Switzerland is one of the most beautiful countries in the world and a visit here should be very high on your bucket list, if you are a nature lover, like me.
The amount of stunning hikes, fairytale towns and gorgeous lakes is absolutely insane, especially considering how small Switzerland is.
I personally also love the cities I have visited in Switzerland so far like Bern, Zurich and Thun.
It was actually my first time visiting Switzerland in 2025, but I spent several weeks in the country and saw many, many incredible spots. Definitely planning to return to Switzerland in the next months, as there is sooo much more I want to see.
The only is that it’s a very expensive country. Especially hotels, restaurant meals and public transportation costs add up fast. I personally traveled around the country by camper, which was a great way to do it on y budget.
