Zurich is the main gateway to the German-speaking part and to the mountains of the Bernese Oberland; Geneva sits in the west by the lake and is handy for French-speaking Switzerland and Montreux. Basel is a third, regional option in the north of the country.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By car from the Czech Republic, it&#8217;s roughly <strong>800\u2013900 km<\/strong> via Germany and Austria \u2013 realistically a full day behind the wheel. Bear in mind that to use the motorways in Switzerland you need an <strong>annual motorway sticker (vignette) for 40 CHF<\/strong> \u2013 you buy it at the border, and there&#8217;s no shorter alternative. You can get there by train too, but with several changes and without much saving compared to a flight.<\/p>\n\n\n<!-- LK_DEST_FLIGHTS start -->\n<!-- LK_DEST_FLIGHTS end -->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"auto\">Renting a car<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Switzerland you honestly need a car less than you&#8217;d expect \u2013 the trains and mountain railways run flawlessly and take you up to places you couldn&#8217;t drive to anyway. A car makes sense when you want to drive over mountain passes, head into side valleys off the public transport routes, or you&#8217;re travelling with family and a lot of luggage. But for a classic loop around the cities and main attractions you don&#8217;t need one, and you&#8217;ll often just end up dealing with expensive parking.<\/p> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Book in advance through a rental comparison site<\/strong> \u2013 on the spot in season it tends to be pricier with less choice.<\/li><li><strong>Watch out for insurance and the deposit<\/strong> \u2013 basic cover usually comes with a high excess; pay extra for full insurance with no excess.<\/li><li><strong>The motorway sticker is mandatory<\/strong> \u2013 the annual vignette costs <strong>40 CHF<\/strong> and you buy it at the border; there&#8217;s no other option.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<!-- LK_DEST_CAR start -->\n<div class=\"lk-dest\"><a class=\"lk-dest-cta\" href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/switzerland?a_aid=lukaskonecny&amp;chan=hub&amp;data1=svycarsko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\">Compare car rental prices (DiscoverCars) \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<!-- LK_DEST_CAR end -->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ubytovani\">Where to stay in Switzerland<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Switzerland has the most expensive accommodation of any European country, so choose your base smartly.
