High speed train in Switzerland - Photo Jared Bloch
Geneva, Switzerland – I recently spent a lovely day in Lucerne with a friend of mine. Riding the train in the morning, having a cup of coffee, croissants, enjoying the view and the – excellent – conversation, was a treat!
It reminded me of a resource I recently came across: a real-time, train tracker in Switzerland. Sort of a Swiss cyber model railroad. For some train buffs knowing that Swiss trains run on time is not enough. Track any train in Switzerland, look up estimated train arrivals and see live departures at the click of a mouse.
Tip: Type the name of the city you are searching for on the right hand side of the screen and enjoy the view!

Happily using her newly acquired Carte Junior
Geneva, Switzerland – One of the first things we did when we arrived in Geneva was to buy a Carte Junior which gave our 8 year-old free rides on all public transport systems in Switzerland for one year! That is a bargain a parent cannot pass up.

Geneva, Switzerland - We all know Geneva is expensive but there are many ways to save here and there, especially when it comes to the younger ones in the family. And if you live further out, and have teenagers, you should be aware of one of the best bargains around.
