Wellness
In Switzerland, you might find yourself landing in
hot water – quite literally. e country has a long spa
tradition that dates back to several centuries. Today,
it is home to numerous thermal resorts, where you
can immerse yourself in mineral-rich waters lauded
for their curative properties. From the hot springs of
Baden to the pampering hammams in Zurich, you'll
find plenty of places to relax and unwind after a long
day of sightseeing.
Infrastructure
With a comprehensive public transport network
spanning over 29,000km, getting around in
Switzerland is a breeze. Rail is the quickest and
most convenient mode of transport, especially
between major cities; major train routes, such as
the Glacier Express from Zermatt to St. Moritz,
also offer some exceptionally spectacular views.
Alternatively, you can explore the country's
scenic waterways on a passenger ferry. Cyclists
are catered for as well: biking routes and trails
are plentiful, be it within city centers or up in
the Alps. Here, the journey matters just as much
as the destination.
Hospitality
Ultimately, it's the little interactions with the locals –
the chatty barista, the friendly waiter, the thoughtful
concierge – that will set the tone for your holiday.
Switzerland is known for its world-class hospitality
and has been taking outstanding care of its visitors for
the last two centuries. Service staff across the country
are trained to the highest standards, and they are
often well-versed in various languages and cultures.

Lugano, you're sure to find a friendly face and a
helping hand.
