In Switzerland, you can buy a ticket for 30 Swiss Fr (about $26) and you can take trains, bus, and all the public transportation for free for that day. It only works for 1 day. So if you happen to take the train from one city to another, this is probably cheaper than to buy the train ticket itself. However, these one-day tickets are popular and you have to buy them in advance.

I would add Lucern with with 13th century bridge. Fribourg is a very nice place to relax and it is less crowded. Bern is definitely good to visit for a day. There are some other less popular places that aren’t tourist crowded. Oberland and Interlaken are some of them. This place has one of the best scenes I’ve seen. You can visit the waterfall, then take the cable car down to the river and take the ferry. Or you can take the cable car up the mountain to see a lake up there and experience a drop of about 20 degrees C. I was there in May and was walking in my t shirt in summer-like weather. I took the cable 1500m up the mountain, it was snowing. A change from summer to winter in minutes. Definitely worth a visit.
