Three tips

City pages: Lucerne · Zurich · Zug · Aargau · Urkantone

Luzern

Set between lake and mountains, with an old town of cobblestones and half-timbered houses — this is where the everyday favourites are: café, lunch, after-work beer.

Zürich

Switzerland’s largest city with a surprisingly diverse food scene, from Kreis 4 to the lake basin — places that go beyond a Bahnhofstrasse shopping stroll.

Zug

A small town on Lake Zug, shaped by historic towers and an old town right on the water — the selection grows beyond the town limits, from the lakeside promenade to the surrounding villages.

Aargau

The canton between Zurich, Lucerne and Basel — known for its castles, medieval towns such as Bremgarten, Baden and Lenzburg, and the rivers Aare, Reuss and Limmat. Places away from the big cities that combine well into a day trip.

Urkantone

Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden around Lake Lucerne are considered the cradle of Switzerland. This is where you find places away from the big cities that combine well into a day trip between lake and mountains.
