    Its really a very nice mountain in the Bernese Alps of Switzerland, it has white, snow-capped peaks.And the Ice Palace at Jungfraujoch is the highest of its kind in the world .Only seasoned hikers and mountaineers are advised to attempt climbing Mount Jungfrau's steep rock faces. However, you can take a Jungfraujoch railway and explore the multiple activities available to you at Jungfraujoch.

    First, the scenery of the mountain is very good. The beef burgers on the top of the mountain are cheap and delicious. I recommend everyone to play the flying eagle and flying chair. If you have time, you can buy four items and spend a whole day here. There are also many souvenir shops at the foot of the mountain.

    The Capel Covered Bridge is one of the landmarks of Lucerne, Switzerland and one of the oldest wooden bridges in the world. It is a wooden covered bridge, 204 meters long and about 2 meters wide. The bridge is in a folded line with a turning point in the middle, which connects the Lucerne Octagon Water Tower. The interior of the bridge is unique, with 110 triangular painted wooden boards hanging from the top depicting the history, myths and saints of Lucerne. These painted boards are works from the 17th and 18th centuries and have high artistic value.

    What a worthwhile museum to visit!! You'll learn a lot and have plenty of free samples – definitely worth the ticket price! Excellent value for money!! Highly recommend the Dubai chocolate – it was so delicious 🤤 I also bought some homemade chocolates where a master craftsman wrote "Merry Christmas" on them (for free) – so exquisite and beautiful, full of artistic flair 👍👍😍

    I'd seen the exterior from the train, but this was my first visit. It's close to the station and a fun walk. Honestly, as a castle enthusiast, it's a little disappointing. Apparently it's undergoing restoration, but perhaps due to funding constraints, the wood is too new and inconsistent in places. In that respect, it pales in comparison to the secret tour of Venice's Palazzo Vecchio. It might be good if they could make their wine more famous. The castle is narrow, with many low sections and lots of ups and downs, so I wouldn't recommend it for those without a lot of stamina. There were a few kids dressed up in Halloween costumes, accompanied by kindergarteners? They were excited. It took just over two hours to walk around the route at your own pace. I recommend a nice, cool day.

    Engelberg-Titlis is a breathtaking alpine paradise that stole my heart! The panoramic views from the rotating cable car are absolutely unforgettable. From snow-covered peaks to thrilling glacier activities, every moment felt magical. The Titlis Cliff Walk offered an adrenaline rush with stunning scenery. Engelberg village, with its charming vibes and cozy cafés, added a peaceful touch to the adventure. Whether you're a nature lover or thrill-seeker, this destination is a must-visit.

    The Cathedral of Zurich is one of the three main churches in Zurich, Switzerland, and is designed to incorporate a variety of architectural styles such as Romanesque, post-Gothic and neo-Gothic. Its most distinctive feature is the towering twin towers, which makes it also known as the "Cathedral of Zurich Twin Towers". The interior of the church is simple and reflects the style of the 16th century Reformation. The church has stained glass windows created by Swiss modern art master Giacometti, whose artistic masterpieces are painted glass. In addition, the church's underground church and the seat of the Saints are older parts of the existing history, dating back to the late 11th century and early 12th century, and still can see traces of the frescoes on the decoration.
