12 day trip – Geneva, Grindelwald, Luzern, Zurich
-
Hi Team,
So I am (finally) getting to Switzerland. I have wanted to visit for a very long time. Your country looks stunning.
I am a 28yr old solo female traveller from Australia and just wanting some opinions on my below itinerary. I am very open to advice. Arrive Sept 21st, depart Oct 2nd 2018. Any day tours would be appreciated, but happy to just do my own thing too.
To help you out with your advice, I enjoy being outdoors. I enjoy walks, adrenaline activities, sight seeing, and anything quirky. Plan on doing a few hikes in Grindleward.
I am doing some other parts of Europe before flying from Netherlands to Geneva. I then plan to make my way through your country, finishing in Zurich, before flying home to Australia. Well, that is my current plan. I will be doing my travel via train and will post in the train section as well.
