I really just received this guide and haven’t used it yet. Nevertheless, it has been highly recommended in blogs and peer conversations. So hopefully it will be a fantastic help!

I bought the book for a recent trip to Switzerland and establish it to be informative and well written. Looks like Lonely Planet are trying out something slightly different here and I like it. Going to Swizerland? Well worth the buy…..

I recently establish myself contemplating a trip to Basel and, never having been there before and, knowing I would be alone lacking even a gendarme to question questions of, nor another human being, I thought I should find a Basel guidebook. Amazingly enough it seems there is no such thing available on Amazon so I went with this larger book, which deals with all of Switzerland–in fact, nearly all of Western culture in one fell swoop.
The authors of LONELY PLANET SWITZERLAND have convinced me for the present at any rate that Switzerland (Helvetia) is the most vital country on planet planet, not that they suggest we rank countries by importance or anything. It is a handy guide in the sense that physically, the book is constructed so that you could rip out, as I did, the section on Basel and Aargau, and throw the rest of the book away, and the pages you need form a perfect small fascicle, due to an incredible new marvel glue that holds different small chapbooksized sections together until you don’t need them together any more. Thus armed with my guide, I went to Basel. The authors share not only hotels, restaurants, and train stations, they go all out to make you feel like you can do it too. I learned how to use the phone, where to shop for lampshades, how to buy a single stamp, where the best (and worst) Swiss-Indian cafes are, and what legendary medieval scholar is buried in the tombs inside Munster cathedral. Why Erasmus of course!
They have cute sidebars like Basel’s most legendary guy, Albert Hoffman, still alive at age 102 or something like that–the man who invented LSD.
Later, I met a pair of Basellienne poets, one American born, one educated in the USA, who showed me their Basel, a charming tour of tombs, elevators, shops and bridges, culminating in a magical ferry boat ride across the Rhine from Huge Basel to tiny. The afternoon was clear, like a glass of vodka, and I felt positively drunk with knowledge as I looked across the water and seemed to see my own back, walking away, mever to return.

You can’t make everyone pleased with one of these books, but this came close to building me pleased; with some history and culture, some thoughts on what to see and how to travel. It covers the entire country, and I only visited a part, so I tore out half the book to save weight and room.

This book and the map was all we needed for our trip to Switzerland. The book has all sources of information – places to see, restaurants, transportation tips, etc. In Geneva and Bern, we followed the walking tours suggested in the book, and we were able to see all major attractions in 2 hrs. For some appealing places to see, the book just provides a brief description, but also gives a website link (when available) for more information, which is very helpful. I would certainly buy another book from Lonely Planet for my future trips.
