Being July 24 a local holiday, we were able to expand our search area and one of the cheapest flights we found, took us to a country that we had not yet had the luck to know, so we did not think too much and we started to Prepare a trip to Switzerland in 5 days.
The first thing we did after having the tickets in our hands was to start designing a possible itinerary that would allow us to make the most of the time we have on this trip to Switzerland in 5 days.
