 Switerland: Rail, Road Lake September 15, 2007
I do not feel this book is as easy to access as a take along travel guide as I would have hoped. All the information is included, but in an "at a glance" fashion.
Lots of information August 28, 2007

Very comprehensive list of train possibilities from every location. Not as much boat information. Not really useful for trip tourists, but maybe if you were going over for 6 months or longer to work there. Doesn't really include information on why you'd want to go to certain locations (hiking/food/castle/etc).
 Chock full of great maps and information!!! May 27, 2007

This book is a great resource for those planning a rail journey of Switzerland. There are country maps, region maps, and city maps. Every inch of railroad is covered in this book. The bus and boat coverage is less thorough however. The author does tell you where you can catch some of the more important Post bus routes. The author has also included links to the tourism websites of many of the cites mentioned. Most Swiss tourism websites are full of excellent information. Many smaller, off the beaten track towns are listed as well. Some hotel information is also included.

This book is mainly for those traveling by train or bus. It was not very helpful for traveling by auto although it did mention some things to see in planning routes.
Great book that takes you beyond the standard tourist spots February 6, 2004

We lived in Switzerland for two years and this was our bible - it covers every rail line and many postal and boat routes. It describes interesting sites all along the way so you can see that there is a Switzerland beyond Lucerne, the Bernese Oberland, Zurich, Gimmelwald and other standard tourist destinations. We found great out of the way museums, hikes etc from this book. I'm ordering the newest edition for my upcoming summer trip. We've worn our last edition out! This is a must if you travel by Swiss Pass and the fabulous Swiss train system.
