Swiss Day TripsFree on the App Store

Every trip that fits your day.

Tell it where you are and how long you're willing to sit on a train. Swiss Day Trips answers with real places you can reach by public transport, with the actual next departure, platform and delay, and today's weather when you get there.

127 places worth a day, on the map.

Each pin is a destination from the app's catalogue. Pick where you start, tap a place, and check the next connection. That last part is live: this page asks the same open Swiss timetable the app uses.
