Swiss is one of the
most beautiful (and ofcourse expensive :) ) place on the earth with
picturesque mountains, . I have been there twice and have visited
Lucerne, Interlaken, Niesen & Titlis. I would recommend to visit
Swiss in months of around April / May. It would be full of snow and
you will have a wonderful time.
The currency of
Swiss is Swiss Francs – CHF but Euro (EUR) will be accepted almost
everywhere. One CHF is more or less is equivalent to an EUR.
You can also
withdraw Euro from Swiss ATMs (I guess not all). I would recommend to
use your EUR Credit / Debit cards for all your purchases.
Niesen :
Niesen, also called
as Swiss Pyramid is a mountain in Switzerland. We have been there
around 10 clock in morning. There is a short beautiful ride in
funicular to reach the top of Niesen. From the top of Niesen we will
get breathtaking views. If you visit during summer, you would have an
option of Paragliding . It would be wonderful to watch the beauty of
nature by flying high. If you visit during winter, then the top of
Niesen would be full of snow and you would not have option of
paragliding. There is also a restaurant at the top of Niesen ! We
were back from Niesen around 2 o clock in afternoon in funicular. A
nice place for photo freaks.
Lucerne :
We have been in
Lucerne by evening. There are a lot of shops (mainly watches) , Lion
Monument, Lucerne lake and Chappel bridge. You should definitely
take a boat ride in Lucerne lake which would last for about one hour.
One of the most beautiful lakes I have ever seen.
Lion monument is a
sculpture of a wounded lion which looks very lovely.
Chapel bridge is
also one of the must-see attraction to visit and it's best to visit
by late evening. The bridge is photogenic as well. The photos looked
more attractive from whichever position we click. There are many
photo paintings and wooden boards in the bridge.
