CHRISTMAS IN ZURICH
That Zürich, the capital of the canton of the same name, is one of the cities with the best quality of life in the world is not just an opinion shared by its visitors. It is also an official recognition by the Mercer Research Institute, which considers all the main criteria that make a city a pleasant place to live: cleanliness, safety, transport, health, education, and environmental protection...
 
In winter, don't miss the sleigh rides from the top of the Uetliberg, snowshoe hikes on the snow-covered slopes of the Zürichberg and the atmosphere of the old town, the art museums, and a very un-Swiss nightlife, which chases itself from the river banks to the now very trendy former industrial area of Zürich West.
CHRISTMAS IN BERN
The City of the Bear', by Albert Einstein and Paul Klee, is a fascinating museum dedicated to these two 20th-century greats. Still, the animal is said to have even given the city its name, and today, its image can be seen almost everywhere around the city. A bear ('bär' in German, 'bärn' in the local dialect) is said to be linked to the foundation (1191) of Berne since the first settlement was built, according to legend, on the same spot where Duke Berchtold V von Zähringen killed the animal.

The Aare river hugs the historic center (a Unesco World Heritage Site) in a large loop, where you will find picturesque medieval-looking corners, ancient towers, and endless arcades called 'röhren,' i.e., tubes, which are even more spectacular when they are festively lit.
CHRISTMAS IN BASEL
First-class museums and contemporary buildings that rival in beauty the city's imposing monuments of the past, such as the cathedral, which dominates with its lofty Gothic towers, Romanesque forms, and setting red sandstone mass. Just as red is the color of the surfaces and frescoed decorations of the town hall, overlooking Marktplatz, the market square, behind which is a tangle of alleyways where you can find cozy atmospheres, picturesque views, and charming little shops.
 In the foyer of the Theater Basel, a new window of the popular Advent calendar opens daily with a contribution to the stage. The Spielzeug Welten Museum Basel, the Museum der Kulturen Basel, and the Historisches Museum Basel - Haus zum Kirschgarten present exhibitions in keeping with the season, while the program at the Basler Marionetten Theater once again includes special Christmas performances for adults and children.
CHRISTMAS IN MONTREUX
It has earned the nickname 'the queen of the Swiss Riviera', thanks to its scenic location at the eastern end of Lake Geneva, the mildness of its climate, remarkable palaces and buildings, with several art deco buildings, and the events that make it one of the country's liveliest resorts.
 A favourite destination of Empress Sissi, who came here to recuperate from her Viennese worldly exertions, Montreux is visited for its impressive Chillon Castle. The lakeside promenade is romantic, framed by elegant residences and hotels, with a magnificent panorama of the Savoy Alps and the château.
CHRISTMAS IN LAUSANNE
Urban and seaside, between lake, mountains, vineyards and forests, Lausanne seduces with its calm and relaxed lifestyle.  Voted best small town in the world, it offers all the characteristics of a metropolis, but on a human scale: unique museums such as Plateforme 10, Lausanne's new arts district or the Collection de l'Art Brut, the Olympic Museum.
 
Lausanne is also set in a breathtaking natural backdrop with Lake Geneva, the Alps and the Jura in the background and the terraced Lavaux vineyards, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

CHRISTMAS IN GENEVA
Geneva is the most international city in Switzerland. It is the European headquarters of the UN, and it is here that the Red Cross directs its actions. The town of Lake Geneva is also the cradle of watchmaking and the home of many chocolate manufacturers. It also offers many attractions such as the Jet d'eau, the Horloge Fleuri, the old town with the St. Pierre Cathedral, and the Place du Bourg-de-Four.
 The 145-meter iridescent geyser jet signals the proximity of the port of Geneva, where the steamboats of the lake and Rhone trips dock. Numerous parks and gardens line the shores, elected for atmospheric and romantic walks once you leave the maze of illuminated streets in the old town.
