The nature and cities that look enchanting under a white snow cover are ideal for romantic walks. In the cold season, you can see many lovers walking hand in hand in the picturesque landscape of Switzerland. No wonder, after all, that most people yearn for intimacy and security in winter. Since it gets dark early, the squares and streets are decorated with lights that create an atmospheric atmosphere for lovers.
Last year we asked which fairytale places in Switzerland are perfect for romantics and lovebirds. The Blick community suggested these ten travel tips that provide unforgettable memories during the cold season:
