elef Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Not yet SwitzerlandSwitzerland, which belongs neither to the EU nor to the European Economic Area, has been associated to the Schengen area and is set to implement the Schengen rules by November 2008.[48] Similarly to the arrangements made between the EU, Norway, and Iceland, the accession agreement concluded between the EU and Switzerland provides for an exemption of the application of the rules concerning controls of goods at borders.[49] However, the much stricter provisions in the Schengen Borders Code providing for the abolition of internal border checks do not contain any exemption with respect to Switzerland. The Swiss authorities are of the opinion that they will not be entitled to perform systematic customs or other checks on persons for the mere reason that they cross the border, once the Schengen rules will have been implemented in Switzerland; they are planning to continue to perform spot-checks, which are based on risk analysis of the authorities. wikipedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentors Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 sorry, wikipedia is only partly correct: fact is: People from follow countries can enter Switzerland YET with a Multiple Schengen Visa: Thailand :alert: , Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Taiwan, VAEmirates, Saudi Arabia. Switzerland will be soon a part of Schengen, estimated on 1. November 2008 or January 2009, same timetable for Liechtenstein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Berlin is OK... rented a car and drove to Frankfurt, Munich, Vienna, Neuschwanstein, Garmisch, etc. ok? just ok? that's all, ok? Frankfurt is a ugly shitty town! if you think it is ok too, then i do not believe you anymore. Neuschwanstein is a castle, not a town! Munich is interesting for beer drinkers and Garmisch is for tourists skiing or mountain climbing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaakSiDa Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 So you wanna do the Jappo thing: 10 European cities in one week? How about (Stockholm), (Copenhagen), (Dublin), (Madrid), Lisbon, Paris, Bruxelles, (Amsterdam), (Berlin), (Cologne), Munich, Neuschwanstein, Vienna, (Milan), Venice, Rome, Athens.. Not necessarily in this order. The ones in parentheses are a possibility, the others a 'must see'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
