This small historic town in northern Switzerland has plenty of charm and a surprising amount of attractions. With renaissance period architecture, a lovely riverside location, a close proximity to Switzerland's largest waterfall and opportunities for outdoor activities.

Or you can take a train to the Rhine Falls which are the largest waterfalls in Europe. Number eight Stein am Rhein. Stein am Rhein is a small but lively town situated where the river meets Lake Constance in the northern area of Switzerland. The charming old town features well-preserved medieval architecture. But by far the most recognizable feature of this town is the historical buildings with intricately painted facades which give Stein am Rhein its fairytale status.

St. Usain is a small untouched medieval town inhabited by only a few hundred people. It is a place of inviting peace and tranquility. Outside of the village visitors can explore the surrounding wilderness via a number of stunning hikes or take to the river by canoe or kayak. It's a perfect location as it's only one hour away by train from Basel. Number 10 Ascona. Ascona the pearl of Lake Maggiore features pretty pastel colored houses clustered together around a tranquil harbor. The climate allows for leisurely strolls along the boardwalk promenade taking in the stunning lake and mountain views. The old town has at its heart the tall bell tower being the town's central landmark and branching out from the church is a series of narrow lanes, boutiques, antique shops and galleries. Gastronomy is also one of the main attractions of the town so if you love your food don't forget to try the hearty risotto.
