Nestled along the banks of the Limmat River and the shores of Lake Zurich, the city offers picturesque views and countless opportunities for outdoor activities.
Key highlights include the Old Town (Altstadt), a maze of cobblestone streets lined with medieval buildings, trendy cafes, and boutique shops. Landmarks such as the Grossmünster and Fraumünster churches showcase Zurich's rich history and artistic heritage. For art lovers, the Kunsthaus Zurich is a must-visit, housing an impressive collection of European masterpieces.

Zurich is also a hub for nightlife, with vibrant bars, clubs, and cultural venues like the Opera House. Its central location makes it an ideal starting point for exploring Switzerland's breathtaking landscapes.
Groupon's Guide To Chur
From Chur, an Alpine city in eastern Switzerland, the Bernina Express train crosses the Alps into Italy. Winding streets in the car-free old town lead to the 13th-century, three-naved Cathedral of the Assumption. Visitors can experience the Brambrüesch aerial cableway which ascends to a plateau with trails, panoramic views, and winter ski slopes.
Groupon's Guide To Brig
Brig, Switzerland is a charming town nestled in the heart of the Swiss Alps, renowned for its stunning mountain views, rich history, and proximity to major attractions. It serves as a gateway to some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Europe. The town is home to the Stockalper Palace, a magnificent Baroque-style castle built in the 17th century, which is a must-visit for history enthusiasts. Nature lovers can explore the nearby Simplon Pass, offering incredible hiking opportunities and panoramic alpine views. Brig is also an ideal base for excursions to the Aletsch Glacier, the largest glacier in the Alps and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Groupon's Guide To Venice
The capital of the Veneto region, listed as a World Heritage Site, Venice is set on a group of 118 small islands separated by a labyrinth of canals and linked by century-old bridges. Colonnaded squares, domes, and arches can be seen while on a sleek motorboat or during a gondola ride that will carry visitors through the city's main waterways.
Tourists shouldn't miss out on the opportunity to visit the Doge’s Palace, a symbol of the republic’s wealth and mastery over land and sea. On the eastern end of St. Mark’s Square, the world-renowned Byzantine basilica has become a landmark of the city with its four bulbous domes and golden mosaics. Throughout the cobbled streets, there are countless shops where travelers can pick out unique handmade masks painted according to the 800-year-old Venetian tradition. Venice has a humid subtropical climate characterized by warm summers and cold winters. The sky is clear, with a moderate level of sunshine that invites holidaymakers to visit the city during autumn, while winter months bring an average high temperature of 6°C and three hours of sunshine per day.
