Description
This practical and inspirational guide takes you on a tour of Monocle's most cherished Swiss spots. We have traversed the cities, hiked to remote mountain villages, swum in the lakes and rivers and skied the highest alpine slopes to bring you the best of the nation's bounty.
We take you from stunning medieval villages to the renowned galleries and contemporary architecture in Basel, Geneva and Zurich, and beyond to the lakes, rivers, vineyards and alpine peaks, introducing Monocle's favourite places to stay, eat, shop and visit across Switzerland. Discover traditional mountain cuisine as well as great music venues, cool bars and the best luxury pitstops. You'll also find out about a new generation of food and wine producers upholding ancient traditions and creating the best produce from local ingredients, as well as contemporary artisans creating great fashion, jewellery and leather accessories.
For those looking to spend more time, or even put down roots in Switzerland, the book also profiles the cities, towns and cantons where you could make a home, the architects and designers to commission and interior design inspiration for your new apartment in Zurich or a cosy alpine retreat. So, whether you are putting together an itinerary for a summer hiking break, a winter snowboarding escape, a culinary and winetasting tour, or planning to stay a little longer, Switzerland:The Monocle Handbook makes the perfect companion.
