Switzerland is without doubt one of the most natural, breathtakingly beautiful countries in the world. We spent our second anniversary exploring this gorgeous country in November and were lucky enough to arrive for the first heavy snowfall of the season! We absolutely fell in love with Grindelwald and the Jungfrau region, visited the Jungfraujoch Top of Europe attraction and ate our weight in cheese fondue and chocolate whilst exploring beautiful lakeside Lucerne. We loved Switzerland so much that we altered our 2016 European travels so…
One of our favourite ways to experience a new country is by hiring a car and exploring at our own pace. We love the freedom and flexibility that we get from a car as we have the ability to get off the beaten track and see as much as possible. It has been a long time since our last road trip which was around the West Coast of Ireland in May with my parents who were visiting from Australia. We visited Switzerland for our anniversary…
After a magical stay in Grindelwald we knew it was going to be tough for any destination to compare but luckily we were booked in for a night at Hotel Schweizerhof Luzern, one of the most luxurious, elegant hotels in Switzerland and it certainly did not disappoint! We fell in love with Hotel Schweizerhof which was perfectly located in central Lucerne and offered the most stunning views over Lake Lucerne, the snowcapped Alps and city. The hotel epitomises elegance and luxury and we really enjoyed…
After visiting the true city of love, Paris for our first anniversary we decided on naturally beautiful country of Switzerland for our second anniversary. After falling in love with Grindelwald in the Swiss Alps we then headed to the lovely city of Lucerne. I visited Lucerne on my Contiki tour in 2009 and had good memories of it so we decided to visit it together! Lucerne is such a lovely city that has so much character, lovely buildings and a wonderful atmosphere in addition to…
On our last evening in Switzerland we still hadn’t managed to track down a restaurant that would serve us Cheese Fondue. Whilst we were out searching for a restaurant for dinner in Lucerne we stumbled across a fondue restaurant and knew that we couldn’t leave Switzerland without trying it. It was delicious and I cannot believe I am saying this… there was so much cheese, like way too much for two people! I’m glad we ticked it off our list but my advice – share…
One of the highlights of our trip to Switzerland was visiting the Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe! We took an incredible train journey from Grindelwald all the way to the highest railway station in Europe which is located 3,454 metres above sea level! It was a beautiful, scenic train ride and an incredible experience to be standing at the Top of Europe! It was a wonderful experience and despite not having great visibility at the top due to the weather we still had an amazing…
If you follow us on Instagram you’ll know that we recently visited Switzerland for our two year anniversary! We stayed at the stunning and luxurious Hotel Belvedere in Grindelwald. Grindelwald is the most magical village located high in the Swiss Alps and literally looks like it is from a Christmas Card! The whole time we were there I couldn’t stop telling Dan how I felt like we were living in a real life snow globe! We both fell head over heels in love with Grindelwald and…

The hotel is a beautiful, family run hotel where you are treated like family by the staff. Every window of the hotel offers the most breathtaking views over the Alps and we…
