EUROPE at a glanceVery few places in the world can recreate the timeless splendour of Europe – a historical, cultural and geographical continent which holds most of the must-see countries of the world. From North to South, this dramatic mass of culture keeps on thrilling, surprising and mystifying with its surprising wealth of sights, sounds, peoples and parties. Be prepared for the most enchanting and exciting trip of a lifetime as your eyes, ears and tastebuds take a journey to a part of the earth that never ceases to amaze!

Europe has a startling wealth of history. You’ll be astonished to experience the intertwining of ancient and modern that Europe presents visitors with at every turn. The origins of democracy were founded in Athens, the Forum of Rome, the renaissance buildings and inspiring art of Florence, the romantic canals of Venice and the Napoleonic grandeur of Paris. Yet you’ll also encounter the less-expected sites such as the timeless Romantic Road of Bavaria, Germany and the grand Alps of France, Switzerland and Italy.

Europe today is a continent more united than ever, with the European Union (EU) stretching from the Arctic to the top of Africa, and a single currency now used in the majority of European states. The centuries of history behind these countries have brought unique cultural values and traditions. There are very few places where you can pass through so many countries in such a short span of time and witness the striking differences between each one!

TIMELINE OF SWITZERLAND

2nd Cent.

B.C. A Celtic tribe, the Helvetians, associated with the Swiss plateau, giving Switzerland her Latin name, Helvetia.

3rd C. B.C. -

5th C. A.D.The Romans gradually conquer all of Switzerland and depart in the early 5th Century. A.D.

A.D. 500

-1000 The Dark Ages. Charlemagne (742-814) becomes first ruler of a Western European Empire since the Romans, crowned in 800 A.D. by Pope Leo III, on Christmas Day.

1032 All Swiss territory comes under the rule of the German Emperor Conrad I I.

1220s Opening of the St. Gotthard Pass controlled by the cantons Schwyz and Uri.

1291 The foundation of the Swiss Confederation. The cantons of Schwyz, Uri and Unterwalden swear an oath of allegiance, by Lake Lucerne, to protect their lands from imperial encroachment.

1315 Swiss army defeats Austrian troops at the decisive battle of Morgarten. The slow expansion of the Confederation begins.

1332-53 Lucerne, Zurich, Glarus and Bern join the Confederation.

1450 Following the battle of St. an der Birs in 1444, when Zurich and French mercenaries defeated the Confederate armies, a treaty was reached when Zurich agreed to renounce its treaty with Austria.

1481 The Council of Stans settles tensions within the Confederation and admits Solothurn and Fribourg as full members.

1498-99 The treaty of Basel, signed at the end of the Swabian War, recognised the independence of the Confederation from the Habsburg Empire.

1501 Basel and Schaffhausen join the Confederation.

1513 Appenzell joins the Confederation.

1515 The Battle of Marignano.

1536 Bern invaded Vaud and entered Geneva, allowing Geneva to keep its independence but annexing Lausanne and Vaud.

1618-48 The 30 years War largely between the Holy Roman Empire and its Catholic allies against Protestant Europe. Whilst the Confederation was neutral, armed incursions into its territory were not unknown. This helped to formalise the concept of armed neutrality. At the end of the war, the Treaty of Westphalia formally recognised Swiss independence.

1798 The French occupy Switzerland and set up a centralised Helvetic Republic, abolishing all administrations and boundaries.

1803 Following a slide into civil war, Napoleon passes the Mediation Act, restoring former cantons and creating six new ones: Sankt. Gallen, Graubünden, Thurgau, Ticino, Aargau, and Vaud.

1815 Following the final defeat of Napoleon, the former Swiss order is returned. Valais, Neuchâtel and Geneva join the Swiss Confederation.

1848 The Federal Constitution is adopted.

1874 Complete revision of the Federal Constitution,extending direct democracy to federal level.

BERN – the Swiss capital.The bear featured on the present city coat of arms first appeared in 1224. Bern became a university city in 1834, and in 1848 it was chosen to be the Federal Capital of Switzerland by the 1st National Swiss Parliament.

GENEVA - close to the French border in the southwest corner of Switzerland – is a cosmopolitan city and home to many international organisations, the most famous being the United Nations. With lush forests, museums, art galleries, an Opera House and, of course, Lake Geneva with its ‘jet d’eau’ fountain, Geneva has something for everyone to enjoy.

INTERLAKEN In the Jungfrau Region between the sparkling waters of Lake Brienz and Lake Thun – lies at the foot of the world-famous Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau mountains. Its horse-drawn carriages offer an ideal opportunity to enjoy the best of Switzerland!

LOCARNO & LUGANO Unite the splendour of the Swiss Alps with the serenity of their lakes. Their Mediterranean climate and tropical vegetation contrast dramatically with the ruggedness of the Alps.

LUCERNE – one of the loveliest cities in Switzerland – is the storybook image of a Swiss town, abounding in cobblestoned streets, spires and turrets, covered bridges, frescoed houses and fountains. A visit to Mt. Titlis or Mt. Pilatus is also highly-recommended.

MONTREUX – the ‘Pearl of the Swiss Riviera’ – is situated on the shores of Lake Geneva. Montreux has casinos, hosts rock and jazz festivals and is a modern, up-tempo holiday resort. A visit to the Chateau de Chillon is a must!

ST. MORITZ – located on the shores of the pristine-waters of the Inn River is the jewel of the Engadine Valley! A perfect blend of unspoiled natural terrain, exhilarating walks and a host of cultural events, with 322 days of sunshine annually, St. Moritz in summer is carefree, sophisticated and dynamic.

ZERMATT - lies at the foot of the Matterhorn. The town’s touristic development is closely linked to what is most-probably the world’s most-famous mountain. This destination is a car-free zone, has preserved its original character and offers nearly unlimited possibilities as far as excursions are concerned.

ZURICH - with a magnificent view of the snowcapped Alps on the horizon, Zürich Downtown offers a unique mixture of attractions – over 50 museums and more than 100 art galleries, shops with international fashion labels and the most lively nightlife in Switzerland!

J U N G F R A U R A I L W AY – A P I O N E E R I N G W O R K

The cogwheel railway takes passengers from Kleine Scheidegg to the Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe, is Europe’s highest-altitude railway station in a world of rock, ice and snow. Seven of the nine kilometres of railway are in a tunnel hewn in the rock of the Eiger and Mönch.

THE JUNGFRAU RAILWAY

Europe’s highest-altitude railway station was opened on 1 August in 1912 (Swiss National Day). At 3,454 metres above sea level, the scenically spectacular Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe – became accessible to a wider public. The idea of building a railway up the Jungfrau Mountain came to Adolf Guyer-Zeller, an already renowned railway-pioneer, while hiking in the Jungfrau Region in 1893. Captivated by the towering trio – Eiger, Mönch & Jungfrau, he jotted down notes and sketches which corresponded very-closely to the subsequent planning and construction of the Jungfrau Railway. Others before him had dreamed of building what became known as the “railway to the sky”.

WATER TOWER OF LUCERNE

Archive, treasury and prisonThe Water Tower is one of Lucerne’s most well-known landmarks. Built in the first half of the 14th century, it predates the Chapel Bridge. The old stork’s nest, which hasn’t been occupied in a century, isn’t its only noteworthy characteristic. The tower is octagonal in form, a shape that Kaiser Friedrich II loved and favoured for his most beautiful buildings. From its roof to the ground, the water tower measures 34.5 metres. Its circumference is a full 38 metres. In its long history, the enormous structure has served various purposes. First it was a defence and watchtower, and later it was used as an archive, treasury and preparation chamber. With walls measuring 4-5 metres thick, the lowest room was used as a prison cell. Its interior was completely dark, and the poor prisoners who came there had to sit on a toggle and be lowered into the cell through a hole. There was also a torture chamber in the late Middle Ages. Today, the middle floor is home to the headquarters of the Lucerne Artillery Association.

LIECHTENSTEIN The Principality of Liechtenstein

The House of Liechtenstein is one of the oldest noble families in Europe and a very successful entrepreneurial family! The Princely Art Collections are among the most-important private art-collections in the world and encompass major works of European art over four centuries.

Vaduz Castle is the residence of the Princely Family. Visible from far-away and yet close enough to touch, the famous landmark is perched on a rocky terrace above Vaduz, accessible by a romantic footpath. If the blue-red flag with the golden crown flies above the Castle, the Prince is at home. See Vaduz for it’s culture, gastronomy, the beautiful outdoors, festivals and unique way of life. A one-night stop just doesn’t do Liechtenstein’s many attractions justice!

GLACIER EXPRESS ZERMATT - ST. MORITZ

A 7½ hour railway journey across 291 bridges, through 91 tunnels and across the Oberalp Pass at 2’033 metres. The Glacier Express travels a picturesque route between the Graubünden holiday region, the sunny Valais region with its glacier landscape, and the regions of the South. Travel in comfort through the natural beauty of a landscape rich in ancient mountain forests, peaceful alpine meadows, rushing mountain streams and mountain valleys.

It was on June 25, 1930 that the Glacier Express started summer operations from Zermatt to St.Moritz, but it was to take more than 50 years before the trains were able to also cross the impassable Furka alpine route in winter. Construction work on the Furka tunnel between Oberwald and Realp began in 1973 and services could finally start on 26 June 1982, allowing the Glacier Express to run year-round.

GORNERGRAT BAHN

Dangerous, wild and mysterious, the world of the Alps has attracted increasing numbers of people since the 18th century. One mountain in particular, fascinated the early adventurers more than any other: the 4485m Matterhorn. The first ascent of the Matterhorn was regarded as a sensation at the time!

Almost equally-strong was the interest of the first alpinists in the Gornergrat, from where the view takes in 29 four-thousand-metre peaks, many of which can be climbed starting from that baseline. According to history, the first tourist to stand on the Gornergrat was Scottish glacier explorer Professor James David Forbes in 1842. The first photographs of the Gornergrat panorama appeared in the Baedeker Travel Guide in 1856 and in 1862 the Gornergrat finally appeared on the Swiss Dufour Map.

Actual tourism on the Gornergrat began to develop around 1870. By 1890, even before completion of the railway to Zermatt, some 8,000 guests had already visited the Gornergrat.

LAUTERBRUNNEN VALLEY Bernese Oberland

Lauterbrunnen is situated in one of the most-impressive trough valleys in the Alps, between gigantic rock faces and mountain peaks! With its 72 thundering waterfalls, secluded valleys, colourful alpine meadows and lonely mountain inns, the Lauterbrunnen Valley is one of the biggest nature conservation areas in Switzerland.

The very name ‘Lauter Brunnen’ (‘many fountains’) suggests the magnificence of this landscape. There are 72 waterfalls in the Lauterbrunnen Valley, the most famous being the Staubbach Falls. Plunging almost 300 metres from an overhanging rock face, they are one of the highest free-falling waterfalls in Europe! In 1779, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe visited the valley, and was inspired by the roaring waters to write his well-known poem ‘Spirit Song over the Waters’

Another natural phenomenon is the Trümmelbach Falls in the ‘Black Monk’ mountain, hidden behind mighty rock faces. Up to 20,000 litres of water per second cascade over the ten glacier falls from a total height of about 200 metres.

THE CHAPEL BRIDGE

Today, the Chapel Bridge runs from the Lucerne Theatre on the southern bank of the Reuss to St. Peter’s Chapel at Rathausquai, zigzagging as it passes the older Water Tower. Built in the middle of the 14th century, the Chapel Bridge rests on stone columns beneath the river’s surface. Originally, the bridge was a part of Lucerne’s fortifications.

The series of triangular paintings under the eaves of their rooftop decorating the Chapel Bridge was created in the first quarter of the 17th century. Municipal clerk and scholar Renward Cysat developed the concept. Artist Hans Wägmann painted the pictures and councilman Hans Rudolf von Sonnenberg wrote the accompanying text. The images show scenes illustrating the history of Lucerne and Switzerland, as well as legends from the lives of city patrons Mauritius and Leodegar. Unfortunately, a fire on 18 August, 1993, destroyed a large portion of the bridge and the paintings.

J U N G F R A U R A I L W AY – A P I O N E E R I N G W O R KThe cogwheel railway takes passengers from Kleine Scheidegg to the Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe, is Europe’s highest-altitude railway station in a world of rock, ice and snow. Seven of the nine kilometres of railway are in a tunnel hewn in the rock of the Eiger and Mönch.

THE JUNGFRAU RAILWAY Europe’s highest-altitude railway station was opened on 1 August in 1912 (Swiss National Day). At 3,454 metres above sea level, the scenically spectacular Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe – became accessible to a wider public. The idea of building a railway up the Jungfrau Mountain came to Adolf Guyer-Zeller, an already renowned railway pioneer, while hiking in the Jungfrau Region in 1893. Captivated by the towering trio – Eiger, Mönch & Jungfrau, he jotted down notes and sketches which corresponded very-closely to the subsequent planning and construction of the Jungfrau Railway. Others before him had dreamed of building what became known as the “railway to the sky”.

LINDT SWISS CHOCOLATE HEAVEN NEW AT TOP OF EUROPE

The Lindt Swiss Chocolate Heaven makes the experience on the Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe even sweeter. The world’s highest-altitude Lindt-Experience Shop offers a wide selection of Lindt’s finest chocolate. The master chocolatier atelier provides fascinating insights into the art of chocolate production.

To prevent air pollution which could obscure the town's view of the Matterhorn, the entire town is a combustion engine car-free zone.

Almost all vehicles in Zermatt are battery-driven and almost completely-silent. Electric vehicles are allowed for local commerce. The Cantonal Police can issue a permit which allows residents to drive and park at the northern outskirts. Some emergency services (fire trucks, ambulances) and municipal vehicles/buses are also allowed to use combustion engines.

Passenger vehicles operating within Zermatt include tiny electric shuttles provided by hotels to carry visitors from the main train station (or the taxi transfer point just outside town) to the hotel properties, "electro" taxis operated by four major Zermatt families, and "electro" buses. Horse-drawn carriages can also be found; some are operated by hotels and others are available for hire. Most visitors reach Zermatt by cogwheel-railway train from the nearby town of Täsch (Zermatt shuttle). Trains also depart for Zermatt from farther down the valley at Visp and Brig, which are on the main Swiss Rail Network.

BERNINA EXPRESSOne of the most spectacular ways to cross the Alps: the Bernina Express from Chur to Tirano (via St. Moritz) links up regions with different languages and cultures.

On the highest railway across the Alps, the Bernina Express climbs up to the glistening glaciers before descending to the palms of Italy far below. This rail link between Northern and Southern Europe builds bridges between regions with different languages and cultures.

Bernina Express from Tirano to St. Moritz ©RhB Cogwheel rail from Davos © Davos Tourism Winter in Davos © Davos Tourism

The railway is unique, blending into the alpine landscapes around the Albula and Bernina Passes. The train negotiates the 55 tunnels, 196 bridges and inclines of up to 70 per mille with ease. At the highest point on the RhB, 2,253 metres above sea level, you will find the Ospizio Bernina. Here, visitors can enjoy the Alps at their most impressive. The railway line from Thusis to Tirano has UNESCO World Heritage status.

Travel comfortably on the Bernina Express Bus from Tirano to Lugano. Tirano is the departure point for the journey through the picturesque landscape of Valtellina – an Italian valley famous for its wines. Gaze out over pretty bays and charming little fishing villages as you travel along the shores of Lake Como. The narrow roads that hug the shores of Lake Lugano bring us on into Switzerland and our destination, Lugano.

THINGS TO DO IN BRIENZOPEN AIR MUSEUM BALLENBERGSince the 1970s old farmhouses, stables, bakehouses or barns are no longer demolished when they are due to be replaced by modern buildings. Instead, the buildings are dismantled stone by stone, and rebuilt in the Ballenberg Open Air Museum. What began in 1978 with 16 characteristic Swiss buildings, is today an extensive exhibition with about 100 residential and agricultural buildings from all over Switzerland, on a 66 hectare large area: this is the Ballenberg Open Air Museum. The historic buildings and their kitchens, chambers and living rooms illustrate rural life in Switzerland.

EVENTS IN AND AROUND APPENZELLURNÄSCH ALPINE PROCESSIONIn September, farmer families that live on the alps dress in traditional festive costume and move with their cattle back to the valley. The procession walks for hours descending into the valley, and is received by an enthusiastic audience in Urnäsch. The alpine procession is a large festival that enables ancient traditions to come to life again: at the farmers’ market, where one can sample Appenzell cheese and other specialties, with the boys’ choir or with the lively pigs race.

APPENZELLThis village is situated in a beautiful landscape of rolling hills. The region is known for its rural customs and traditions such as the ceremonial descent of the cattle in autumn and cultural events such as folk music and rustic dances, as well as hiking tours in the Alpstein region The car-free village beckons with pretty lanes and a myriad of small stores and boutiques that are ideal for shopping and browsing. The facades of the buildings are decorated with frescoes.

BRIENZBrienz is located in the middle of charming mountains at the eastern-end of turquoise-coloured Lake Brienz. The cosy village is starting point for excursions to the Bernese Oberland, the Ballenberg Open-air Museum but also to Lucerne or Interlaken or across the nearby Alpine passes. Probably the most-romantic part of Brienz is the Brunngasse which, having once been awarded the title «most beautiful street in Europe», is well-known abroad. Most of the houses in the street date from the 18th century and are decorated with wood carvings. Brienz, which is well-known as the “village of carving” has a long tradition in wood processing and to this day has a school for carving and violin-making.

Basel – Switzerland’s capital of culture.Nestling in the heart of Europe in the three countries corner where Switzerland, Germany and France meet, Basel is a pocket-sized metropolis that combines proverbial Swiss quality with a multicultural population. This makes the city unmistakably open-minded, vibrant and innovative.

For museum lovers, one thing is quite clear: Basel is not a city that can be discovered in just a few hours. Boasting over 40 museums and the city is therefore rightly referred to as the cultural capital of Switzerland. It is almost incredible how much art you can enjoy in Basel.

River CruisesThe port city of Basel is a popular star-ting or end point for Rhine River cruises. Take the opportunity and combine your river cruise with a stop at a museum, a city tour or an overnight stay in one of the city’s many hotels. Basel Tourism as the city of Basels official tourism is plea-sed to advise you competently and neu-trally about our region. Our large and va-ried network enables us to cover all your needs. Our in-house Incoming depart-ment - an experienced partner in the or-ganisation of all kind of events is at your request.

The savoir-vivre in BaselThe Rhine plays a key role in the life and development of Basel. It is both a vital waterway and a favourite place for re-creation. The Rhine has always been the gateway to the sea and therefore an im-portant trade route. But more important is undoubtedly its contribution to the high quality of life that Basel can offer its guests and inhabitants. Local people are very fond of their river, and accordin-gly spend a great deal of time beside it and in it – strolling along its idyllic banks, swimming or simply relaxing.

Historic Town BaselWith one of the most beautiful and best-preserved historic town centres in Europe, Basel is far more than a mere backdrop. You will experience history at first hand in the heart of the city. The Old Town is divided into two parts by the River Rhine: Grossbasel and Kleinbasel. Both parts of the city have their own individual charm. Kleinbasel entices with the Rhine bank, which in-vites to linger and relax on its sunny riverbanks. The Old Town of Grossbasel captivates with its picturesque squares and quaint winding alleys.
