If your mind’s eye pictures the most majestic destination on earth, it should look a lot like Switzerland. All around you lay impressive peaks, dramatic mountain passes, crystalline alpine lakes and cities of immeasurable elegance.
The stunning city of Geneva is influenced by its French-speaking population, with stylish shopping and spectacular dining. Zurich is postcard-worthy, with cobblestone pathways, lush parks and flowering gardens. Culture thrives here, with unrivaled museums and flourishing theater.
You won’t want to miss Lucerne, a storybook town of narrow streets, covered bridges and flowing fountains. Whether you come for small pleasures like delectable Swiss chocolate, or big pleasures like the amazing Matterhorn – Switzerland will enchant you like a vision from your own imagination.
Sophisticated Switzerland offers a partnership law for gay and lesbian couples, and this accommodating environment is why homosexuals have established a vibrant community there. As you would expect, there is practically no sexual discrimination there.
Zurich is Switzerland’s largest city, and also the center of a modern and active gay scene. The city has enacted same-sex partnership laws, and also features killer Christopher Street Day and Techno Parades. To find the city’s gay scene, one would traditionally visit Chreis 1 in the old town around Niederdorf Street, east of the Limmat. Chreis 4 offers a broader, more alternative LGBT scene, while the scene in the industrial area of Chreis 5 features some newer discos. |
