![Neuchâtel: Unique City in Switzerland - Mediterranean Vibes [Travel Guide]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ri7L7kw-bU8/mqdefault.jpg "Neuchâtel: Unique City in Switzerland - Mediterranean Vibes [Travel Guide]
Neuchâtel (Neuenburg) is considered to be one of Switzerland most beautiful cities. It lays in the French speaking part of Switzerland and enchants with its visitors with its happy vibes. The city is very vibrant, many people love to stroll through the various streets and alleys, do shopping or go for sightseeing. The city is full of limestone houses, which are very characteristic for Neuchâtel, rendering this city very distinct from the others of Switzerland. A must-see are the castle and the church on the hill in the middle of the city. They are considered historic landmarks from the days when Neuchâtel still followed a royal system being under French or Prussian rule. The church’s interior is very beautiful, especially with the ceiling. Neuchâtel has a beautiful lake promenade. Point of interest are Beau Rivage and the docks with the many boats. During Summer you even can go for swimming.
Neuchâtel is best to be reached by train, although arrival by car is possible. The train station is about 15 minutes from the city centre by walk, but you may take a shortcut by bus. Neuchâtel and the entire canton are great for cheap vacations as they have some attractive budget travelers offers. If you stay in any hotel in the canton, you get a booklet full of vouchers that provide you free public transportation and entry to the museums during the date of validity. It is valid for 1 day if you stay for 1 night, otherwise as many days as nights that you booked. All in all, Neuchâtel is a wonderful Swiss city, underrated but among the most beautiful ones!

![Top 10 Switzerland Places I visited in 2021 – Best Attractions / Highlights [Travel Guide]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sd6TnoVpgw0/mqdefault.jpg "Top 10 Switzerland Places I visited in 2021 – Best Attractions / Highlights [Travel Guide]
I was hopeful to do some international travels in 2021, but instead I stayed back in Switzerland. Nevertheless, I managed to travel around a lot in my home country Switzerland. The year 2021 was full of highlights: I got to discover many hidden gems and other Top places of Switzerland. Thus, after all these travels, I present you my Top 10 Switzerland places that I visited in the year 2021. Switzerland offers so many amazing things: great hiking trails, lakes, cities, villages, adventurous activities and more! I really enjoyed my visit to the city of Thun, which is very comparable to more famous Lucerne. Thun is a wonderful old city with wooden bridges just by the lake with a great alpine panorama and you can even see the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. The discovery of the year was my visit to the Lake of Les Brenets (Parc du Doubs) in the canton of Neuchâtel. I would say its one of the best places to witness the colors of Autumn. Really beautiful were the cruise on the Brenets lake and the visit to the Saut du Doubs. The adventure park at the Rhine Falls were also really thrilling. There are so many great trails with tricky obstacles. Fun, lots of zip lines and great views to the Rhinefalls. Sledding at the town of Bergün was really cool too! The village is very charming during Winter and the train ride up to Preda with the famous glacier express was quite exciting. The toboggan run was fantastic: Great views to the train line when sledding down hill for a couple of kilometres! The hidden gem of 2021 was the Lake at Champex-Lac. Its a wonderful hidden gem that is stunning at any time of the year. The lake looks brilliant and is a true oasis of serenity. A great place to take a break. Chästeilet at the Justital was one of my favorite traditions I got to witness in 2021. Its a unique event, where the farmers are sharing their cheeses among each other through a lucky draw process. Its a great event that very well represents Swiss culture! Up on the Fronalpstock, I had one of my best sunsets I have wintessed in 2021. There was a sea of clouds, which covered the entire landscape. Only few mountains were visible, which gave the scene a wonderful impression. I consider this being a Top destination up in the Swiss Alps. Lake Saoseo was the most beautiful lake I probably have ever visited. For that I had to hike up 2 hours and got so many wonderful impressions. The lake was glowing in a wonderful blue color, which was complemented by the green spruces and golden larches... a top highlight of Autumn in Switzerland. Very enjoyable was my sunrise tour at the Altesch Glacier. The panorama over the glacier and the Swiss Alps was unforgettable. The hike down to the Märjelensee was also very enjoyable, especially when having reached the front of the glacier. The Altesch Glacier is the largest glacier of the Alps! The best trip I made was to Oeschinensee. Its a wonderful lake embedded in the bernese Alps. The lake is a perfect place for hiking. There are a lot of great photospots... in fact, many people say that Oeschinensee is considered an instagram wonder of Switzerland. Really thrilling was also the Alpine Rollercoaster, which shall not be missed when visiting up there. These are the Top 10 best places of Switzerland that I visited in 2021!

![Ticino OR Valais SWITZERLAND: Where to travel? [Full Guide]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ukMB2g_jqjQ/mqdefault.jpg "Ticino OR Valais SWITZERLAND: Where to travel? [Full Guide]
How to choose: TICINO or Valais? Both cantons are nearby, they share some similarities but otherwise are very different from each other. Now where to travel to? Based on various categories and the advantages and disadvantages of either of the cantons, you will then know where to go to. Valais is French- and german-speaking, Ticino is Italian-speaking.

Valais can be reached from the west, north and east from Switzerland. Valais is in general easier accessible, during Summer there is a direct connection to Ticino but that one is not open during Winter. Ticino has 3 major cities – Lugano, Locarno and Bellinzona – with beautiful old centres, while in Valais the nice cities are Sion and Brig. In Brig there is a big castle, in Bellinzona there are 3 castles to be visited. Lugano and Locarno are by the lake, which is why these cities are charming as you can stroll along the lake promenade. In Ticino you furthermore can access the nearby summits to oversee the cities, in Valais this is not possible.
