Lausanne:

If you’re a partying couple, Lausanne definitely deserves a spot on your Switzerland honeymoon package.

Get adventurous in Interlaken:

Along the way, stop by the village of Schaffhausen, where you can check out some truly gorgeous medieval era monuments, including a castle.

Go sightseeing in beautiful Bern:

Sightseeing tours are a popular activity on Switzerland honeymoons, for the country is abundantly rich with heritage and natural sites that regularly feature on travel bucket-lists. Bern is one of the best cities to do so, where you can walk hand-in-hand across cobble stone streets, medieval era architecture, and a supremely well-maintained historic old town that traces all the way back to the 12th Century.

Explore the Swiss Alps:

One of the main highlights of any Switzerland honeymoon package is visiting the Alpine landscapes, villages and resort towns. Many cities are situated by the foothills so you can easily make day trips, if not overnight stays. Some of the popular tours are to Jungfraujoch and to Mount Titlis from Zurich by cable car. You can also include a visit to Lucerne as part of the excursion. The Matterhorn is another one to tick off your list, if you get the chance. The best part about the Alps is that you can visit them and simply relax, soak in the views and leisurely connect with each other. Or you can take on all the spectacular adrenaline pumping activities they provide.

Watch a sunset at Lake Geneva:

Switzerland is known for its many glacial lakes, and Lake Geneva is one of the most popular to visit. It is the heart and soul of the city and home to the iconic Jet d’Eau fountain. Here you can take a Segway tour, bike tour, stroll around by yourselves, sit by the waterfront and catch a beautiful sunset too. Isn’t that just picture-perfect romance? The Switzerland honeymoon of your dreams, brought to life.

Attend a local festival:

It is quite likely that the dates of your booked Switzerland honeymoon package coincide with a few events or festivals held across the country. And they are some of the best in the world! From cultural dos to grand music festivals, spring carnivals to food and wine festivals — take your pick and make new memories together.

Shop for each other:

Switzerland is a top shopping destination with luxury goods aplenty. And what better time to dote on each other and buy each other gifts and goodies, from top quality watches to runway ready clothes, sumptuous chocolates to lip-smacking wines — go all out for your special someone in true Swiss style.

Things to carry for a Switzerland honeymoon

You don’t want to be on your Switzerland honeymoon and then realise you’ve forgotten to carry something necessary or important. Here’s a guide on what to pack and take along, that we’ve compiled especially for this holiday destination.

Suitcase:

Feel free to carry your preferred size and make of suitcases, as all transfers and transport will be taken care of when you book an SOTC Switzerland honeymoon package.

Flight Essentials & Electronics:

It will be a long flight to Switzerland so it is best to carry a neck-pillow, travel blanket or shawl and an eye-mask or earplugs if you so need. Take a book along for some in-flight reading. For the flight and the rest of your journey, carry your favourite electronics like cameras, tablets, laptops and all their cables. Don’t forget to take a universal adapter too.

Clothing:

The most important item of clothing you’ll need is a jacket — whether it’s a summer Switzerland honeymoon you’re on, or a winter one. Other than that, pack comfortable shirts, sweaters and pants or denims. A few formal pairs will come handy too, for the special occasions you have planned for each other. Do take some pairs of clothes that let you be outdoorsy, and swimwear if you’re visiting in the warmer months.

Shoes & Accessories:

You’ll need good walking shoes for your Switzerland honeymoon, whether regular sneakers or specialised hiking boots — whatever you prefer. Also have a pair of slippers for indoor comfort and a formal pair if you so wish. Sunglasses, umbrellas, shawls or stoles and hats or caps are the main accessories you’ll need.

Toiletries & Medication:

Carry your usual toiletry kit with all your preferred personal care items. Make sure you have sunscreen in there, as your skin can seriously burn at high altitudes. Aside from any prescription medicines you’ll have to carry, do pack a strip of altitude sickness medication as precaution.
