Switzerland is one of those rare places that looks exactly like the postcards — maybe even better. From snow-covered peaks to crystal-clear lakes, peaceful villages, and vibrant cities, this small country packs a huge visual punch.The Swiss Alps are simply breathtaking. Whether you're standing in front of the iconic Matterhorn, riding the panoramic Bernina Express through snowy valleys, or hiking in Lauterbrunnen surrounded by waterfalls, it’s hard to believe it’s real. Lakes like Geneva, Lucerne, and Brienz are so clear they reflect the sky like a mirror. Everywhere you turn, it’s peace, quiet, and fresh mountain air.

I visited Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen, and Grindelwald in Switzerland in March this year! Switzerland was my first time traveling abroad and traveling alone, so I was very nervous. I think the biggest obstacles when traveling abroad are probably the language, transportation, and security. So I'd like to talk about those three in my own words! First, about the language. In Switzerland, Swiss German and German are mainly used, but I can't speak German, let alone English lol, so I basically used a translator, but it was a breeze! Everyone was generally polite, and when they wanted to communicate something, they spoke slowly and in simple English, which was very helpful! Next, about transportation. In Switzerland, if you buy the "Swiss Travel Pass" in advance, you can ride basic trains and buses as much as you want during your trip! As an exception, mountain trains and ropeways are half price, so it costs a little. However, it's really easy because you don't have to buy tickets every time! Lastly, about security. I don't remember being scared of security in the Bernese Oberland area that I visited! On the contrary, I remember him being very kind, helping me when I didn't know how to get a ticket for the ropeway! There were no homeless people and the city was clean with no graffiti or trash! If you're even slightly interested in going to Switzerland, please go! When you see that magnificent view, all your small worries will be forgotten and you will feel purified. #solotravel #switzerland #wintertravel

Interlaken, Switzerland 🇨🇭 is located between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz 🏞️ The most popular activity here is paragliding 🪂 You can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire Interlaken Surrounded by endless mountains, green meadows and blue lakes Originally I thought I didn’t have the courage to experience this activity But it turns out it’s not exciting at all! The pilot will run with you from behind. After a few steps, you will naturally fly up. It is very comfortable to sit in the sky and watch the beautiful scenery. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced paraglider enthusiast, Interlaken's paragliding activities can meet your needs! As for going to Interlaken, it is very convenient. You can take a train from Zurich, Geneva or Bern. It only takes a few hours to reach Interlaken🚆. I highly recommend everyone to experience the fun of flying! #GlobalTravel

I was able to make my long-cherished dream of traveling to Switzerland come true. After visiting Interlaken, Jungfraujoch, Lauterbrunnen, Schilthorn, etc. from Geneva, I visited Zermatt, the town at the foot of the Matterhorn, Geneva, and St. Moritz on the Glacier Express. I was blessed with good weather, and the natural scenery was simply spectacular and beautiful. Next time I'd like to come in the winter season. #solotravel #0yentravelautumn

#100 Ways to Travel Jungfraujoch is known as the Top of Europe and is 4158m high. How to reach Jungfraujoch? 1. Go to Grindelwald terminal first, buy Jungfrau climbing ticket and then take the cable car to Egg station 2. After arriving at Egg Station, transfer to the Jungfrau Mountain Train to climb the Jungfrau. You will climb up quickly on the way and you may have altitude sickness. Remember to take medicine first👌👌 When you reach Jungfraujoch, your head will really hurt, but it happened to be snowing on the top of the mountain so some viewing platforms were closed. It was really cold outside, about -13 degrees Celsius, but the scenery was like overlooking the whole of Europe and standing above Europe. After the end, we arrived at the second famous point of this trip, the Jungfrau Ice Cave. Everything from the floor to the decorations were made of ice, which was very interesting (⛔️⛔️The floor is very slippery, so you have to hold on tightly, not with ice⛔️⛔️) After finishing your trip to Jungfraujoch, you can go to Egger Station to play in the snow and drink coffee for the whole afternoon, then go to Grindelwald to buy dinner in the evening and take some photos of the night view of Grindelwald on the way back to the hotel. The above are welcome to chat with me 😆 #snow #mountain #travel #Switzerland #Jungfrau #paradise #ice #Europe

🏡Grindelwald is an important relay station for Swiss tourism. The train departing from here 🚞 goes to Jungfraujoch via Kleine Scheidegg 🏔️, making it a must-stop for most tourists. In order to make it easier to climb up in the morning, we stayed near the station. When we opened the window of the B&B, we could see the Eiger coming towards us. No matter how much money we spent, it was worth it❤️ 🏡This place like a fairy tale town is a warm green valley, backed by the Eiger north face and the Wetterhorn. It is full of peace, warmth and tranquility. The afternoon sun shines down, it’s too beautiful to be true, I don’t want to stop with my camera in hand📷 🏡We rode our bicycles for a walk and took pictures. Don’t be too happy when going downhill. On the way back, we ran out of energy and climbed uphill. I was so tired that I cried. Fortunately, we passed by a truck🚚 and gave us a lift. We were so touched❤️ 🏡Switzerland is an eye-catching country. In addition to the beautiful lakes and mountains, there are also various large expanses of grassland. After staying here for two weeks, not only did my lungs become cleaner, my eyesight improved, but my material desires were really reduced. I must come here if I have the chance! #fairytale town

#Grindelwaldtrip, like a picture frame It rained as soon as we arrived, but strangely the sun was so bright that I even saw the first rainbow🌈, so it was like my first love🥹 Grindelwald reminds me of small, round trees like broccoli stuck in the mountains. Grindelwald is like a picture from a fairy tale🏞 This place is so memorable to me, so I have affection for it. 📸 Ratchet photo zone Fussweg, Grindelwald, Switzerland Type this on Google Map and go there! This is a bit of a hill. So no one knows! It's a photo spot that I found out about while going up because it's near our hotel, but there's not a single person☺🫧 Even if there are, there are only hotel guests, so it's a really secret spot..🫶🏾 Just going down the hill here, there are so many people and tourists that there's nowhere to take pictures, and it's hard to capture Grindelwald at a glance like this😎 The timing was good, so they had a festival in the evening! Everyone was standing and watching, but I looked down from the hotel balcony while eating dinner! I'll tell you the hotel information too🤍 📍BERGWELT GRINDELWALD | ALPINE DESIGN RESORT, Bergwelt 4, 3818 Grindelwald, Switzerland #Swisstravel #Swisssnap #SwissGrindelwald #Grindelwaldhotel #Grindelwaldrestaurant #grindelwald #switzerland🇨🇭 #swisstravel

#EuropeanTravel First, a different charm from Jungfrau😎 It's an activity paradise where you can see lush green grass and magnificent snow-capped mountains together😁 The most important thing is that you can see cows grazing on grass🐂...?🤣 Sometimes cows come close to ask for apples😮 No matter where you go, the scenery is beautiful, and wherever you sit, it's a picturesque place!! There are also activities like ziplines and gliders, but I couldn't ride them because I'm a coward...🥹😂 If you want to relax and heal while looking at the scenery, go to First!! 📍First M363+6C Grindelwald Switzerland

🇨🇭Iseltwald is a village and municipality on the southern shore of Lake Brienz in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland. This place became well-known to many Asians due to the K-drama craze of Crash Landing on you. In Episode 3, Captain Ri was playing piano on the wooden platform on the picturesque Lake Brienz. 📍 Address: Strandhotel, Am Strand 77, 3807 IseltwaldHow To Get There: You have two options to get here: Take a ship to Harbor Iseltwald (See) or Take the SBB/CFF to Interlaken Ost Station then hop on bus no. 103 to Iseltwald, Dorfplatz 📝 If you are not into Kdrama, it is still worth to come here to enjoy the calm and solitude this place provides. #celebratewithtrip #tripblazers

Switzerland is filled with many breathtaking views of mountains, waterfall, what about lakes? There js a lake located at the north of the alps called Lake brienz where this is a picture worthy instagrammable spot fo many where the backdrop are the mountainous region where the Lake will have the reflection of those mountains. The lake offers a good clear swim(provided if u dare because of the cold even in the fall seasons), and also there are some water spot activities here like kayaking even. But what is amazing is the lush beauty of it, the mirror like reflection of the lake and the unforgettable views. What's best is actually enjoying a beer while absorb the pure beauty that Switzerland has to offer. #fallingforfall #switzerland #lake #lakebrienz #spectacular #scenic #breathtaking #europe

#OverseasTravel #Switzerland Travel Interlaken is one of the most popular places to stay in Switzerland 🇨🇭 because of its convenient location to several nearby snow-capped mountains 🏔️, we also stayed there for one night, taking the opportunity to slowly rest and sightsee! ✨ Interlaken city center is quite bustling, one side is lined with famous shops 🛍, but the other side is the garden 🌳 that retains the natural side and the view of the snow-capped mountains 🏔️ of the Alps, quite special! And walking around looking at the beautiful scenery is happier 🥰 The garden is also planted with many flowers🌺, the flowers of different varieties, colors🎨 are well designed and maintained, and there is a fountain to add color to the whole town! 📍Interlaken (Interlaken), Switzerland

#OverseasTravel #Switzerland Travel Because we bought the Jungfrau travel card, we can take a free 🆓 boat trip to the Interlaken lakes, so it was the right time to come on a boat 🚢 river! We chose to tour Brienzersee, the boat trip is a circular route, so you can get off the boat at any time when you see beautiful places, which is very convenient! The boat itself is very beautiful, very Swiss ethnic style, and the Swiss flag sails out to sea 🌊! Since the boat is large, and the lake waves are as flat as a mirror 🪞, so the boat trip is very stable and comfortable, blowing the sea breeze, leisurely so the first half of the day is very relaxing! Plus, the scenery along the way is beautiful, seeing a lot of Swiss 🌳 towns, it’s really a very different scenery from the city! Like a paradise🌸 📍Lake Brienzersee, Interlaken, Switzerland

If you've ever been in love with the scene where "Captain Ri" plays the piano by the lake in the series Crash Landing on You, you must know Iseltwald, a quiet village that has become a dream destination for many fans of the series. 🏞️ Lakeside village atmosphere Iseltwald is a small village located on the southeastern side of Lake Brienz (Brienzersee), surrounded by mountains and clear blue water that you can't believe it's real. It's quiet, not crowded, suitable for walking, relaxing, or finding beautiful photo angles without having to edit filters. 🎥 Follow the series Crash Landing on You One of the most popular spots is the wooden pier where Captain Ri plays the piano when Yoon Se-ri disappeared and he kept missing her — currently, there is a small sign at that spot saying that it is a location from the series, and sometimes tourists line up to take pictures of the same atmosphere. 📸 Must-see photo spots • Piano Pier (a spot to follow the series) • View from the lakeside where you can see Seeburg Castle (on a peninsula jutting into the lake) • Lakeside promenade Morning or before sunset is the best time to see the beautiful light. 🚍 Travel • From Interlaken, take bus number 103 and get off at Iseltwald, Dorfplatz stop, it takes about 25 minutes. • Or you can take a boat from Interlaken to Iseltwald Pier, you can see the lake view, it's so romantic. 🚢 🍽️ Cafes and restaurants There are not many restaurants in the village, but you can find small cafes open by the lake, such as Seegarten Café, where you can sit and drink coffee with a view of the mountains and the lake, it's so good. 🧡 🧳 Things to know before traveling • This place is quiet and quite simple, there is no shopping area. • You should prepare your own water, snacks or necessities, especially if you come during the off-season. • If you want to take pictures of the spots without people, it is recommended to come early in the morning. #Get a discount without relying on luck #Travel #Switzerland

This is a town where you can transfer before going up to Schilthorn. Did you know that there is a log memorial spot in this town? If you sit here and take a picture, it will come out very well. Before going to Schilthorn, be sure to stop by here and take a picture. From Schilthorn, you can see the three major peaks of Switzerland very well. In particular, you can directly see Jungfrau from the opposite side. The movie 007 was also filmed here, so you can find traces of it. If the weather is good, the scenery from Schilthorn is amazing. When you come back down to Murren, enjoy the village scenery. In winter, you can rent a sled, which is very fun and thrilling. I strongly recommend that you try it at least once. Each village in Switzerland has its own unique charm. I hope you visit each village and fall in love with the charm of Switzerland.

Traveling through Europe is like walking through a living museum — and sometimes, the most striking stories are cast in bronze and stone. These statues weren’t just stops on my map — they were silent storytellers of cities, revolutions, and legends. 🇫🇷 Place Gutenberg, Strasbourg – Johannes Gutenberg Here stands the father of the printing revolution — Johannes Gutenberg, who gave humanity the printing press. This statue captures him holding a printed page with the words “Et la lumière fut” (And there was light). In this square that once hosted book fairs, his presence still radiates knowledge and change. You feel history pressing into the cobblestones. 🇫🇷 Place Kléber, Strasbourg – Jean-Baptiste Kléber In the heart of Strasbourg, I stood beneath the towering statue of General Jean-Baptiste Kléber, the city’s revolutionary hero. Born here in 1753, he became a brilliant military strategist during the French Revolution. The statue dominates the square, reminding everyone of Strasbourg’s proud historical backbone — and how ideals of liberty once marched through these very streets. 🇨🇭 Montreux, Switzerland – Freddie Mercury Statue By Lake Geneva’s edge, facing the water like he’s ready to sing into the sunset, stands Freddie Mercury. This is more than a statue — it’s a shrine. Flowers at his feet, Queen lyrics in the air, and fans quietly pausing to feel the magic. Montreux was his creative escape — and standing there, it became mine too. 🇫🇷 Colmar, France – Statue of Liberty Yes — Colmar! This town was the birthplace of Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor of the original Statue of Liberty. This 12-meter replica, standing by a traffic circle as you enter the city, might surprise visitors — but it makes perfect sense here. It’s a tribute to liberty born not just in New York, but in Alsace.

When snow blankets Lauterbrunnen, the valley transforms into a serene, magical world—like stepping into a snow globe. The white powder softens the landscape, icing the rooftops, trees, and cliffs, while waterfalls freeze into icy sculptures. What Makes Snowy Lauterbrunnen So Special: • Snow-covered Alps: Towering peaks like the Jungfrau, Mönch, and Eiger shimmer under sunlight, their rugged faces softened by snow. • Frozen Waterfalls: Staubbach Falls sometimes partially freezes, creating an ethereal veil of ice. Trümmelbach Falls, partially underground, roars beneath the snow-covered cliffs. • Charming Winter Village: Wooden chalets with icicle-lined roofs, lantern-lit streets, and smoke curling from chimneys create an idyllic winter scene. • Winter Activities: • Skiing/Snowboarding in nearby Wengen or Mürren. • Snowshoeing & Winter Hiking through quiet, forested trails. • Sledding down alpine paths with postcard-worthy views. • Train ride to Jungfraujoch—travel through a snowy dreamscape to reach Europe’s highest train station. • Peace and Quiet: With fewer tourists in deep winter, the snow adds a hushed tranquility to Lauterbrunnen that’s truly soul-soothing.
