Switzerland-Interlaken. Review on Switzerland, General

?Agar ruhe zami asto ami asto ami asto?, the meaning of this phrase is if there is heaven on this earth it is here, it is here. This was said about Kashmir centuries back by an Arabic saint but in true sense it is applicable for Switzerland.

No doubt Switzerland is one of the most beautiful country of the world though expensive with Indian standards. With emergence of so many package tours by Thomas cook, Raj Travels, Cox & King & so on thousands of Indians are seen in Switzerland streets every summer.

The climate is moderate with no excessive heat, cold or humidity. The favorable time to visit is in summer though on the altitudes the temperature is even less. In Switzerland the best way to discover this country is purchasing a Swiss pass, flexi pass, youth pass etc. These tickets save money and time while offers maximum flexibility. There are discounts for groups and also for children.

This pass is valid in all trains and buses run by Swiss govt. Indians can buy these passes in India and can save foreign exchange. Switzerland has one of the best train systems in the world with all kinds of luxuries.

Almost all trains have a dinning car and one can enjoy his breakfast or lunch while dramatic scenery rolls by or bask in the glorious landscape. While traveling in trains one can enjoy the mountains like Jungfraujoch that is highest in Europe, beautiful lakes, sceneries and almost all God?s created things.

Numerous UNESCO world heritage locations have been designated of extraordinary universal importance and a must see for the tourist. I like the small city called Interlaken though other cities like Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Lausanne, Luccerene are really fascinating towns.

Interlaken is small town sandwiched between two lakes, towered by the formidable mountain trio of Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau.It is a beautiful valley scattered with lakes and villages and the forest hide some great hikes. Two of its greatest attractions are Jungfraujoch the highest railway station of Europe and Schithorn peak with its revolving restaurant Piz Gloria. Here one has to pay additional amount in train even he has Swiss pass.

In shopping handicrafts, watches and chocolates are very popular. It is an expensive country and if going alone with family plan the things in advance like hotel reservations etc. One can also go through the site MySwitzerland.com for weather and every thing. There are youth hostels, which have rooms and good for a couple. It is a safe country though one has to be always alert with his wallet.
