BERN’S OLD TOWN
A UNESCO World Heritage Site,
the Swiss capital’s medieval Old
Town is a real beauty. Its charming
lauben (covered walkways) shelter
independent boutiques, little cafés
and buzzing bars hidden beneath
cellar doors (p62).

SCENIC RAIL
Part of the fun of travelling
around Switzerland is the
journey itself. The country’s rail
routes are truly extraordinary,
both as feats of engineering
and for the incredible scenery
they pass through (p40).

3 RURAL TRADITIONS

From Schwingen (wrestling) to
Hornussen (a combination of
golf and baseball), via cowbell
ringing and alphorn playing, the
past is still very much a part of
modern Swiss life (p32).
