I was 20 yrs old when I was in student in Zuerich. I spent 2.5 wonderful years. To be honest, I didn't appreciate the beauty of the country as much as I should as I was kind of a city boy. Decades later, if given a choice to live in any country I want...there is no other country I would rather live in. I actually can't bear to watch much of this video as it brings back too many fond memories...and I will start to miss Switzerland too much.

One city that was not covered in the video is Geneva. I visited Switzerland in May, 2023 and was in awe of this gorgeous city located on the lake with the Alps showing in the background. As a headquarters for many international institutions, the modern architecture of their offices is amazing. The designs are often very innovative and there is use of beautifully colored building materials like glass and granite. The city has a lively street scene and is full of historic buildings and museums to visit. Everything in Geneva runs like a perfect Swiss watch. I think Geneva is one of the most beautiful and interesting cities I have ever visited. Geneva is not to be missed.

Rick Steve.... Two given names and one excellent presenter....

I was just in Luzern, Bern, and Zurich at Christmas. Fascinating to try and recognize the same places in winter. Very different. Rick needs to do Christmas in Switzerland. I recommend it, and it's very, very different from this.

proud to live in the mountains around Luzern. One of the loveliest areas in CH

It"s a very beautiful country...I intend to visit it again....

I was so glad that my younger sis & I were there in year 2013 for our good memories ... Two thumbs up relaxation in the centre of Swiss ... -K in Germany

Rick has a way of making places look 10 times more exciting than they really are! I live in Switzerland and although it’s a charming country with beautiful small towns and nature, some of these scenes in the video are more enjoyable than real life! ❤️

@andregrieder8508

Well, Zurich for instance is at least ten times less excitingly portrayed than it is in real time. I‘ve been living here for 70 years and I can assure that there‘s a lot more to enjoy and to discover, may it be in the arts (from contemporary to traditional), the night life (from Langstrasse to Zurich West), the nature (hiking, biking, swimming in the lake and Limmat) and the education (from ZHdK to University to ETH).

Beautiful La Suisse ! Happy to live here ! ❤️ 🇨🇭

I appreciate the pace of his speech pattern, it’s easy to follow.

fun fact: the wooden bridge in luzern, the Kapellbrücke, burnt down in 1993, so they built a new one in the exact same way so that it seems identical and authentic

How refreshing! Finally someone who get's the names right, pronounces places the right way and really brings also lesser known facts to foreigners. Well researched and very entertaining even for people who live in Switzerland and so are in the know! Wish there were more of Rick Steves...!

I love Switzerland. Been there 3 years ago. Fond memories. Will go back again. Love Lucern very much. 💕💕❤️

My long time dream is to visit Switzerland. God willing, it shall be fulfilled soon.

As a little hint: visit the city called "Solothurn", the oldest (and most beautiful ;)) baroque city in Switzerland. It's just a small city, maybe you need half a day, but it is worth it! Really haha ( as a little hint: If you like beer you can drink the citybeer "Öufi". "Öufi" means "eleven" and this number is the typical number of the town) You won't regret the visit!

Switzerland is the best🇨🇭

I spent 10 days there. Stunning beauty. Loved it

Rick you are always the first and best reference when planning any European holiday. love your work

I was just in Switzerland in May, 2023. The one thing that you should be prepared for is the VERY HIGH COST OF EVERYTHING!! Hotels, restaurants, bars, fast food places, all are mind boggling expensive. One bargain is the free city bus and tram pass that comes with your hotel stay. Ask the hotel reception to print it out. This entitles you to unlimited free travel on buses and trams. You can jump on any tram or bus and ride it from one end to the other and then transfer to another tram route. It's a good way to see much of the city. Also when you see something that interests you, you can quickly hop off and then hop back on after your visit. You can also save on expensive taxi fares to the airport or train station by taking the tram or bus there and using your free pass.

As a Canadian, I often wonder why some Europeans left countries that were as beautiful as this?

The cities they built over here were as beautiful as the cities they left. Those places were destroyed when it came time to rebuild for the automobile. Nobody in the Canada or US apparently had the courage to stand up to these travesties, so now all Americans and Canadians are subject to soul crushing asphalt and ugly buildings in all our communities.

It looks so beautiful, it's definitely now on my travel bucket list.

I agree that Schweiz is a wonderful place. On my first trip to Europe in 1987, I stayed in Lucerne. The next day it was raining, so I bought an umbrella. It was red, and the woman at the counter told me it was a woman's umbrella, and almost forbade me from buying it. I gave her very short shrift in my high school German.

I wish the waters were that clear near my hometown 😔

Majestic country lakes and mountains nice city’s with nice museums a country I much enjoyed.Switzerland Remember the Rock music Smoke on the water.byLed Zeppelin in the 196/7s great days in magestic country.
