Konstanz. You can enjoy the beauty of Bodensee. I strongly recommend taking a boat to Meersburg from Konstanz. It is a nice small town to have a cup of coffee.

    Been to 5 out of 6 of these places and they are all very pretty. The closest train station to the Rhine Fallls is Schloss am Laufen. Bern is beautiful city and very underrated as a must see tourist location. Would also add St. Gallen which is just an hour from Zurich

  • @rosanegriaspajorodriguez9006

    How could I board on the 5:38 AM train from Zurich Giesshūbel to Ringlikon? I know no trains of the Uetliberg railroad that stop in Zurich Giesshūbel in all other hours.

    I am so curious to know if you both have regular jobs outside of CZcams ? With astronomical living cost in Swiss, how do you afford to stay in posh hotels and eat fancy meals at restaurants?

    Hi guys can I get the swiss train pass at the Zurich airport?

    • @mountainlover830
      @mountainlover830 Před 2 lety +1

      Yes, just go to the SBB counter on the level just above the platforms. They’re very helpful and you can purchase tickets & passes via the kiosks or via the helpful SBB staff.

    How come you didn’t include Interlaken?

    • @TheTravelingSwiss
      @TheTravelingSwiss  Před rokem

      I wouldn’t consider Interlaken a day trip from Zurich, you would be on trains for at least 5 hours that day and not have time to see much while there

    • @ziauddinkamran6423
      @ziauddinkamran6423 Před rokem

      @@TheTravelingSwiss Thanks for your prompt reply. I thought Interlaken is 1:30 hr train ride away. Now we need to re-think for our itinerary.
