Nestled in the heart of Europe, many visitors arrive by car or train. Those flying in typically land in Zurich or Geneva. While these are the main hubs, smaller airports serving private jets are plentiful and convenient for reaching more remote Alpine hideaways. Trains are modern, fast and comfortable for moving around within Switzerland. The Glacier Express is particularly scenic. Private car rentals are good for travelling on your own terms. Boat transport across the Swiss lakes comes with incredibly picturesque views.
