We were excited to be able to visit this nice and clean city. Our home for the night was the centrally located Hotel des Alpes right opposite the famous wooden Chapel Bridge. We were greeted by friendly people with charming dialects and informed of an unexpected last minute highlight of our trip. An exquisite collection of Modern Art housed in a building which used to be home to the Swiss central bank. The Rosengart collection encompasses unique groups of

paintings by Picasso and Paul Klee. From a documentary we also learned more about the collector, Angelique Rosengart, who Picasso painted several times. We were thrilled to have seen this museum. Switzerland is expensive! It’s such a pity because we really enjoyed our stay there. And it’s a pity for Switzerland, too, because local tourism has taken a hit and is currently mainly relying on large travel groups from China and India and their money.
