Where to park when visiting Swiss cities?

You were considering Bucharest, right? Apart from the Lipscani district, Bucharest isn’t great... I’d recommend Cluj-Napoca instead. You can find direct flights from Beauvais (Wizz Air). Two other must-see fortified Saxon towns are Sibiu and Sighișoara.

Switzerland isn't generally a victim of mass tourism...

I didn’t get the same vibe at the Aare Gorge or around Interlaken.

You can’t say we have to put up with crowds!

Like anywhere else—country or region—it depends on where you go...

I don’t deal with crowds in my village. But if I had the bad idea to climb up Puy de Dôme, I definitely would.

Zagreb isn’t necessarily the most beautiful city; the appeal lies elsewhere, much like Bucharest.

Spots for the Tatra Mountains.

Swiss prices are made for the Swiss, not just for tourists...

Absolutely. But even for the Swiss, it must sting a bit since if the border’s close, they cross it to do their shopping.

Still, it’s cheaper than the US, Norway, or Iceland. And generally, you get what you pay for—which isn’t always the case in the US.

Bucharest isn’t really about the aesthetics, to be honest... But the museums, Ceaușescu’s palace... I enjoy exploring capitals. Good to see when you can.

For now, it’s Yverdon in the rain—less fun...

Parking is free on Sundays in Neuchâtel. Given the weather, we took advantage of it to visit the museum, parking right next to it.

It was especially useful for heading back to take shelter because we got hit by a gust of wind in the face shortly after.

It’s also the hassle of having to park far away when the weather’s terrible.
