JUNGFRAUJOCH,SWITZERLAND

JUNGFRAU-

During our visit to the  Switzerland, we got an opportunity to visit Jungfrau . Jungfrau is known for its extra ordinary beauty and fantastic land escape. The Jungfrau-Aletsch region in Switzerland is also a UNESCO  World Natural Heritage Site. Jungfrau, also known as the 'Top of the Europe', is a perfect fun family destination.

The Jungfrau Railway station is served by the cogwheel trains which run from Kleine Scheidegg. The cogwheel train travels  over the steep mountains  up to the Jungfrau.The fun and excitement starts as soon as you ride the cogwheel train. Now enjoy the breath taking view of Alps.
The credit for the Europe's highest-altitude cogwheel trains goes to Colonel Eduard Locher-Freuler , who was  a renowned engineer  and constructor of several railway bridges.
The spectacular train journey up to the top is an unparalleled experience. After the journey, disembark at the Jungfrau railway station situated at a height of about 11332 feet.

The underground Jungfrau Railway Station is situated below the Jungfraujoch col  and close to the summits of the Eiger, Jungfrau and Monchmountains. The facility of luggage lockers  is also available at the railway station.
The main complex is accessed from the railway platform where you enjoy the Jungfrau-Panorama, the history of Jungfrau railways and the Alpine Sensation . The complex has several restaurants,coffee bar and souvenir shops. If you want to relax, enjoy an authentic Swiss cuisine or Indian /Inter-continental lunch with champagne.
Now take the elevator to the Ice Palace and have a look of the exhibition of crystal -like sculptures such as  eagles and penguins etc.
The  lift takes the visitors up to the Sphinx terrace  at the height of 11716 feet which provides a  spectacular views over the Aletsch Glacier. The top of this complex also hosts a domed shaped Sphinx observatory well known for astronomical studies.
 All the fun and excitement at Jungfrau just did not stop here.
 Now it is time to experience the magic of mountain ,breath taking  Jungfrau peak and awesome Aletsch Glacier. At the ground level there are several places of adventure and  recreations where you can enjoy skiing,snowboarding which includes playing with the snow.

A PANORAMIC VIEW OF PARIS-

A PANORAMIC VIEW OF PARIS-

Paris is a very popular and preferred tourist destination in Europe. You will marvel at its absolute beauty and completely absorbed in its  history and culture. During our visit to Europe, I got an opportunity to discover Paris in three different ways- 

1- The Eiffel Tower provides a panoramic view of Paris. The Eiffel Tower is the tallest structure in Paris located in a area known as Champ de Mars. It is dedicated to Gustave Eiffel, the designer, engineer and architect of this tower. 
This tower is the most visited monument in whole of the Europe. It has three levels for visitors and Lifts are available to reach platforms.Take the lift all the way up to the 3rd level for some most spectacular views across Paris from the Paris sky line itself.At night the Eiffel Tower comes alive with a mesmerising light show.

2- Another great way to see the city is to cruise the river Seine. The cruise, while passing beneath the beautiful and majestic bridges, crosses UNESCO listed river banks along many wonderful historic sites. The river bank is dotted with several picturesque monument like Eiffel Tower, Museo d’Orsay and  Notre Dane Cathedral etc. You will find it  an unforgettable and unique experience.
Visitors may find the cruise equipped with the facility of audio commentary on board in their favourite languages. A river cruise at evening is the best way to experience the seine.You will definitely admire the beauty  of  Pont Neuf,the famous bridge with a total of twelve arches
3-Tourists may also discover the city with "Pass City Tour" or having an exclusive "Private Tour of Paris".The numerous of Paris monuments and beautiful buildings in the city having splendid structures are breath taking. 

Museum du-Louvre,having a glass pyramid in its courtyard, is a world famous collections of numerous landmark artworks including the Mona Lisa painting and  Venus de Milo. It was a palace which was later converted into  an art museum.
Notre-Dame Cathedral,a masterpiece of Gothic architecture is  another place to visit.It is still a operating church and a religious centre in Paris.This cathedral having two 226 ft. towers is majestically located in a small island  within Paris.
With  a beautiful historical architecture, Arc de Triomphe is a land mark  of imperial France under Napoleon.The monument is engraved  with the names of several dedicated generals of Napoleon's regime. History is literally etched everywhere in this monument. 
La Sainte-Chapelle is an another beautiful cathedral decorated with some of the thirteenth century splendid stain glass. 
Opera Garnier  is a magnificent architectural treasure  with a seating capacity of 2200 people. It still hosts ballets and classical dance performances.
