Honest thoughts on Switzerland after my first visit

First time in Switzerland and I tried to approach it with open eyes rather than preconceptions. Zürich was the base and a good one — central, manageable, and with strong food options including the best fondue I've ever had. Rhine Falls was the big set piece and fully justified the trip.

Two things worth knowing: eating out drains the budget fast, which is more of a factor than some guides acknowledge. But also: Swiss precision and efficiency, which I'd never read about and turned out to be a genuine pleasure. Solid first impression — I'd return.
