Only have three days to enjoy the best places in Switzerland May I suggest quality over quantity I recommend you choose just one place as your base on your Switzerland trip and see it properly rather than squeeze too much in Although you d probably like to fit in as much in three days as you would if you had one week in Switzerland you re not going to fully appreciate the places you visit if you overdo it Sometimes and definitely in this case less is more What is your must see in Switzerland If it s the Alps you have plenty of options Spend your three days in Switzerland in either Lucerne Interlaken or Zermatt Interested in learning more about using the Swiss Rail System to travel around Switzerland Read our comprehensive guide here If it s the charm of Switzerland s elegant medieval cities that you ve always wanted to experience Zurich Bern and Lucerne all offer plenty to see and do Basing yourself in one destination doesn t mean you can t visit other places One benefit of having a single base is that you will save valuable time by not having to change accommodation each night A day trip from Interlaken to Lucerne or vice versa is definitely possible so you can still combine the best of both worlds from one convenient base
