SWITZERLAND

Bern (Switzerland) - Who has seen breathtaking alpine landscapes amazed that portray Switzerland in many commercials from many different brands of chocolate, who has dreamed of getting lost in nature that was cool background to Heidi, who has admired in the cards' Order of Swiss cities so perfect that it seems fake ... not going to be disappointed in Switzerland!

Indeed for walkers will be impossible not to have the impression of being catapulted into a postcard, a cartoon or an advertisement! But when the wake up ... or maybe it should say the cuckoo clock sound, you will realize that this is not a dream: Switzerland is just so, so beautiful as to seem magical, as ordered seem to be fake!

The Board for the greedy is almost obvious: get your fill of souvenirs made of chocolate!



Ouchy, the old fishing port of Lausanne, is now a popular resort on the shore of the lake. The old man, a 12-century castle was enlarged in 1890 to form the current figure of a neo-Gothic chateau-hotel. Only the high castle tower remains from the original Romanesque.



Pretty town of 60,000 inhabitants, Lucerne lies on the west shore of Lake Lucerne. Reuss River crosses the city, dividing it into two parts, connected by seven bridges. The most characteristic of these bridges is undoubtedly the Kappelbruecke, covered with wood and dating from the fourteenth century.

At the center of the bridge stands an imposing octagonal tower, known as the Water Tower, once a prison and treasury.



Crossing the bridge leads to Weinmarkt (the square of the wine market) and here you get Kornmarkt (Market Square of wheat) in this square is the Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall), flanked by a palace of '600 tower 500. Taking the Furrengasse Kappellplatz you get to where you can admire the oldest church in the city.
