Switzerland

Maybe Heidi was wealthy all along

Fine architecture is everywhere, right down to the materials, light and details. The Alpine scenery is superb, too. So are the prices: in the world’s most expensive country, your money disappears quickly.

Getting around

For buildings in the mountains, check train and bus connections in both directions. Allow time beyond the intercity journey.

Exploring

Thermal baths and university buildings are working facilities. Check access and visitor conditions before you go.
