5.0 out of 5 stars as efficient as the Swiss railways..., 8 Aug 2007

By	purplegenius (Lincs, UK) - See all my reviews

I know the guide-book-buying public are often split into those who like Rough Guides and those who like Lonely Planet, and ne'er the twain shall meet, so I may be preaching to the converted, but never mind...
This is, of course, another excellent example of a Rough Guide - detailed, well-researched & useful, with lovely photos to whet your appetite, but also full of those interesting little snippets that make you interested in a country or town. For instance, who knew that we Brits consume a measly 9kg of chocolate each per year, whereas the Swiss munch through over 11kg? (but is this surprising, given the quality of their chocolate?? 11kg sounds quite low...!) Or that in Valais, the much-less-violent-than-it-sounds cow fight is still extremely popular? I love dipping into books like this, as well as using them for more practical purposes. I lived in Switzerland for a year and feel pretty confident that I know my way around the transport system and know a fair amount about all the famous sights, but on a recent trip, this book was still invaluable to me, as shown by the sun tan lotion-ed fingerprints on the well-thumbed pages & all the leaflets and timetables bookmarking different sections for quick access, from the caf�s of Lausanne, the turrets of the Ch�teau de Chillon and the paddle steamers of Lake Geneva to the Sherlock Holmes museum in Meiringen, hiking in the Hasliberg and taking the train through the Eiger to the Jungfraujoch. I love Switzerland, and I think the author must have quite a soft spot for it too, as he doesn't fall into the usual stereotypes of the Swiss being just a bit too tidy and neat and efficient, and therefore boring, for their own good. He makes it sound like a fun place to be. And how right he is...

My only (slightly biased) gripe is that if Lausanne really is "simply Switzerland's sexiest city",(which it is ;-D) then why did they choose a random photo of any old building to illustrate it in the Things Not to Miss section?! Not enough to knock a star off though. If you want to find your way round Switzerland and learn some pretty interesting stuff in the process, then look no further than this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for forst time travellers, 28 Aug 2008

By	J. Sharp (England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this guide as a last minute thought before heading to Zurich for the first time. And I'm very glad I did as the book was so helpful...it definately pointed out all the best places to visit whilst within the city. As it was from 2006 I was worried that the prices would be totaly wrong but I was pleasantly surprised as they were only out by 1 or 2 francs. I would recommend this book to anyone travelling to Switzerland particularly if, like my friend and I, they were a first time traveller

5.0 out of 5 stars Great country, outstanding guide..., 19 Aug 2009

By	C. Cottingham - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Of all the Rough Guides so far used, this one has been my favourite: exceptionally well-researched and erudite in its discussion, yet leavened by a pervading wit that makes this an entertaining read as well as a deeply informative one.
