Car Rentals in Switzerland

Quick guide to Switzerland

Switzerland is one of Europe's most visited countries. Pass through for a day or two and you'll get all the quaint stereotypes – cheese, chocolate and clocks – but not much else. Stay a bit longer and another Switzerland will emerge, which can be an infinitely more rewarding place to explore. Sights are breathtaking, transport links are excellent and costs are no higher than in Britain or Germany. Almost everyone speaks English along with at least one of the official languages (German, French, Italian, and, in the southeast, Romansh).The most visited Alpine area is the central Bernese Oberland, which has the highest concentration of picturesque peaks and mountainside villages. The tallest Alps are further south, where Zermatt provides access to the Toblerone-peaked Matterhorn.
In the southeast, forested mountain slopes surround the chic resort of St Moritz.
Zurich has a wealth of sightseeing and nightlife possibilities and provides easy access to the tiny principality of Liechtenstein on the Rhine.
