With the 4-days Swiss Pass we enjoyed ourselves enormously, getting on and off trains as we pleased, making the most of each day, and doing things for fun free of additional charges. We explored Zürich, Lucerne, Lugano and Bern, we went up Mt Stanserhorn and Mt Rigi by cable cars, we took boat trips on...

After visiting the Einstein Museum, we spent few hours having a look around a beautiful Bern’s old town – a blend of little shops and boutiques, galleries, restaurants, squares, quaint alleys, impressive historical buildings and fountains.
