1 week in Switzerland Itinerary

Go to Interlaken, then travel into the Berner Oberland. Grindelwald, Wengen, Murren.

To actually help you, what types of things do you want to do/see? Hiking, lakes, museums, historic sites…..? Where are you entering/exiting the country? You’ve asked a very general question and unless you want very general suggestions like the one above, you’ll want to provide more information.

Suki’s suggestion is what everyone suggests here all of the time, no matter what the OP says that they like to do, so definitely no problem with that.

Just to clarify and help you out with your own research, Grindelwald, Wengen and Mürren are all part of the Jungfrau Region, which is a small part of the Berner Oberland. It is one of the most popular locations in Switzerland for tourists.

Here you can find all kinds of information about the region. You can see all of the towns/villages that are part of it and what each has to offer. Switch from the current default of ‘winter’ to ‘summer’.

There are, indeed, many areas of Switzerland other than the Jungfrau Region. A few questions to help us help you:

1. Where are you coming from? Will you arrive in Switzerland by air or by train for another European country?
2. What do you like to do when you travel? Hiking and walking are big in Switzerland but not everyone’s choice. Walking and hiking, scenic train rides, walking in cute villages, cruising on alpine lakes, cities with museums and history: what’s your pleasure?
3. Do you like to relax and immerse yourselves in one location for a few days or go go go and sample two or three places in a week?
4. Where will you go after a week in Switzerland?

Thank you all for your helpful responses. We will be coming off of a 2 week Danube river cruise and will travel from Budapest to Switzerland via air. We like outdoor activities and history. No museums.

I'd go ZRH to Berner Oberland for 4 nights, then to Luzern for 2-3 nights. Its only 1 1/4 hours to ZRH, so you can go day of departure.
