Switzerland had always been high on my bucket list—the Alps, chocolate, cheese, and picture-perfect lakes. This year, I finally got to experience it, and the best part? I went with my best friend. What could have been a stressful trip full of planning turned into a smooth, unforgettable adventure, thanks to using a travel app that guided us every step of the way.
Planning Our Switzerland Itinerary with Ease
Instead of spending weeks comparing hotels, train passes, and “top 10 things to do in Switzerland” lists, the app created a customized itinerary for us. From Zurich to Interlaken to Zermatt, it recommended the best routes, must-visit attractions, and even local food spots. Everything—from booking train tickets to finding hidden cafes—was available in one place, which saved us so much time.
Zurich: Coffee Shops & Hidden Gems
Our first stop was Zurich. Most people head straight to Bahnhofstrasse, but the app suggested a few cozy, tucked-away coffee shops in the old town. It felt like discovering a secret side of the city. We also followed its walking route to Lake Zurich, where we caught the sunset—something I wouldn’t have thought to time so perfectly without the app’s suggestions.
Interlaken: Adventure in the Alps
Next, we headed to Interlaken, Switzerland’s adventure capital. The app recommended activities based on the weather, so when rain rolled in, instead of canceling our plans, we found ourselves at a Swiss chocolate-making workshop (which turned out to be a delicious decision!). By the next morning, we were hiking scenic trails with the Alps as our backdrop.
Zermatt & The Glacier Express
The highlight of the trip was Zermatt. The travel app not only booked our Glacier Express tickets but also pointed out the most scenic stops along the way. Sitting across from my best friend, watching the snow-covered Alps and charming villages pass by, felt surreal. And of course, seeing the Matterhorn up close was a bucket-list moment we’ll never forget.
Why This Trip Was So Special
Traveling with your best friend already makes everything more fun—you laugh at wrong turns, share food, and create memories that last forever. But what made this trip different was how effortless it felt. Instead of stressing about logistics, we got to actually enjoy Switzerland—whether it was sipping hot chocolate by Lake Lucerne, exploring hidden alleys in Zurich, or watching the sunrise over snowy peaks.
Final Thoughts
If Switzerland is on your bucket list (and it should be!), I can’t recommend using a travel app enough. It took away the stress of planning and turned our trip into one seamless adventure. Switzerland gave us breathtaking landscapes, unforgettable moments, and endless laughter—and the app made sure we didn’t miss a thing.
✨ Next stop? Who knows. But one thing’s for sure: I’ll always bring my best friend—and my travel app—along for the ride.
