Despite its relatively small size (California is nearly 10 times larger) and population (New York City has as many people), Switzerland is a destination unlike any other, renowned for its unrivaled beauty and charm.
A one-of-a-kind region calls for a unique means of travel. Therefore, the best way to experience the people, places and things that only Switzerland can offer is via a scenic train ride with Railbookers.
Basel, Bern, Geneva, Interlaken, Lucerne, St Moritz, Zermatt and Zurich are just a handful of Switzerland's most coveted destinations and each is available to passengers traveling with Railbookers.
Right now, Railbookers is introducing four new exciting journeys through Switzerland, including the nine-day Ultimate Golden Pass and Mountain Peaks itinerary traveling roundtrip from Zurich. Starting from just $1,699, this vacation features an overnight stay in Zurich as well as a night in charming Lausanne. Guests will also enjoy an interactive experience at Glacier3000 in the Alps before riding the iconic Golden Pass train to Grindelwald.
Other highlights of the Ultimate Golden Pass and Mountain Peaks vacation include a day trip to Jungfrau, a visit to the ancient city of Lucerne and a journey to the top of Mount Pilatus.
Three other vacations ranging from 10 to 15 days are available as well, including the Treasures of Switzerland and Italy journey from Zurich to Rome (starting from $1,699); the Grand Tour of Switzerland traveling roundtrip from Zurich (starting from $3,439) and the Ultimate Swiss Lakes vacation traveling from Geneva to Lugano (starting from $1,979).
