Best of Switzerland 7-Day Itinerary by car
How to use this guide
Please always read the whole day before you leave. We give you different options for a day and we don't want you to miss a nice place you would have liked to see instead of the one you visited. We also give you a summary list at the beginning of the guide to make it easier for you to book everything. Your arrival and departure days are not included! We assume that you fly from weekend to weekend, so you have 8-9 days. If you need to cut the route, we recommend you cut the last day in Lucerne and drive directly back to Zurich from Lauterbrunnen.
Good to know, before you go!
You have decided to visit Switzerland - congratulations! It is one of the most beautiful places in Europe - if not the world! But here are some things you should know before you go to Switzerland:
Buy a Vignette
If you are traveling by car, you should consider purchasing a toll sticker (Vignette) in advance. You cannot drive on the highway without one. You can get pretty much anywhere without one, but it’s a bit of a hassle. We would recommend one, but it is up to you to decide, depending on how long you plan to stay in Switzerland.It is only possible to buy an annual vignette, which costs CHF 40.Driving in Switzerland is cheaper than taking the train, as long as there are at least two of you.
