Switzerland is a country that looks in photos as if it doesn't exist on earth — mountains reflected in turquoise lakes, and tiny villages with wooden houses painted onto hillsides 🏔️. And despite all this beauty, Switzerland is expensive in a way that might genuinely shock you. But if you plan well, no other destination in Europe gives you this level of nature, cleanliness, and peace.
