I was 20 yrs old when I was in student in Zuerich. I spent 2.5 wonderful years. To be honest, I didn't appreciate the beauty of the country as much as I should as I was kind of a city boy. Decades later, if given a choice to live in any country I want...there is no other country I would rather live in. I actually can't bear to watch much of this video as it brings back too many fond memories...and I will start to miss Switzerland too much.
I've been to Switzerland a few times, mostly in the German east part of the country. One of the most beautiful countries I've been to and I've been thru much of the world. A wonderful cultured country.
@Druhrfe Hadishia America is very plain and mechanical. That's what I think pretty much. There are some great things here, but it's nothing compared to Europe. Like you said it's not even 300 years old yet and Europe is thousands of years old; no comparison.
"In this city you may brush elbows with high power legislators but you wouldn't know.Everything feels casual for national capital..." Wish every country's legislators did this. Sir your way of presenting Europe and cinematography is truly pleasing.
Rick has a way of making places look 10 times more exciting than they really are! I live in Switzerland and although it’s a charming country with beautiful small towns and nature, some of these scenes in the video are more enjoyable than real life! ❤️
Well, Zurich for instance is at least ten times less excitingly portrayed than it is in real time. I‘ve been living here for 70 years and I can assure that there‘s a lot more to enjoy and to discover, may it be in the arts (from contemporary to traditional), the night life (from Langstrasse to Zurich West), the nature (hiking, biking, swimming in the lake and Limmat) and the education (from ZHdK to University to ETH).
Switzerland is beautiful. I went to Lucerne many years ago and never forgot it. I would love to return and spend more time there in all the cities. Simply charming.
One city that was not covered in the video is Geneva. I visited Switzerland in May, 2023 and was in awe of this gorgeous city located on the lake with the Alps showing in the background. As a headquarters for many international institutions, the modern architecture of their offices is amazing. The designs are often very innovative and there is use of beautifully colored building materials like glass and granite. The city has a lively street scene and is full of historic buildings and museums to visit. Everything in Geneva runs like a perfect Swiss watch. I think Geneva is one of the most beautiful and interesting cities I have ever visited. Geneva is not to be missed.
I was so glad that my younger sis & I were there in year 2013 for our good memories ... Two thumbs up relaxation in the centre of Swiss ... -K in Germany
What a lovely n romantic country excellent paradise, Europe is great 👍 sir Steves once again I want to say thank you so much for your beautiful video,god bless and peace to all of us
I was just in Luzern, Bern, and Zurich at Christmas. Fascinating to try and recognize the same places in winter. Very different. Rick needs to do Christmas in Switzerland. I recommend it, and it's very, very different from this.
Switzerland 🇨🇭 is one of the liveable countries in Europe or maybe in the entire world... And yet one of the wealthiests country. 👍. I ❤️ Switzerland 🇨🇭from the Philippines 🇵🇭👍. The most refined chocolate ever is located in this magnificent country.
I still enjoy looking at those beautiful cities very charming,and looks very clean and swimming in that river looks like a real treat, and i know the food is the best.Maybe i get to visit again one day.
How refreshing! Finally someone who get's the names right, pronounces places the right way and really brings also lesser known facts to foreigners. Well researched and very entertaining even for people who live in Switzerland and so are in the know! Wish there were more of Rick Steves...!
Switzerland"s great cities .Mr. Rick Steves anda penjelajah Europe banyak negara yang dikunjungi. negara ini menakjubkan cendela tinggi bergambar.gedung2 didampingi laut2 luas juga pandangan kereta api nan hijau
Tyler Moser I am Canadian and I love your country. I saw the best of your country and it's very nice. That bridge is Luzern is really nice. I only don't like it because the pictures look worn.
Majestic country lakes and mountains nice city’s with nice museums a country I much enjoyed.Switzerland Remember the Rock music Smoke on the water.byLed Zeppelin in the 196/7s great days in magestic country.
I just started talking with someone in Switzerland and I'm trying to learn a bit about his country. What an absolutely beautiful country. I wish the US government were like Switzerland. Including how drug addiction is viewed and handled.
Sir, I m from India. It's an amazing video. U give a lot of information abt the country and its historical background that makes the video worth watching. Excellent!!
thanks for this amazing video, Rick! u extremely has no idea how insane ur travel vlog to me, especially in these tough days of my high school life. hopefully in years later, i'll be able to comeback to this channel and say "I MADE IT! I TRAVELLED TO EU, ESPECIALLY MY DREAM COUNTRY SWITZERLAND❤️" greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩 🇨🇭
That's why they are so smooth...nice and heavy, can take the bumps, you never feel them...also they keep their tracks very smooth, streets and autobahn also..
The first time I went to Europe, which was in 1997, our tour group visited Lugano, Switzerland. When I visited Europe in 2001 we flew over the Swiss Alps, which was just stunning.
I agree that Schweiz is a wonderful place. On my first trip to Europe in 1987, I stayed in Lucerne. The next day it was raining, so I bought an umbrella. It was red, and the woman at the counter told me it was a woman's umbrella, and almost forbade me from buying it. I gave her very short shrift in my high school German.
Meine Heimatstadt ist Zuerich und bleibt es auch, auch wenn ich vor einiger Zeit nach den USA ausgewandert bin. Wenn ich diesen Film anschaue, bekomme ich direkt Heimweh. Muss jetzt aufhoeren zu schauen, bis spaeter einmal wieder. aber vielen Dank fuer die Publikation.
I really liked this video, and your approach Rick. Such a wide array of positive things, and yet you can still tell how utterly passionless the country is. And yes, I've been there, and yes, some of my family is from Switzerland.
There is a small mistake in the subtitles. At time 21:44 it reads, calling the hour in Swiss German. It should say Swiss French, as Lausanne is in the French speaking part of Switzerland.

I must say Rick Steves makes Europe look Cooler than I ever thought it was and I am from Europe!!
Netherlands, see his name
+Der Kommun1st Karl or Groucho?
Jealous third world trash....
At least u dont live in an American Suburb, truly boring
Thans to Rick Steves
What a lovely country.
It's lovely, where else could you get in one stop a cola, flaming hot Cheetos, and a heroine needle?
Laurence Goldkamp Lol! Zurich has a park named "Needle Park". Was disturbing thru the eyes of a 10 year old back in 1981.
Yes it is
Hello there
I crossed country by train , I will remember all my life beauty views and bridges
I've been to Switzerland a few times, mostly in the German east part of the country. One of the most beautiful countries I've been to and I've been thru much of the world. A wonderful cultured country.
Absolutely my favorite country in the world! I will return...
I am from the U.S.A but I wish I could move to europe, I just love their architecture and ways of dealing with things!
+Cynical Lunatic im with you im thinking france but europe has so much history and is better than us in my eyes
@Druhrfe Hadishia America is very plain and mechanical. That's what I think pretty much. There are some great things here, but it's nothing compared to Europe. Like you said it's not even 300 years old yet and Europe is thousands of years old; no comparison.
Im American and I live in Europe. Theres ways to do it if thats really your dream
@@julianb7990 I would love to know how!

Hello Susan
Hi
It"s a very beautiful country...I intend to visit it again....
One city that was not covered in the video is Geneva. I visited Switzerland in May, 2023 and was in awe of this gorgeous city located on the lake with the Alps showing in the background.

He doesn’t consider Geneva to be worth visiting.
Simply splendid and a reason to see a paradise on the planet!
Rick Steve.... Two given names and one excellent presenter....
I was so glad that my younger sis & I were there in year 2013 for our good memories ...

Oh I miss this a lovely place I've been there last 2008for holiday and i came back again last 2010 so amazing place love it.....
Swimming in this river is seeming very amazing. I liked a lot. I wish travel to Switzerland. Good nature..
My long time dream is to visit Switzerland. God willing, it shall be fulfilled soon.
Rick LOOOOOVES to keep one hand in his pocket while he's talking. It's his favorite move.
Yeah, I've got one hand in my pocket, too. And the other one is givin' a peace sign.
He's holding onto his weed.
@@dr.n1281 Lol!
Reading this as The time stamp marks 19:53, two hands tho
And the other hand holding on to his backpack strap. Rick is living it up with these moves

Rick Steves is very intelligent. Switzerland is an amazing place.
I LIKE LIVING IN YOUR COUNTRY IT 'S SO BEAUTIFUL
Me too!
Excellent Steve’s Europe travel...enjoyed very much. Thanks.
Those trains are like 50 times heavier and larger than our metro system in D.C and yet the ride is like a million times smoother than the metro.
That's why they are so smooth...nice and heavy, can take the bumps, you never feel them...also they keep their tracks very smooth, streets and autobahn also..
DC Metro is pretty good i thought.
The first time I went to Europe, which was in 1997, our tour group visited Lugano, Switzerland. When I visited Europe in 2001 we flew over the Swiss Alps, which was just stunning.
I have visited Bern,Basel,Luzern,Interlaken,Thun
An amazing video . I have admire this country since I was very young . After watching this I want to make it a priority to visit it !!
Hello Carmen
Switzerland Absolutely beautiful
Beautiful place to visit
I agree that Schweiz is a wonderful place. On my first trip to Europe in 1987, I stayed in Lucerne. The next day it was raining, so I bought an umbrella. It was red, and the woman at the counter told me it was a woman's umbrella, and almost forbade me from buying it. I gave her very short shrift in my high school German.
one of the best place to visit
Switzerland is beautiful awesome and incredible. I would love to go to Switzerland oneday.

3 years ago my wife and I went to Switzerland for honeymoon. It’s one of the our nice decision. Do not hesitate!
