Summer has landed and the best place to enjoy it isn’t some faraway exotic land – it’s right here in Switzerland. How could it not be with all the amazing stuff that’s happening, which we’ve packed into issue three of Time Out Switzerland.
We give you the low-down on why a Swiss staycation is where it’s at this summer, with a handpicked selection of incredible hotels that’ll have you falling head-over-heels for Switzerland in no time – from eco-luxury geodesic tents to Michelin-starred foodie retreats in the mountains. Trust us, these venues are worth sticking around for.
We also tell you how to make the most of the sunny season with top spots for summer swimming, the very best restaurants for alfresco dining and bars with picture-perfect outdoor areas. Plus, we’ve got a glimpse of Switzerland’s first canopy walkway, set 50m up in the sky, or if that sounds too energetic/terrifying, head to one of the pop-up open air cinemas we’ve hunted down.
There’s also a shopping guide on where to pick up the latest impossibly cool Japanese items of desire (because – let’s face it – Japan never goes out of fashion), and comprehensive listings for all the arts, culture, music and nightlife happenings you’ll need to light-up your whole summer.
The magazine is available across Switzerland from a range of distributors – some of which are listed below. A full list of pickup points will be available soon.
