I have been to Switzerland many times for extended lengths of time, and there are many places you should see.
Zurich is my favorite city, it's so beautiful! The Spring/Summer is the best time to visit because you can walk around the city and explore the old section of Zurich. The cathedral, GrossmÃ¼nster, is located in the old section, along the Limmat River. It dates back to the 13th century, and had a great part in the Protestant Reformation. You have to see the stained glass windows, they were created by Marc Chagall and are absolutely gorgeous.
I highly recommend taking a boat tour of the Zurichsee because you get excellent panoramic views of all the towns along the lake, and if you have a chance to visit any of these towns go to KÃ¼snacht. There is a small hotel right on the lake called Sonne, and you can eat lunch or dinner on the terrace which is along the lake as well. A lot of people in the area do this, so if you do go, try to get there fairly early so you can pick the best table.

Come to where i live.Lugano city (Switzerland)
You can take a funicular up to Monte Bre and see the gulf downward.
It's outstanding.
You may like to visit Villa Favorita where art and paintings are exhibited.

In mid summer,there is Estival Jazz,a concert holds every year in the city square,it's free for public.you'll have fun.

Morcote and Melide are amazing and romantic little towns.
Try visiting the Swiss Miniature in Melide,this is very interesting.

Don't forget to drop by in Locarno and Ascona too.Bellinzona is the capital city of canton Ticino.There are mediaval castles and museums.

In Austria,do visit Vienna and try Sacher chocolate.
Visit Hunderdwasser and Opera theater.Don't forget Prater,the amusement park.
You may also love to see Salsburg,the city where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born.
Have a nice trip.

Well you are talking to a girl who has been to Switzerland 8 times.
I think you should definitely go to Zurich. It's a beautiful city. Also if you are planning to go to the Italian side you should visit Lake Lugano.
A wonderful place up in the mountains is Murren.
Also Appenzel. That's where the famous cheese is from.

You are going to love it!!! I practically live over there!! :)

Oh you're so lucky! I went to both 2 years ago and loved every minute of my time spent there. In Switzerland, you really should go to Luzern - the famous covered bridge spans Lake Luzern where the swans are abundant. Take a ride up Mt Pilatus via the cogwheel railway train - the views are breathtaking! In Austria, you should visit Innsbruck - the Swarovski crystal headquarters are there, and the city is very vibrant.
