Europe Trip: Switzerland - Lugano and Lucerne

Just like Italy, we spent about five days in Switzerland. And unlike Italy, everywhere in Switzerland is so picture perfect.

I would say that Italy is a place where you visit the churches and museums and every part of the country is filled with history and each building seems to have its own story.

The breathtaking pictures from the travel magzines were so out-of-this-world that very often we used to scoff at the elaborations thinking that they might be the campaign tactics used by the Switzerland tourism board. However, reality dawned on us when we got an opportunity to stay in one of the non-polluted and yet so perfectly beautiful places on Earth. And this is Switzerland.

The first place we visited in Switzerland is Lugano. I think even the suckiest camera is able to capture postcard-like pictures.


I looked like I was standing in front of a giant painting.


Who wouldn't want to live in this place?

Obviously, we were on high spirits after seeing such awe-inspiring view of the river and mountains.

Lugano provides free wifi even at the park.

And definitely portable water!

The next day, we also visited The Lion Monument at Lucerne. It is an allegory of the defeat of the Swiss Guard during the storming of Tuileries in 1792. As per our tour guide, currently, the only place where we can see Swiss Guard will be in Vatican City. Swiss Guard were known for their bravery and loyalty.
