Tours by Locals in Switzerland in 2026: The Best Sightseeing

Switzerland's sightseeing rewards the neighbourhood walk over the headline attraction. The Kunsthaus holds the most important art collection in the country — Giacometti across multiple rooms, a strong Expressionist collection, and French Impressionism — in an expanded building of genuine quality. The Swiss National Museum covers the country's history from the Neolithic through to the present with folk art and ceremonial weapons. The old town's Reformation churches and the Chagall windows extend the cultural circuit. Geneva's Palais des Nations, the Red Cross Museum, and the CERN visitor centre provide the internationally-minded sightseeing register. The Aletsch Glacier UNESCO site and the Berner Oberland mountain landscapes extend the sightseeing into natural terrain. That's where the magic happens.
