Švýcarsko - Turistický průvodce – group of authors (2018)

Discover the idyll of a country famous not only for its chocolate and cheese. Whether you're planning to visit Zermatt, where snowboarding is available 365 days a year, wander through the medieval streets of the exceptionally preserved Bern, or sleep on straw at a farm in Valais, you'll find plenty of overviews and tips in this guide. In addition to rural areas, we will introduce you to the surprisingly dynamic alternative scene in Swiss cities, top contemporary art galleries, and a plethora of film, music, and design festivals. And we won't forget the scientists at CERN, who are trying to discover the fundamental building blocks of the universe with the help of the world's largest experiment. The Alpine landscape that so captivated Thomas Cook and his group of travelers in 1863 on one of the first organized tours still attracts millions of tourists. The guide provides practical information about local transportation, accommodation, dining, and entertainment options, even for a 'backpacker' budget. With clear maps and a language section with a dictionary, you won't get lost in a country where four official languages are spoken with many dialects.
