You can't be
neutral about Switzerland

ZURICH, Switzerland — My first visit to Switzerland
was more than three decades ago, when I spent all my
time in Lucerne, surely one of the most charming
cities in Europe. I was enchanted by its sights and
the rural scenes — fairy-tale chalets, meadows of
wildflowers, and cows, their necks draped with
bells, grazing on the slopes of mountains that
towered above the countryside. I fell in love.
Subsequent visits have taken me mainly to the Alpine
regions — back to Lucerne and to Interlaken, home to
Jungfrau, one of the highest of the Swiss Alps. On
this trip, however, I expanded my horizons, visiting
a city I had been to briefly (Zurich) and one I had
never been to (Lausanne.) I couldn't have made
better choices. Not only is each city a traveler's
delight, but each is home to a hotel that must be
ranked among the world's very best.
