Media Reviews
'The most comprehensive guide to Switzerland's transport system and the best reading.' The Times 'The bible for travellers to Switzerland.' Swiss Transport News 'The most detailed and reliable on the shelf.' The Bookseller 'This book is one of the best travel guides I have seen.' Today's Railways 'Anthony Lambert's guide is an excellent planning tool, allowing the reader to plan an individual route taking in alpine scenery and attractions.' EDP Saturday Magazine 'This excellent publication starts with a general introduction to the country and its superb trasport system, following which there are sixteen easily navigated chapters on specific regions and cities. In the opinion of many, myself included, Bradt guides are always a cut above the majority and this book can be recommended unreservedly to anyone with an interest in getting the most out of the Swiss transportation system whilst exploring the country.'
