Town of Roses (Rapperswil) One of the most beautiful and charming small cities in all of Switzerland on the eastern shore of Lake Zürich. One could consider it a stroke of luck that the city's medieval center has for the most part survived centuries of development. Thanks to its good preservation, visitors from all corners of the globe can witness a live monument of national importance. Cultural assets that have been handed down through the centuries are carefully maintained and cared for. Awarded by the Council of Europe. (Available Year Round.)
