After an enjoyable approximately 2-hour train ride, we arrive in St. Moritz, the natural wonder and favorite destination of the jet set in Switzerland, and after free time and a short sightseeing tour depending on the Bernina railway departure time, we continue to our outlet center visit. After enjoyable free time for affordable and quality shopping at the outlet center, which hosts stylish stores of world-famous prestigious brands, cafes and restaurants, and personal activity areas, we depart for Zurich by our waiting vehicle. Following a panoramic drive through Heidi’s Villages, featuring the views of endless mountains and green meadows, where our beloved heroine Heidi, who lives with her grandfather and her best friend Peter in the Alps, will bring back many scenes remembered from the cartoon and left a smile in our childhood, we arrive in Zurich.

On our tour, we first go to the fairy-tale town of Colmar, where we will see the Old Customs House, the Pfister House, and the colorful houses around the Rhine River in the city’s most famous area, Petite Venise (Little Venice). In this unique setting surrounded by the Rhine River and canals, you will have the opportunity to enjoy many delicious foods and buy many souvenirs. Our next stop is Riquewihr, famous for its vineyards, flower-filled balconies, distinctive rows of shops, cobblestone pedestrian streets, buildings that somehow survived World War II without damage, and charming cafes; a town that resembles a Grimm fairy tale and includes the Dolder Museum, where the town’s story is documented and preserved to this day. After our visit to Riquewihr, we head to Strasbourg. Located on the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and France, and also the largest city in the Alsace region, Strasbourg welcomes us like something out of a fairy tale, as beautiful as a painting. In the vehicle-free center and streets of Strasbourg, which was added to the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List in 1988 and has hosted the European Parliament since 1992, we will take a panoramic city tour on foot, during which we will see Gutenberg Square and Statue, Notre Dame Cathedral, the city’s most important and oldest structure located in the heart of the city, and Kammerzell House, the oldest house in the city, which still serves as a hotel and restaurant today.
