1. CHRISTMAS IN SWITZERLAND
Fancy a cooler climate and a European holiday destination? You are in luck! Switzerland has reopened tourism to EU and EFTA visitors since June 15th, 2020 with an additional list of 14 approved low-risk countries. Switzerland was just crowned the “Safest Place To Visit in 2020” by travel insurance provider Insurly, with a score of 93.4/100. With its trustworthy and efficient healthcare system, green transport practices, and low chance of violent incidents, travelers have little to no risk in visiting Switzerland. After spending almost half a year in quarantine, it is really time to think about travel plans for the Christmas holidays. Make sure to visit Switzerland to de-stress in thermal baths and spas, wonder at the views from panoramic Trains like the Glacier Express, GoldenPass Panoramic, and visit incredible Christmas markets. If you are searching for a festive village to spend the days prior to Christmas with families and friends, the Montreux Christmas market is spread along the shores of Lake Geneva with over 170 chalet stalls with handmade crafts, gifts, and food from all over the world. Take a train ride across the Swiss Alps that have remained pristine with snow for generations such as the GoldenPass line, an incredibly scenic route between Lucerne and Montreux. Afterward, stay in an ultra-modern and facilitated hotel in the midst of the Swiss Alps to unwind from the confinement.
