Chocolate and cheese

A resource guide for travel to Switzerland. I discovered that there are lots of guides available through a website I've just discovered called "Tours by Locals". It has information on private guides all over the world, not just Switzerland, including reviews by users.

Here are some Rick Steves videos on Switzerland (and Liechtenstein):
Switzerland's Greatest Cities
Switzerland's Jungfrau Region
Switzerland Travel Skills with Rick Steves
Little Europe: Liechtenstein

And here is a good overview of Liechtenstein:
Liechtenstein Travel Guide

For more information on interesting rail travel excursions in Switzerland see my Rails site.


If using your own phone in Switzerland (and it is unlocked), a Swisscom or Orange SIM card can be purchased at major airports. The Swisscom SIM card is good primarily for Switzerland because it is quite expensive to use in the rest of Europe. Orange sells a SIM that can be used anywhere in Europe and costs about $50 for a 14 days but can be topped up online. It can be purchased online and received by mail prior to your trip. Also available on Amazon.ca and Walmart.ca. Register and topup the card here. For eSIM plans with data only, Airalo is an inexpensive alternative.
