Review

Fodor Travel Guides never disappoint, and this one, in particular, is no exception.

The writers and the editor did a superb job putting together this fantastic guide, with a full description of places, which fulfills all our demands for information about what entertainment and attractions in Switzerland, and what’s required to enjoy it.

I visited that region some years ago. Looking at this guide made me want to come back and revisit many places, as well as visit new ones.

The illustrated Fodor Switzerland guide is full of beautiful photos and maps, and they go deep into details on every attraction that you can find in that country, covering even Liechtenstein (as a bonus).
Among many remembrances I had from my trip, one most treasured was when I visited Geneva, and memories came back to, revived through photos and precise descriptions of places.
They propose a sample itinerary for a 10-day trip that covers the most important locations in that whole country (Zürich, Luzern, Zermatt, Geneva and Lauterbrunnen), besides giving you a high-level picture of the history of each place. Suggested attractions to visit have a reference price and hours of operation. Other itineraries proposed are a Swiss Gastronomy (9-days) and a Castles & Cathedrals (8-days) itineraries.
Finally, the “Where to Eat”, “Where to Stay” and “Nightlife” sections of the guide are a tremendous help when you are planning your trip.

This Fodor Guide is an outstanding result for a combined effort from seven different writers
The book is great those who are serious about planning their travels. If you are traveling for the first time, want to remember details of previous trips, or wish for a return to Switzerland, take a shot at this excellent publication.

Amazon.com was provided the book through their Vine Program. They did not request a positive review, and the opinions expressed here are my own.

    I have always wanted to travel to Switzerland. I have never been outside of the United States and I always wanted to travel through Europe and Switzerland is near the top of that list. This full color travel guide seems to be a great resource for anyone looking to travel to Switzerland.

    I’ve always wanted to travel more, and one day that’s “gonna” happen.

    When I do, I will most certainly pick up a copy of Fodor’s. I have known about them for a long long time (about 40 yrs. it seems).

    They’re simply the best travel books I’ve come across ever and highly recommend them; and I’m sure the Switzerland book is no different.
