SWITZERLAND

SWITZERLAND

Visited in May 2018

You’ve probably heard of Switzerland dozens of times before, so it won’t come as a surprise to you if I tell you it is, from what I have seen at least, a beautiful place. It is extremely easy to travel around with trains and buses and there really seems to be no boring / visually uninteresting places in that country. 

However, as I was traveling on a budget, I simply couldn’t do anything else than walk around and take pictures of pretty things. I’m sure you have been told about the prices in Switzerland countless times already, but believe me when I say it is worse than you actually think it is. I am a big fan of nature and I am generally easy to please with cheap activities, restaurants, and so on, but there simply is no such thing in Switzerland, which is disappointing since I am sure the country has a lot to offer.

That being said, if you have tons of money to throw out the window, go and enjoy yourself – but if you are on any kind of budget, avoid Switzerland at all cost and visit the neighbouring Austria or Italy for similar yet much cheaper experiences.

Lausanne

Lausanne is a beautiful french town in western Switzerland, less than an hour away from Geneva. The city is built on steep hills on the shore of Lac Léman and therefore offers stunning views of the alps from many different spots. Just like the rest of Switzerland, Lausanne is expensive, relatively safe and fun to walk around at any time of the day. When I visited, it was unfortunately rainy the whole weekend and I was limited with the things I could do, but I still managed to get a few pictures around town and get a tiny taste of what Switzerland has to offer.
