Intro

Six in the City: curtain up and action! In the new Swiss Tourism blockbuster, we follow best friends Manon, Nikki, Inés, Amber, Chiara and Rose on their journey of discovery through Switzerland's cities.

Active in the city with Nikki

Nikki's the youngest in the group. She's a passionate yoga teacher and always on the go. Nikki's not just healthy herself, she'd like to get her friends to live more active and healthy lives, too. And there's nowhere better to do that than Switzerland’s cities. Providing so many opportunities for exercise and being so close to the natural world, they make the ideal playground for active holidays.

Sweet and spicy with Inés

Inés is a businesswoman through and through. She hasn't had a holiday for ages, and what's more, her love life has been in the doldrums lately. On a Swiss city trip with her five girlfriends, she finally starts to relax – and even has a little flirtation. For Inés, good food is also part of a successful holiday, as it’s well known that the way to a person’s heart is through their stomach.

Cool design and world-class museums

Manon is a painter and designer, but lately she's felt a lack of inspiration. A girls’ getaway to Switzerland helps restore her creativity. No wonder: good design is a part of the Swiss lifestyle. And an amazing number of world-class museums to visit.
