Switzerland is such a beautiful place where everyone finds it hard to cover most of the places this beautiful country has to offer. As a tourist there is always limited time in hand where one can explore limited places. While I was on my first trip toSwitzerland I realized there is so much more to see than the itinerary I have planned. I wish I had known the places well in advance which are not very popular but most scenic. To save time make sure to go through the train time table and routes if you are going to cover all  of Switzerland by train.

I got to know these small and beautiful places while doing my train journeys from one place to another. The problem was that every single town I found seemed like it could qualify as one of the best towns in Switzerland, and it made me want to extend our one week trip for a month so we could see them all.

There are simply too many of the best small towns in Switzerland to see on one trip, but for sure one cannot cover them all in a limited time. Plan to make an Itinerary that helps to to explore the best of Switzerland. So here’s my Swiss guide to make the most out of your trip. I strongly recommend a Swiss rail pass if you are planning a trip to Switzerland. Here are the best small towns in Switzerland you should visit. All these towns can be covered by trains. For Train travel tips you can read my blog on 10 Facts about Swiss train travel.
