As soon as you land in Geneva, start your trip by touring the charming and picturesque city. Visit the historic Old Town, explore the iconic Jet d'Eau, and take a romantic stroll along Lake Geneva. Geneva is a great place to indulge in Swiss cuisine, so make sure to try the local fondue and treat yourself to some Swiss chocolate.
Take an early morning train to Zermatt, a car-free village famed for the Matterhorn. Go on a cable car ride to the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise for the most breathtaking views. Couples can take a romantic horse-drawn carriage ride through the village, and enjoy some of the best Swiss aprés-ski with a bubbling pot of cheese fondue.
On your last day, visit the stunning town of Lucerne. Walk through the picturesque streets, cross the historic Chapel Bridge, and take a romantic boat ride on the serene Lake Lucerne. Don’t miss a visit to the baroque Jesuit Church and sampling the famous “Luzerner Chügelipastete” - a puff pastry filled with veal ragout.
Switzerland has a well-connected railway network. It is highly recommended to buy a Swiss Travel Pass before the trip. It covers travel on trains, buses, and boats, as well as free entrance to more than 500 museums.
The estimated cost for the Swiss Travel Pass for 3 days is CHF 232 per person. You can purchase it online or at any Swiss train station.
If you have more time, consider visiting other Swiss cities like Zurich or Interlaken. If you have less time, you can reduce the number of days in each city and opt for a Swiss city tour.
Geneva Airport (GVA) is located 4 miles from the city center. There are several transportation options available such as trains, buses, taxis and car rentals.
