The Fairytale Swiss City That's Quietly Outdoing Paris












Paris? Overexposed. Capri? Cliché. Lucerne, Switzerland? Quietly minding its business — and doing it better. Around 45 minutes from Zurich by train, this underrated gem has everything you want in a Swiss escape: snowcapped mountains, shimmering lake views, and a medieval old town that looks suspiciously like a movie set.

Check into Hotel Château Gütsch (a literal castle), then get your culture fix at the Rosengart Collection (home to over 300 works by the likes of Picasso and Paul Klee). Or step inside the epic, 360-degree Bourbaki Panorama for a crash course in Swiss history. And, of course, we wouldn’t be doing our jobs if we didn’t mention all. the. chocolate. Suddenly, that return ticket feels optional.
