How to reach Switzerland from outside countries? Simple it can be reached via Air, Land or Train route. Here are the descriptive details.

By Flight/Airplane - Major international airports are in Zurich, Geneva and Basel, with smaller airports in Lugano and Bern/Berne. Flying into nearby Milan (Italy), Lyon or even Paris (France) or Frankfurt (Germany) are other options though rather expensive and time-consuming (3h Frankfurt-Basel, 4h Milan-Zurich, 5h Paris-Berne) by train. Some discount airlines fly to Friedrichshafen, Germany which is just across Lake Constance (the Bodensee) from Romanshorn, not too far from Zurich.

By Train - Trains arrive from all parts of Europe. Switzerland is together with Germany one of the most central-lying countries in Europe, making it a center of railways and highways to the rest of Europe.

Some major routes include:

1. The TGV, with several trains daily from Paris, Avignon, Dijon, and Nice.
2. Hourly trains to/from Milan with connections to all parts of Italy
3. Hourly ICE (German high-speed trains) from Zurich to Karlsruhe, Mannheim, Frankfurt in Germany, many continuing toward Amsterdam, Hamburg or Berlin.
4. Regular ICE trains from Zurich to Stuttgart and Munich
5. Night trains from Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Hamburg, Prague, Vienna, Belgrade, Barcelona Rome and Venice to Basel, Geneva, Zurich and some also to Lausanne. These trains are either "EuroNight" (symbol: EN) or CityNightLine (symbol: CNL) services.

By Bus

1. Eurolines has incorporated Switzerland in its route network.
2. Due to the Bosnian war in the 1990'ies there are several bus companies serving the Bosnian diaspora, which provide a cheap and clean way of getting to the Balkans. Turistik Prošić runs from various destinations in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina to Switzerland.

By car - Common tourist destinations within Switzerland are easily reachable by car, e.g. Geneva from central eastern France, and Zurich from southern Germany. Although Switzerland is now part of the Schengen agreement, it is not part of the EU customs/tariff union. Therefore EU/Swiss border posts will  have checks on main roads. Swiss motorway vignettes can and should be purchased at the border if your car does not already have a valid one for the year and you intend to use the Swiss motorways which is almost unavoidable. Keep in mind when choosing means of transport that most cities do not have free parking.

      Alas, our destination that day while changing planes in Amsterdam was not kayaking in Washington, a cruise ship sailing to Cancun, or any other exotic vacation spot. Instead, we were traveling “home” to spend time with family during the recent winter holidays in the cold and gray Mid-Atlantic States. Like a piece of bittersweet chocolate, the trip was intense and rich at the same time. pick up service Barcelona

      Finally, with a quality cab service, you know that you'll be getting an experienced, safe driver who will take you directly to your destination. Then, when you need to leave and head back for your returning flight or to another destination, you can rely on the same convenient service. Airport taxi services offer convenience, security, safety, and peace of mind that you can't get with other modes of transportation. best travel agency in bhubaneswar

      What this means is pristine physical condition and low mileage. If the car returns in anything other than perfect condition, vehicle service contracts the lessee will have to pay in the form of stiff mileage and wear and tear penalties. Lease a car back to back and you loose big time because you are always bearing the cost of someone else's depreciation.

      I've been surfing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
