I&#8217;d always been a fan and I&#8217;d been on a few, but seeing as my husband was the sole driver on our escapades he had total dibs on our destinations &#8211; he drives, he picks. But the tables have now turned!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new 1000-mile long tourist route encompasses four language regions, five Alpine passes, 22 lakes, and 11 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and incalculable viewpoints.

Switzerland&#8217;s largest city&#8230; that is nonetheless relatively small. Z\u00fcrich is a walkable, cosmopolitan metropolis where one does not only find the world&#8217;s oldest vegetarian restaurant but also a peaceful lakefront and steep, historic cobblestone alleys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of chocolate shops to keep you sated (like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spruengli.ch\/?lang=en\">Sprungli<\/a>, which has an\u00a0outdoor terrace that locals love) and picturesque viewpoints (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jules-verne.ch\/\">Jules Verne panoramabar<\/a>, Grossm\u00fcnster&#8217;s bell tower, Lindenhof park) to enjoy the city and its surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Side note: Z\u00fcrich airport is one of my favourites in Europe. It&#8217;s compact in size and efficiently laid-out, which makes it easy to navigate even with short connections. If you have the possibility to\u00a0land in Z\u00fcrich, do it!<\/p>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_d8a2e4-7a > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_d8a2e4-7a >
