Should I go to Switzerland from Paris?
Upvote:6
I don't think it's worth it.
Depending where in Switzerland you're going, it will take at least three hours each way by train, and potentially much longer (5+ hours to Interlaken, for example). And that's only the time between the train stations; you'll need time on each end to get to/from the stations. You could easily spend more time going back and forth than actually seeing things in Switzerland.
It will also involve a fair amount of expense. A round trip by train (bus would be cheaper, but would take up all your available time) on those dates will likely cost over €200 for, if you start early enough in the morning, maybe six hours of usable sightseeing time in Switzerland. You may be able to get a cheaper flight to some places in Switzerland, though again, consider the time taken for the entire journey, not just the flight time.
I personally like taking costly day trips that don't make a ton of logical sense, and I wouldn't do this one. You're only giving yourself one full day and two evenings in Paris. Given the number of things you could see and do in Paris (see "at a glance"), that's not much at all. I'd spend the time you have left in Paris, not jumping back and forth, or consider a shorter day trip from Paris if you really want to go somewhere else.
