Minus one star for tourist confusion. I guess they assume that everyone knows what all the numbers & symbols mean. Good luck figuring where to stand. Like other large cities, make a beeline to your seat. Behaviors you will receive scorn for: man spreading, piling your stuff on the seat next to you, otherwise hogging the empty seat. God knows what will happen to you if you litter. Some of the local stops are only announced in Swiss German. Keep a lookout for your destination.

It's a very convenient train station being in the center of town. Since Lausanne is built on a…read morehill, don't forget to take the elevators inside the station if you have luggage. Much more convenient. You can even take an elevator in the back, which takes you down further on the hill. Also, if you're only in town for a couple of days, there are some very convenient hotels just in front of the station. There's also an elevator on the opposite side of street at the front of the station which will take you downstairs and you can roll your bags into the station under the street. I found the elevators very convenient and a definite plus for stopovers in Lausanne. You can even take a direct high speed train to Paris. If you have an extra few minutes, check out the beautiful cafeteria with the painted wall murals of different cities in Switzerland, which is on the west side of the train station. There's also a great pharmacy, and a COOP supermarket, which is open very late...a lifesaver in Switzerland where everything closes on Sunday.

Yelp Review 2026 #114:…read more When you stay in Interlaken, you have two options: stay close to Interlaken Ost or stay close to Interlaken West. Both have pros and cons depending on what you value. If you want a quiet area and plan to go to Harder Kulm, Grindelwald, Jungfrau, and Lauterbrunnen - stay close to Interlaken Ost. If you like shopping, lots of restaurant options, nightlife and plan to take a cruise to Lake Thun a stay close to Interlaken West. If you're taking a train to Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald - be sure to pay attention to the labels on the floor. Everyone good on. The same train number but you don't want to hop on the wrong carriage. The train splits in Zweilütschinen. If you have 1st class ticket, you might want to slum it out in 2nd class on the right carriage or keep walking til you see a 1st class carriage and risk getting left behind! It's just one train ride, you'll live! On the way back to Interlaken Ost, there will be 1st vs 2nd class carriages. If you only paid for 2nd class tickets, do not hop on the 1st class carriage. Yes, there's a lot of people in 2nd class and you'll end up standing because there's no seat available but that doesn't give you the right to go to 1st class. There's always somebody checking your ticket. It made for good entertainment for me guessing who didn't have 1st class tickets but were in the 1st class carriage - I got 3/3 correct! It's always the ones who watch videos on speaker. This is where 1st class tickets become more obviously better. There's always seats in 1st class. It's quieter. There's no store, cafe, restaurant at the station per se. However, you'll find plenty around the station.

This village is another great starting point when traveling through Bernese Oberland. There are so…read moremany attractions in and around Grindelwald. The experiences can vary from day to day (and season to season) since there are so many different activities and sights to see in the area. You could really spend a whole week here. We started our journey to Jungfraujoch from the Grindelwald Terminal via the Eiger Express. It's the fastest way to get to Eiger Glacier station. There are some amazing views of Grindelwald and the Eiger during this 15 minute ride. After that, we walked through the main part of town to take in the Alpine scenery all around us. There are many shops, restaurants, and hotels decorated with flowering plants. They could all be that beautiful postcard picture with the Swiss chalet and mountain backdrop. It's no wonder why this has become a very popular resort village. Even the views between the houses and shops were amazing. It was a dream come true. A place that we always wanted to visit together. A very happy place!

This small mountain village is freaking awesome. Grindelwald is in the Bernese Oberland (Jungfrau…read moreRegion) of the canton of Bern. Eiger mountain in the background is awe inspiring. It is by far one of the most photogenic alpine backdrops in the world. You gotta visit in person to appreciate the view. Photos are not enough. Visiting in winter is even more stunning as the town is covered in snow - it's damn beautiful.

I wasn't sure what to expect being in my first train station ever and in a foreign country to boot…read more A very large, state of the art display board with all the information you need to make it to your train on time. Track, time, rail line etc. I found the station very clean and very friendly with a police presence that was willing to help if you had questions. The tourist information booth was in plain sight and provided lots of pamphlets, maps and recommendations for just about anything you need. I was amazed at how many trains were going to so many places around Europe. Again my first experience in a train station so I was a little bit in aww. lol With a nice selection of food court and retail shops you could use to kill some time if you were early for your connection. And a short walk to many traditional Swiss restaurants right on the Reuss river where it meets Lake Luzern. But be warned. Trains arrive and depart on time! So don't get distracted with the shops. Lol All in all a very quick but nice experience. I would definitely be ok with traveling by train again.

Yelp Review 2026 #50:…read more Zürich Hauptbanhof connects Zürich to the airport, and to other parts of Switzerland. It's pretty big but east to navigate. There's a board where you can see the schedule and what platform each train is leaving from. There are restaurants, cafes, convenience stores, and chocolate shops at the station. I can't speak on restrooms since I didn't use them but every restroom I've used in Switzerland has been clean. Outside the Hauptbanhof, there are buses, taxis, and trams to connect you if you're staying somewhere away from this station. But there are hotels within walking distance from here. I've taken trains to/ from Zürich Hauptbanhof in the afternoon, early morning and at night and I felt safe regardless of the time of day.

This is one of the largest train stations I've seen in Europe!…read more It's like a mall! There are plenty of shopping options available, including some local Swiss chocolate shops.

Surprisingly not a large station…read more Inside is very modern and clean. At the two entrances were a handful of grab and go food spots. A few more up the escalator to the platforms. The large computerized departure board is at the main entrance over the escalators. Departure platforms are posted 30-45 prior. Make sure when you're on the platform that your train is the one you see. Three trains came and went while waiting for ours. Surprised we didn't pass thru customs coming in or leaving.

Yelp Review 2026 #167:…read more I've gotten used to clean, organized train stations from all the cities and towns I've been to in Switzerland. Gare de Genève Cornavin seemed like I wasn't in Switzerland anymore. It was chaotic and definitely some sketchy characters walking around asking for money. There's no police/ security. Yes, they have a lot of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants at the station. You can also catch buses here. You have to pay attention to which station you need to be catching a bus from (arranged alphabetically but not in consistent order which was frustrating). Catching a bus is nuts. There's about 6 bus lines per station with at least 10 people waiting blocking the entrance to the main train station. It's only quiet here from 9pm-8am. I've caught a bus/ train at different times of the day. The busiest is in the afternoon but it's not like you have much of a choice if you need to be somewhere.
