HI,
We are planning book an vacation rental in interlaken. we choosed the apartment from the below site
interlaken.ch/en/region-reso...
This is the first time we are booknig from the owner directly instead of using regular booking sites like booking.com.
These vacation rentals are not found in regular booking sites. We not sure if this is a common practice in swizterland.
Is it safe to transfer the money directly to owners account ?

Thanks in advance

If i book my luggage on 13th aug. 2013 at interlaken ost station can i get it at zurich airport station at 11 am next morning?

My family and I (two adults and one 5-year old child) are planning a long weekend in the summer in Switzerland. We will be flying into Geneva, spending one night in Bern, and then two nights in Murren in the Bernese Oberland, before departing from Geneva again. I can't figure out the cheapest rail options for this itinerary (Geneva Airport-Bern-Murren return) - there seems to be a plethora of rather confusing half-fare travelcards and inter-regional travelcards! Can anyone help? Thank you.

Is there a limit on leaving luggage at a station in Interlaken. I would like to leave for about 4 days. Is this ok or is there a better option?

Is there a way to buy a souvenir from Rhinefalls? We've been there but I forgot to buy a souvenir. I have a collection of 2 to 5 inches standing statues of the places we've been through. Check ebay/amazon already. Thank you so much.

I wish to visit Rhine Falls from Zurich. Which is the best route. How much time it takes to visit and come back to Zurich. Will also like to have boat ride at Rhine falls.

Are all the major credit cards accepted in Kandersteg? Visa, MasterCard, etc.....

I plan to go for 2 nights and wonder which /where to stay the best. I plan to go to top of Europe. i travel from paris to lauterbrunnen.

Need your advise. thanks.

My travel will be on 5th and check out 7th or day after. really appreciate your help.

I with my wife and 2 kids have planned trip from London to Basel, switzerland in August. We then wanted to rent a car and follow the below itinerary
Day 1 - enter a small German town to visit then proceed to Zurich to have night stay
Day 2,3 - night stays at Lauterbrunnen and visit core places
Day 4 - stay at monteaux before proceeding to Geneva to board the flight back

My queries are:
a) Are there are any precautions required for the road travel in Switzerland and Germany
b) I see speed limit at many places like 60 kms in 1 hour travel from google maps. Is the road travel slow because of hilly roads or small towns with restricted speed limits
c) We have already booked entering into Basel and exiting from Geneva, how does this itinerary sounds and any suggestions within them
d) We still will be using public transport to places like jungfrau, so please suggest places that we can go using public transport rather than in car wherever it will be tedious
e) How about the availability of gas stations, rest areas and pharmacies/medical facilities (for emergencies)

I will come up with more questions as we near our travel.

Should we bring the winter jacket to lauterbrunnen? We are planning to stay there for 2 night in sept, 5. N what to go to top of europe. Appreciate you guys opinion

Thanks in advance

Hi guys,

I'll be spending about 24 hours in Zurich prior to my return flight at night (late Oct) and am hoping to visit the following places. Appreciate your advise on the jam packed itinerary. I will be arriving in Zurich by train around 5pm and will be staying at the Youth Hostel. My flight on the following night is at 10pm.

I'm hoping to visit the following attractions:
- Old Town (Altstadt)
- Church of Our Lady (Fraumunster)
- Great Church (Grossmunster)
- Lindenhofplatz
- Uetliberg
- Lake Zurich

I initially planned to leave my luggage at Zurich HB train station prior to exploring. Just wondering how close these places are and if I'm able to be back by 6pm to the train station to make my way to the airport.

Thanks guys!
