Reach each of these four cities in four hours

There are a lot of cities in Europe that you can reach quickly from Switzerland by public transport and that are not constantly overrun by tourists. Here are some ideas to inspire you.

Avignon

How about from Geneva to Avignon? This sun-soaked city by the Rhone has a lot to offer in the way of culture, not to mention a fantastic theater festival and the Pont d’Avignon. Be sure to try a papaline d’Avignon – this tasty bonbon is a local specialty.

Dijon

Take the train from Bern via Lausanne to discover Dijon. Besides its many towers and mustard, this French city is known for its exquisite Burgundy wines, art scene and charming city center.

Innsbruck

This Austrian Alpine town has much to offer in the way of culture, sport, nature and recreation – no matter the season. Don’t forget to sample a plate of Tyrolean Knödel!

Heidelberg

Take the train in no time from Basel to Heidelberg, one of Germany’s most beautiful destinations. Heidelberg’s old town is worth discovering on foot, boasts great bars and – as the city is known for its university – is full of young people.
