Places to Visit in Switzerland on a Budget Tour

Here are some of the best Places to Visit in Switzerland:

1. Zurich

The first place for you to visit during a Switzerland budget trip has to be Zurich. It's the heart of Switzerland and has everything from history and natural beauty to some amazing shopping deals along the Bahnhofstrasse. You can ride a boat on Lake Zurich, enjoy walking tours of the old town, visit Zurich Zoo and FIFA Museum, and start all your Swiss adventures from here. Thrillophilia’s Zurich tour packages also cover these highlights, making your experience smooth, scenic, and budget-friendly.

2. Geneva

If you keep a tab on international politics, you know of Geneva, but what you will finally see is surely not what you expect. It's a beautiful town set beside the sparkling Lake Geneva and surrounded by mountains like the Jura and Alps, which makes it the perfect picture of Swiss beauty. Apart from the UN headquarters, don't miss seeing the iconic Jet d’Eau fountain or touring places like St Pierre Cathedral, Flower Clock, Botanical Gardens, and Art and History Museum.

3. Jungfraujoch

Jungfraujoch is the ‘Top of Europe’, so you can see why it's a place you cannot miss in your Switzerland budget tour packages. The fun starts with a train ride to Jungfraujoch, which takes you through the beautiful Alps and cosy villages of Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald. Once you reach the top, you will see an Ice Palace and some of the most panoramic views of the Swiss Alps from the observation deck. There's skiing, snowboarding, and sledging too, and it's all in your budget, perfect for anyone planning a 10 days trip to Switzerland that includes a mix of adventure and scenic beauty.

4. Bern

When compared to popular places like Zurich and Interlaken, you might feel Bern is slightly offbeat, but that's what makes it best for a Switzerland budget trip. As the Swiss capital city, Bern is full of old-world charm, and its UNESCO-listed Old Town is full of medieval buildings, fountains, and clock towers. After a walking tour of that, you can enjoy a picnic along the Aare River and shop and dine at cosy, budget-friendly shops and cafes. Don’t miss visiting the famous Zytglogge clock, the Bern Historical Museum, and Einstein House here.

5. Interlaken

Interlaken has some of the best experiences you will get with a Switzerland budget tour. This pretty town lies between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz and is the perfect base if you want to explore the Swiss Alps. You can go paragliding or hiking along local trails like Mount Niesen, enjoy lakeside picnics, and go to places like Jungfraujoch with a train ride from here. It’s a must-visit destination in any well-planned 15 days Switzerland tour package covering the top highlights of Switzerland.

Outdoor Activities in Switzerland

1. Take a Zurich Old Town Walking Tour

When you walk through Zurich’s Old Town, you will feel like you have stepped back in time. The streets and old buildings of Niedordorf, Lindenhof Hill, and Grossmunster and Fraumunster churches tell stories of centuries past, which you will absolutely enjoy with a guided tour. There are even quirky shops and cute cafes along the way, which makes this a great way to soak in the city’s culture on a budget.

2. Day Trip to Jungfraujoch

A trip to Jungfraujoch is a bucket list experience, where you ride one of the world’s most scenic trains and end up at the ‘Top of Europe’. Once there, you can enjoy breathtaking glacier views, skiing and snowboarding, and even see the Ice Palace. It’s an unforgettable day out in the Alps, and you can also find budget options with group tours or off-season deals.

3. Paragliding in Interlaken

If you are craving a little thrill, paragliding in Interlaken is something you can try with all your friends and family members. During the experience, you will get to fly over Lake Thun, Lake Brienz, and Jungfrau with an expert guide and state-of-the-art equipment. It's an epic view of Switzerland’s natural beauty, surprisingly beginner-friendly, and is part of many of our Switzerland budget tour packages.

4. Admire the Stunning Lake Zurich

Lake Zurich is perfect for a relaxed day out as you can walk or cycle along the shore, enjoy a picnic, or hop on a budget-friendly boat cruise. The lake is surrounded by parks and pretty neighbourhoods, so there’s always something lovely to see. It’s a great way to unwind on a romantic honeymoon with your partner or even with kids without spending too much, especially if you're on a Switzerland 5 days package that includes both nature and leisure experiences.

5. Visit Harder Kulm

Harder Kulm offers one of the best panoramic views that you get to see with a Switzerland budget tour. It's pretty easy to reach, as there are quick funicular rides from Interlaken. From the top, you will get to see Lake Brienz, Lake Thun, the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau mountains, and Interlaken, all in one go. There’s even a glass-floor skywalk if you love to try unique angles for clicking pictures, an unforgettable stop during a 7 days Switzerland trip filled with scenic highlights.

Best Time to Visit Switzerland

1. Spring (March to May)

One of the two seasons when you can comfortably plan a Switzerland budget trip is spring, starting from March to May. During these months, the snow starts to melt, wildflowers bloom, temperatures go from 8 to 15 degrees Celsius, and crowds are fewer. You will get amazing deals on stays and other facilities in this period. Hiking and paragliding in Interlaken are really popular, and you can also enjoy visiting Bern and Harder Kulm.

2. Summer (June to August)

Summer is all about adventure, so if that's what you prefer, book your tickets and stay early for June to August. Temperatures go from 19 to 32 degrees Celsius over this period. The long, sunny days and warm weather make these months the peak season. It's the best time for you to go hiking in Interlaken, visiting Geneva and Rhine Falls, and enjoying scenic train rides to Jungfraujoch.

3. Autumn (September to November)

September to November is when the crowds thin out, so it's another great season for your budget trip to Switzerland from India. The temperatures go from 8 to 15 degrees Celsius, so you can go for fun train rides, food festivals, and walk through vineyards and historic neighbourhoods of Zurich.

4. Winter (December to February)

Winter transforms Switzerland into a snowy fairytale, so there can be crowds but not too much as temperatures drop below zero in most places. It's still best if you book tickets early to go skiing, snowboarding, or sipping hot chocolate at Christmas markets and visiting Lucerne and Zermatt.
