Information on Switzerland

With a reputation for the outstanding natural beauty of its mountain ranges and rolling hills, Switzerland is a country that lends itself perfectly to a driving holiday. Booking with ArgusCarHire.com will not only ensure that you receive the best Swiss car hire deals but will also give you access to all of our several dozen countrywide pick up and drop off location points, including seven points in Zurich alone.

Located on a large and scenic lake bearing the same name, the city of Zurich is Switzerland’s largest city as well as its main financial centre. Home to far more than just its famous bank account and delicious cheese, this compact and cosmopolitan city has enough attractions and charm to keep visitors coming back over and over again. Located in the old town, the Fraumunster church is a fantastic example of Gothic architecture and features stain-glassed window paintings by Marc Chagal. Both the Landesmuseum and the Kunsthaus museums house engrossing collections, in both history and art respectively.

The striking beauty of the Swiss countryside is perfectly illustrated by the stunning vista of the Swiss Alps. Extending from east to west and located towards the south of the country, the Alps are a hugely popular destination for skiers and snowboarders alike. For visitors in search of a more tranquil and traditional flavour of the Swiss experience, the Central region may be just what you are looking for. Believed to be the original source for the popular folktale of William Tell, the area offers a rich variety of beautiful scenery, historic towns and villages as well as steamboat rides on the picturesque Lake of Lucerne.
