Switzerland
Switzerland At A Glance
At the top of my list of favorite European countries is Switzerland. It’s simply the most beautiful, pristine, awe-inspiring country with small-town charm and the Swiss Alps as the backdrop. The trains are famous for running on time and for being efficient while whisking you off through the alps and beyond. No trip is complete without witnessing the beauty of the alps, hearing cow bells, eating Rösti and tasting the country’s famous chocolates and cheeses.
