The Alps - With 48 peaks soaring over 4000 metres high The Alps dominate Switzerland's tourist industry.

For the less energetic there are mountain railways to take you to the top of the mountains to enjoy the views or you can take a steamboat on the lakes and enjoy the mountains from sea level.
Cities - Each with it's own character and with the mountains as a backdrop 'city breaks' are becoming increasingly popular offering the chance to visit historic buildings, cruise the local lakes and visit the mountains in one trip.

Nightlife: Cities and tourist resorts have a large choice of bars and restaurants and it is not unusual for restaurants to host folk entertainment during the evenings.
