✨ Honestly rating the places I visited in Switze ✨ Honestly rating the places I visited in Switzerland as a female traveller. ✨

I spent a week exploring Switzerland — from the well-known highlights to a few hidden gems that completely surprised me. 🇨🇭 There were definitely some places I wish I’d lingered in longer (and a few I can’t wait to revisit one day).

If I could redo this trip, here are a few things I’d keep in mind:

🚊 Get the Swiss Travel Pass — it made getting around by public transport so seamless and worth it. (Booking link in my bio!)

🏔️ Book experiences ahead of time, especially for early-morning slots like paragliding or popular scenic trains.

🌤️ Check live cameras and forecasts before outdoor adventures — it makes all the difference when the weather shifts quickly.

💭 What do you think of these ratings? Are there any places in Switzerland you’d add to the list?

📍 All locations in Switzerland featured are tagged in the carousel.

📷 Photos edited with my Fujifilm-inspired presets (linked in bio).
