SWITZERLAND
In Switzerland, nothing is left unregulated. Everything is marked even on the top of the mountains where the parking places are metered!!! All parking garages are fully automatic and washed daily with detergent making you afraid to step on the floor.
When you look over a Switzerland landscape, urban or rural, you have the feeling that you are watching a maquette model of cities. Everything is so well trimmed, and the attention to detail is obsessive, like in a toy model with trains crossing, stopping and starting, several at a time, all of different shapes and forms, climbing mountains, or going into tunnels.
The German part is by far the most interesting with the Alps mountain peaks covered in snow inviting you to hike its glaciers, Jungfraujoch, Aletsch Glacier, and Materhor In Zermatt as well as in Fiesch and Furka Pass. Near the German border is the Rhine Falls, and relatively close by is St Gallen with its impressive merchant houses with painted balconies.
The French side exudes a cosmopolitan vibe in Montreux, Aubonne, Lausanne, and Geneva on Lake Leman and hikes in Forclaz pass. The Italian side has Lugano, Locarno, Bellinzona, Lake Como, Menaggio, Valmalenco, and great hikes in Tirano and Bernina pass.
Besides all these, there is a collection of interesting sites in the capital, Zurich, in Luzern, Interlaken, and St Moritz.
