Switzerland

When you go up to the Messeturm there is a lovely bar -the "Bar Rouge". You have a wonderful view over the whole city. Especieally in the night it is very pretty The Zolli: in this zoo you can see a lot of different animals and all of them are living in a very trimly and broad enclosure.

Lucerne is one of the most beautiful cities in Switzerland. The city is seperated by the river Reuss, the one side of the city is called the old city and the other side the new city. The new city holds the train station and variuos new buildings. The most impressive of all is the KKL which stands for Art and Culture of Lucerne. The building is right next to the train station and is huge, well huge for swiss standards. The building has a concert hall, restaurants and bars, a gallery and a museum like walkabout path in the top floors that has a fantastic view over the city, lake and alps surrounding the lake of Lucerne. The building is deffinitly a must see! In the old city, across the river you will find lot's of shop's and café's, nice restaurant's and lovely cobblestone streets and paths, as cars are forbidden in the old city, one can stroll around and enjoy the beauty of this old and neat place. If you go there, then i recomend going to a shop called the Manor, the shop itself is full of crap, hideous tarts with far to much make up and drenched in perfume. But if you manage to get pass these dreadful creatures and make it to the escalator, then go all the way to the top floor. There you will find the Manor restaurant, the food is not bad at all, if you still have your apetite. In the middle of the restaurant there are stairs leading you to the jewel of it all, the terasse on the roof. Here you can enjoy your far to exspensive food and drinks while looking over the entire old city of Lucerne. It's really worth it.

The Greifensee close to Zurich is anice lake which on a nice trip can rounded by skates, bicycles or on foot (about 20 km) In fall every year the Greifenseelauf is taking place here. This halfmarathon (10km can be done as well) is one of the oldest and biggest annual running events in Switzerland. One should also mention the Climbing centre (Milandia) in Schwerzenbach which was opened in 2007. Next to the climbing centre other sport activities like tenis and golf can be performed as well.

On the sunny day have a walk on the Rhein in klein Basel (between Mittelbruecke and Wetsteinbruecke). You will love it!

Wear more clothes in the winter, if you are planning go to the Junflaujoch

Basel, beautiful Check out the trendy sushi bar called, NOOHN. I'ts located near Aeschenplatz; very cool, great music, good food and sexy astmosphere...unfortunately the bar is still smoking.

If possible come and visit basel in summer or spring, its rather a small town so ur best of to see it on foot or by pushbike! Cycle along the river and see parts of the oldtown during the day, for eg start near St.Alban and ride to "Birsköpfli", lie in the sun and have a swim in the rhine, then ride across the bridge and back along the river to the "Tinguely Museum"! Soon you'll be reaching the "mittlere brücke",go a bit further and have a cold beer at one of the "buvette", a relaxing bar where u can either sit under the shade or cool ur feet at the riverboard! When the sun sets you should hear a concert on the "Floss" and make ur way further up to the NTAreal and party till dawn...

Use see stressed out bankers once in a while and don't expect that the S-Bahn is stopping for more than 20 seconds...

So friendly pepole and nice and quet town. Must go paragliding!!
