I tried to summarize my 10 favorite photo spots in Switzerland. This choice was not easy for me to make. Almost all towns offer various great photo locations. Therefore, this list does not claim to be complete: On the one hand, I have certainly forgotten to write down some of the top photo spots, on the other hand, I have by no means visited all the places worth seeing in my country.

Aletsch Glacier, Valais

I start this list of Swiss photo spots with the longest and largest glacier in the Alps, the Aletsch Glacier in the canton of Valais. The last time I visited this beautiful landscape was on a 2-day hike from Bettmeralp to Riederalp.

The 23 km long Aletsch Glacier looks like a huge ice stream and has shaped and shaped a large part of the Swiss Alps. This sea of ice, the unique structure of the glacier and the view of the Valais Alps is a great photo motif for all lovers of mountain landscapes.

Verzasca Valley, Ticino

The Verzasca Valley in the canton of Ticino is a real tourist hotspot in the summer months. The emerald green color of the water invites visitors to take a refreshing dip during the hotter months. In addition, beautiful villages can be explored in this valley of Italian-speaking Switzerland, where you can enjoy delicious specialties such as osso bucco, risotto or polenta.

The magnificent colors of the water and the surrounding forests are also an ideal subject for photos in spring or autumn. Visiting this region in the shoulder season also has the advantage that the cooler temperatures are more pleasant for a hike and fewer people can be seen in the photos.

Aescher Inn, Appenzell

The Äscher inn in the canton of Appenzell made it onto the front page of “National Geographic” – and has been attracting tourists from near and far ever since. The inn built in the rock is truly a photo spot worth seeing in Eastern Switzerland and should not be missing from this list. The typical Swiss wooden chalet offers a great contrast to the massive rock of the mountain; a great photo subject.

In addition, after eating delicious Röstis from the inn, you can comfortably hike on to the beautiful Seealpsee.

Grosser Muristalden, Bern

The ascent right at the Bärenpark in the direction of the Schosshale offers a great view of Bern’s old town and is an ideal photo spot, especially for a beautiful sunset atmosphere or for nocturnal panorama shots. The view from the Grosser Muristalden is a little less known than that from the Rosengarten, and is therefore less crowded with tourists.

Rhine Falls, Schaffhausen

A tourist highlight in north-eastern Switzerland is the Rhine Falls near Neuhausen, in the canton of Schaffhausen. This huge waterfall is one of the three largest in Europe and is a great photo spot in Switzerland – even if the camera might get wet. Even if you don’t have your camera with you, be sure to take your iPhone out of your pocket and take some HEIC photos. At home, you can edit the photo, bringing it to the ideal. And, if necessary, convert heic to jpg and send it to friends.

Fronalpstock, Schwyz

I got to know and enjoy this view over Lake Lucerne on my tightrope walk between Klingenstock and Fronalpstock. The family-friendly hike along the entire ridge above Stoos in the canton of Schwyz offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains – especially from the panorama platform on the Fronalpstock.

Crestasee, Graubünden

Whether in a sweltering hot sun or with heavy rainfall – the Crestasee in the Flimserwald is worth a visit in every season and in every weather. In this corner of Graubünden there is a uniquely relaxing calm, this mountain lake is an oasis of inspiration for my soul.

So it is also clear that Lake Cresta is one of my favorite photo spots in Switzerland. Even during my winter holidays in Flims-Laax-Falera, I always find the opportunity to stop by Lake Cresta to switch off and take a few photos.

Chillon Castle, Vaud

Chillon Castle is located on Lac Léman, also known as Lake Geneva, near the city of Montreux. This medieval moated castle in Romanesque style is very photogenic, especially at dusk or when the water surface is foggy. The mountain panorama of the French Alps also offers a great background; as are the passing boats of the shipping company. If you also like medieval subjects, you shouldn’t miss the museum inside the castle!

Rigi Kulm, Zug

The excursion mountain Rigi-Kulm is a local recreation area at the foot of Lake Zug. Affectionately known as the “Queen of the Mountains”, it is a great photo location at any time of the year; I was particularly impressed by the view of Lake Zug. It is also worth hiking up the Rigi at night to photograph the starry sky and enjoy the morning atmosphere at sunrise over the Swiss Mittelland.

Basel Fair

The exhibition and congress center in the city of Basel, in north-western Switzerland, is an architectural masterpiece and literally invites all street photography fans to take pictures. The futuristic building covers a busy tram stop so that the various protagonists of urban life can be photographed in the best possible light. I could linger here for hours with my camera in hand!

I have now tried to present you with 10 quite different photo locations from my country. And I tried to cover as many different regions of Switzerland as possible. It is an entirely subjective and incomplete choice. Which photo spots are missing in your opinion? Write me in the comments!

What sights are there in Bern? What are the best bars in the city of Bern for a cozy summer evening? Which events shouldn’t you miss in Bern in the summer months? Let the following 10 tips inspire you and visit the city of Bern during the summer of 2023.

1. Swim in the Aare

We’ll probably start this list with the greatest classic for a successful summer excursion in the Swiss capital: swimming in the Aare is almost a national sport for the people of Bern. The green-blue river is simply the best refreshment on hot days.

But be careful, swimming in the Aare is not without its dangers. Only experienced swimmers should venture into the cool water. Observe the SLRG swimming rules and take a look at the Aare map to familiarize yourself with the route.

The most popular swimming routes for me are between Untertorbrücke, Altenbergsteg to the outdoor pool in Lorraine; or from the Eichholz campsite to the Marzili outdoor pool. If you prefer a longer swim route, we recommend the Aare loop near Bremgarten – including a final beer in the Felsenau brewery.

2. Gelateria di Berna

Whether in the Breitenrain (Scheibenstrasse 18), in the Marzili (Marzilistrasse 32), in the Länggasse (Mittelstrasse 15), in the Mattenhof (Pestalozzistrasse 1) or simply by the ice cream cart in the Dälholzli zoo: the Gelateria di Berna is omnipresent with its ice creams in the city. And this notoriety is quite legitimate, because their different types of ice cream and selection of flavors are just great.

Whether raspberry-ginger or pineapple-basil, caramel fleur de sel or marzipan poppy seeds – everyone with a sweet tooth will find their happiness at Gelateria di Berna. My friend Mia (founder of MiConv) thinks Gelateria di Berna has the most delicious ice cream in the world. And I absolutely agree!

3. Rosengarten Picnic with a view of Bern’s old town

Whether for brunch, lunch or just a small snack at the after-work aperitif: In the large park of the Rosengarten you can sit comfortably on the lawn at any time of the day and enjoy the picnic you have brought with you. It is also worthwhile from here to enjoy the sunset with the best view of Bern’s old town. No wonder the rose garden is a popular attraction in the city of Bern.

4. Cooling water feature on the Bundesplatz in Bern

The water feature at Bundesplatz has become one of Bern’s major tourist attractions. The 26 water fountains, which symbolize the 26 cantons of the Swiss Confederation, pump water from 2000 full bathtubs through the nozzles every day – sometimes in time, sometimes synchronously, sometimes randomly. The water splashes at different heights and cools passers-by of all generations from the summer temperatures.

5. Bären city festival in the old town of Bern

Bern city festival will take place in June. The alleys and squares between the Bern train station and the Nydeggbrücke are transformed into a motley festival mile for everyone to celebrate, dance and enjoy together.

6. Day trip to Lake Wohlen

Lake Wohlen is just outside the city of Bern. This is not a lake in the classic sense, but a 12 km long and max. 700 wide and quiet part of the Aare river – where the river hardly flows anymore. Here you can enjoy the sun in peace on a day trip and cool off in the water.

The Wohlensee is also very popular with rowers and stand-up paddlers: during the summer season you can rent inflatable SUPs right at Camping Eymatt.

7. Chilling at the market

My favorite retreat on Saturday mornings is the weekly market on Münstergasse, in the middle of Bern’s old town. Here you will find fresh vegetables, fruit, bread, meat, fish, coffee and other specialties from the region. I particularly like the family atmosphere at the “Münschtergass-Märit”, the relaxed atmosphere despite the usual hustle and bustle, observing people and their actions. I can therefore highly recommend visiting the weekly market on a summer Saturday.

8. Aarebar on Viktoriaplatz

A unique pop-up at the entrance to Bern’s popular Breitenrain district – that’s the Aarebar on Viktoriaplatz. At the former planning location of the current large construction site of “dr nöi Breitsch”, coffee and cocktails can now be drunk. An ideal place for your after-work aperitif.

9. Gurten Festival Bern

After a two-year break, Bern’s highlight of the year is finally taking place again: year after year, the Gurten Festival attracts thousands of visitors to Bern’s local mountain and delivers a great music festival from Wednesday evening to Saturday night. This year’s headliners are Black Eyed Peas, The Chemical Brothers, Erykah Badu or Kraftklub – but as a Bernese it’s not so much about the music, it’s more about the celebrations.

10. Aare boat from Thun to Bern

Another typical summer activity for the people of Bern is floating down the Aare in a rubber boat. Hardly any other river is used more often with inflatable boats than the Aare between Thun and Bern. Most Aare boaters are out and about between May and September – depending on the air and water temperature and the amount of water discharged from the Aare. The 27 km stretch from Thun to Bern takes up to 3 hours, depending on the flow of water.

What are you going to do in the city of Bern this summer? Are there any other ideas for activities in or around the city of Bern that are missing from this list? Then let me know in the comments below! I wish you a nice, intensive, sunny, sociable and warm summer in the city of Bern.

Welcome to a world where travel meets imagination, where history leaps out of the textbook and takes on a life of its own, where your kids don’t just visit iconic locations – they live them. From the windswept heights of the Great Wall of China to the mysterious corridors of the Tower of London, the world becomes a stage for epic Nerf battles. In this transformative guide, we will take you through a journey of discovery, learning, and excitement, sharing how a simple Nerf gun can turn a routine family vacation into an unforgettable adventure.

But before we charge headlong into the fray, we must remember that every great battle needs a strategy. There are rules to follow, permissions to seek, and safety guidelines to adhere to, all of which ensures our fun does not encroach on the enjoyment of others or the sanctity of these historical sites. So buckle up, adventurers, because we’re about to turn your family trips into a captivating saga of historical Nerf battles. Ready? Let’s dive into the history, one dart at a time.

Why Choose a Nerf Gun for Travel Entertainment?

For those who might not know, Nerf guns are safe, foam-based toy guns. But what makes them perfect travel companions?

• Portability: Nerf guns are light and easy to carry, making them the perfect addition to your travel bag.
• Safety: Designed for play, these toys are safe for both indoor and outdoor activities.
• Variety: There is a wide range of Nerf guns available, from simple single-shot models to battery-powered automatics, ensuring a suitable option for every child’s preference.

How to Use Nerf Guns to Make Travel Engaging

Let’s dive into how you can turn a historical visit into a thrilling Nerf battle while still imparting educational value.

1. Setting the Scene

While visiting a historical site, explain to your kids the events that happened there. This could be anything from the signing of a significant treaty, a famous battle, or even the everyday life of people from a different time period. Use these stories to set the scene for your upcoming Nerf battle.

2. Role Play

Once the scene is set, assign roles to each participant based on the story. Perhaps one child is the defender of the castle, while another is the invader. You can even take it a step further by using the characters or figures from the story.

3. Setting the Rules

Next, establish the rules of the game. Make sure these are suitable for the location (taking into account other visitors, of course) and the age of the participants. The beauty of a Nerf battle is that it can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be.

Examples of Nerf Battles in Iconic Locations

To get you started, here are some ideas:

• The Great Wall of China: Defend the wall from invaders, just like the ancient Chinese warriors.
• The Tower of London: Stage a jailbreak or a defense of the Crown Jewels.
• Machu Picchu: Uncover hidden treasures while defending against rival explorers.
• The Alamo: Stage your own mini-battle at this iconic Texas site, having one side defend the Alamo and the other trying to take it over.
• The Colosseum: Let the kids become Roman gladiators, battling it out in the grand arena.
• The Pyramids of Giza: Unleash your inner Indiana Jones as you protect ancient treasures from nefarious tomb raiders.

Safety and Permissions: Playing Responsibly

As fun and engaging as Nerf battles can be, it’s crucial to consider safety and permissions before you start.

1. Permission to Play

Playing with Nerf guns in public spaces, particularly in historical sites, may require prior approval from the relevant authorities. Always ensure to:

• Contact the site management beforehand and ask if such activities are permitted.
• Comply with the location’s rules and restrictions. These may vary from one site to another and can include designated play areas, specific times for play, and more.
• Respect the location and other visitors. Remember, these sites are a piece of our history and deserve our respect.

2. Rules for Safe Play

When it comes to playing with Nerf guns, it’s important to follow a few key safety guidelines:

• Eye protection: While Nerf darts are made of soft foam, they can still cause discomfort if they hit sensitive areas, like the eyes. It’s a good idea to wear protective glasses during the game.
• Playing area: Make sure your playing area is clear of bystanders, particularly younger children or the elderly, who might get hurt accidentally.
• Ammo recovery: Nerf darts are small and could pose a choking hazard for young children or wildlife. Make sure to pick up all darts after the game.
• Follow the rules: The rules of the game are set for everyone’s safety. Make sure all players understand and agree to the rules before starting the game.

Bottom Line

Traveling is more than just ticking locations off a list, it’s about making memories, discovering new cultures, and learning history firsthand. For children, however, this exciting journey of discovery can sometimes become a monotonous drill. That’s where the humble Nerf gun steps in, turning passive learning into an active, engaging, and unforgettable adventure.

Through the lens of epic Nerf battles in iconic locations, history leaps off the pages and takes a tangible form, transforming children from mere spectators to active participants. These imaginative battles not only make history exciting but also promote the developmental benefits of play. As we’ve explored, it’s important to choose the right Nerf gun model for travel, one that aligns with the age and preferences of your child.

However, amidst all this excitement, we must remember to respect the venues that host our adventures. Always seek the necessary permissions, adhere to location-specific rules, and practice safe play. This ensures that our fun doesn’t infringe upon the enjoyment of others or compromise the integrity of these historical sites. After all, these locations are shared spaces, they are pieces of our collective history, and deserve to be treated with respect.

So the next time you’re packing for a family vacation, throw in a Nerf gun or two. Encourage your children to step into the shoes of historical figures, defend ancient castles, or unearth long-lost treasures. Turn history lessons into thrilling adventures, and watch as their eyes light up with excitement and curiosity.

In the grand scheme of your family trips, let Nerf battles be the catapult that launches your children into the heart of history. After all, what’s a better way to learn than to play? Safe travels, responsible battles, and unforgettable adventures to you all!

And once you start filling the RV with all your belongings, it quickly becomes cramped and cluttered. If you’re planning a road trip in an RV, use this guide to help you pack efficiently and avoid common mistakes.

How do you know what to pack? And how do you fit everything in without creating a cluttered mess? Fear not! We’re here to help. In this blog post, we will walk you through the basics of packing your RV for travel. Additionally, we will also provide some useful tips on how to optimize your RV’s power usage and recommend the best RV battery monitors to ensure you never run out of power during your trip.

By following our tips, you’ll be able to create a well-organized and functional space that will make your next road trip a breeze!

Why the Proper Loading and Packing Matter?

RV travel is a great way to see the country and spend time with family and friends. However, it is important to pack your RV properly to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip.

Here are a few tips on how to pack an RV for travel:

• Pack heavier items in the bottom of the RV. This will help keep the RV balanced and stable on the road;
• Be sure to secure all loose items inside the RV so they don’t shift or slide around while you are driving. This includes putting away all dishes, glasses, and food items;
• Make sure your propane tanks are turned off and securely fastened before driving;
• Pack essential items like bedding, towels, and clothes in an easily accessible location;

The appliances, slide rooms, engine, generator, and water tanks are usually the heaviest items in a travel unit so weighing these items will let you know which axles are carrying the most weight. This way you can pack lighter where the weight is concentrated and heavier where it isn’t. Additionally, packing light items high up and heavy items lower down will also be helpful.

How to Pack Your RV For a Camping Trip?

1) Documents and Important Information

• Gather all of your documents such as your registration, proof of insurance, and a map of the area. It is also important to have an emergency plan in case you need to evacuate quickly;
• Make sure you know where all of your important documents are stored in the RV;
• Keep a list of phone numbers for emergency services, tow companies, and roadside assistance;

2) Kitchen Essentials

Refrigerator

One of the most important appliances in your RV is the refrigerator. You’ll want to make sure that you pack it with all of the food and drinks that you’ll need for your trip.

Here are a few tips for packing your refrigerator:

• Pack perishable items like dairy, meat, and produce in coolers with ice packs;
• Store non-perishable items like canned goods and dry goods in airtight containers;
• Use space wisely by storing smaller items in the door compartments;

Food

One of the most important things to consider when packing your RV for travel is food. You will need to make sure that you have enough food to last you for the duration of your trip. If you are traveling with a family, you will need to make sure that there is enough food for everyone. There are a few different ways that you can store food in your RV, such as in coolers or pantries.

Be sure to pack all the food and beverages you’ll need for your trip, including non-perishable items, canned goods, spices, condiments, coffee, tea, and more. It’s also a good idea to bring along some snacks and easy-to-prepare meals in case you don’t feel like cooking one night or get stuck on the road longer than anticipated.

Outdoor Cooking

One of the great things about RV travel is being able to cook your meals outdoors. However, this also means that you need to be more careful about food safety.

Here are a few tips for packing your RV kitchen for safe and delicious outdoor cooking:

• Make sure to pack your grill and any other cooking equipment you’ll need;
• If you plan on doing any fishing, pack a small cooler for your catch;
• And don’t forget the marshmallows! Roasting them over the campfire is one of the best parts of RVing;
• If you have any special dietary needs, be sure to pack enough of the right food and snacks to last your entire trip;
• If you’re traveling with small children, it’s always a good idea to have some easy-to-prepare meals on hand, just in case;

Cookware and Utensils

When packing your RV for travel, be sure to pack all the essential cookware and utensils you’ll need to prepare meals on the road. These items include pots and pans, plates and bowls, silverware, cooking utensils, and more. If you’re traveling with a large group, it’s also a good idea to pack extra cookware and utensils to accommodate everyone.

To save space in your RV, consider investing in collapsible cookware and/or nesting dishes. These items can be easily stored when not in use and will free up valuable space in your kitchen cabinets or drawers. Plastic dinnerware is also a good option for RV travel as it’s lightweight and unbreakable.

Instant Pot

If you love to cook while traveling, then you’ll definitely want to bring along an instant pot. This handy appliance can be used to cook a variety of meals, including soups, stews, rice dishes, and more. Plus, it’s great for making quick and easy meals when you’re short on time. Just add your ingredients to the pot, set the timer, and let the instant pot do its magic.

Fewer Seasonings

When packing your spices and seasonings, try to go light on the amount you bring. After all, you can always buy more if you need it. Plus, many stores now sell individual packets of spices, which are perfect for traveling. This way, you can just grab what you need without having to lug around a large container of each spice.

The Right Dish Soap

One thing that’s often overlooked when packing for an RV trip is dish soap. But it’s actually a very important item to pack, especially if you plan on doing any cooking while on the road. Be sure to pack a small bottle of dish soap so you can wash your dishes after every meal. Trust us, you’ll be glad you did!

Paper Towel Holder Stand

This is one of those things that you don’t realize how useful it is until you have it. A paper towel holder stand allows you to put your paper towels on the counter instead of in a drawer. You can also use it to hold other things like spices or Tupperware lids. It doesn’t take up much space and it’s very handy.

Water

Water is the most important thing you need to pack for your RV trip. You should pack enough water for drinking, cooking, and cleaning. It’s a good idea to pack extra in case of emergencies.

Cleaning Supplies

You’ll need to pack cleaning supplies for your RV trip. This includes things like soap, shampoo, towels, sponges, and trash bags. You may also want to pack a broom and dustpan.

Hygiene and Health Items

You’ll want to make sure you have all of your hygiene and health items packed and ready to go before you hit the road. This includes things like toilet paper, soap, shampoo, toothpaste, bug spray, etc. You should also pack any medications you might need, as well as a first-aid kit.

3) Electronics

Adapters and Chargers

If you’re like most people, you probably rely on your electronics to stay entertained and connected while on the road. Be sure to pack all the necessary adapters and chargers for your devices.

A power strip can also be handy for charging multiple devices at once. And don’t forget your camera! Traveling is a great time to document all your adventures with photos and videos.

Lighting

RVs can be notoriously dark, so it’s a good idea to pack some extra lighting. Portable lamps are great for reading or playing games in the evening. And if you’re planning on doing any cooking while on your trip, make sure to bring along a flashlight or two for those late-night trips to the grocery store.

Heavy Duty Extension Cords

If you’re planning on using any appliances while on your trip, be sure to pack some heavy-duty extension cords. Many RVs have limited outlets, so it’s important to be able to make the most of the ones you do have. And if you’re traveling with young children, consider packing a night light or two to help them feel more comfortable in unfamiliar surroundings.

Generator

If you’re traveling in an RV, chances are you’ll need a generator at some point. Whether it’s for powering your lights or charging your devices, a generator can be a lifesaver. Be sure to pack one that’s the right size for your needs, and don’t forget the gas!

4) Clothing and Linens

Hiking Clothes/Warm Layers

• A good pair of hiking boots or shoes;
• Warm layers like a fleece or sweater;
• A rain jacket;
• Hat and gloves;

For colder weather camping, you might also want to pack:

• Thermal underwear;
• Socks;
• Snow pants;

Packing for different climates will obviously require different items, so just be sure to check the weather before you leave! Regardless of the climate, always remember to pack extra clothes in case of emergencies. You can never have too many socks.

Swimsuits

If you’re planning on doing any swimming while on your trip (in a lake, river, or pool), pack at least one swimsuit for each person. You might also want to pack towels, sunscreen, beach toys, and floats/rafts.

5) RV Camping Gear

Headlamps

Headlamps are essential for any camping trip, but they are especially important when camping in an RV. They allow you to see in the dark and make things easier when setting up camp at night. It’s also a good idea to bring along a few extra batteries just in case. You never know when you might need them!

Hammocks

Hammocks are great for camping in an RV because they take up very little space and can be set up just about anywhere. They are perfect for relaxing after a long day of hiking or exploring. Be sure to bring along some extra rope or string just in case you need it.

Fishing Gear

If you plan on doing any fishing while you are camping in your RV, then you will need to make sure you have all the necessary gear. This includes a fishing rod, reel, bait, and tackle. You may also want to bring along a fish finder if you have one.

RV Mat

An RV mat is a must-have if you plan on spending any time outside your RV. They are great for picnicking, sunbathing, or just relaxing in the shade. They also help keep your RV clean by keeping dirt and debris off of the floor.

6) Tools You Need to Have in the RV

Small Tool Kit

• An adjustable wrench for tightening gas and water connections;
• A hammer for pounding in tent stakes;
• Pliers for adjusting the brakes on your trailer or RV;
• A screwdriver set (flathead and Phillips);
• Electrical tape;
• Duct tape;
• Zip ties;

Car Repair Gear

You’ll want to make sure you have all the basic gear for car repair while on the road. This includes a come-along, jumper cables, an air compressor, and a few tools. It’s also a good idea to invest in some roadside assistance, just in case. If you plan on bringing a chainsaw with you on your trip, don’t forget to pack the best 2 stroke oil for chainsaw as well, to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Duct Tape

Duct tape is one of those things that you always want to have on hand, but never seem to have when you need it. So make sure to pack a good amount of duct tape before setting off on your RV adventure. You can use it for everything from patching up holes in your RV to fixing a broken chair.

Gloves

One of the most important things to remember when packing for an RV trip is gloves. Gloves are essential for keeping your hands warm and protected from the elements, and they can also be used for cooking, cleaning, and other tasks around the campsite. Pack a pair of gloves for each member of your family, and make sure to pack extras in case you lose a pair or two along the way.

8) Packing for Kids

Assuming you’re traveling with young children, it’s important to pack items that will keep them entertained during the trip. Games, books, and toys are all great options.

It’s also a good idea to pack snacks and drinks that they can easily access.

Lastly, if you’re traveling with infants or toddlers, be sure to pack plenty of diapers and wipes.

RV Packing Tips For Beginners

Make a List of Necessary Items Based on Daily Activities

The first step is to make a list of items you will need for your daily activities. This list should include items such as clothes, toiletries, food, and any other items you may need on a daily basis. Once you have this list, you can start packing your RV.

One important tip is to pack heavier items in the bottom of the RV and lighter items towards the top. This will help keep your RV balanced and prevent it from tipping over while driving.

Another tip is to use space-saving bags for clothing and other items that can be compressed. These bags take up less space and can help you fit more into your RV.

Finally, be sure to secure all loose items before driving. This will prevent them from moving around and becoming damaged while you are on the road.

Plan Your Meals and Bring Food With You

One of the benefits of traveling in an RV is that you can bring your own food with you and cook your own meals. This can save you a lot of money, especially if you are traveling with a family. But it also means that you need to plan your meals ahead of time and make sure you have all the ingredients you need.

Another option is to stop at grocery stores along the way and stock up on easy-to-prepare foods like sandwiches, salads, and snacks. If you are planning to do this, be sure to map out where the nearest grocery store is to your route so you can easily find it when you need it.

Dump Tanks Early and Often

One of the least pleasant parts of RV travel is having to deal with the sewage. Most RVs have two tanks – one for fresh water and one for wastewater. You’ll need to empty the latter at regular intervals, or else you’ll be dealing with some pretty nasty smells (and possibly some leaks).

To avoid this, make sure to empty your wastewater tank as often as possible. A good rule of thumb is to do it every time you fill up your fresh water tank. This way, you’ll never have to deal with more sewage than necessary.

In addition, you should always keep an eye on your wastewater level gauges. If they start getting close to full, empty the tank even if you haven’t filled up the fresh water tank yet. Better to be safe than sorry!

FAQ

How do you pack an RV efficiently?

There are a few key things to keep in mind when packing an RV for travel:

• First, pack heavier items towards the front of the RV and lighter items towards the back. This will help keep the RV balanced and stable on the road;
• Second, make sure to secure all loose items so they don’t shift or slide around while driving;
• Third, be mindful of what you pack in terms of food and supplies. Make sure to have enough food and water for everyone on board, as well as any necessary medications or first-aid supplies; Finally, try to pack as efficiently as possible so you can maximize space and avoid having anything crammed into a small area;

What can you not take in an RV?

There are a few things you cannot take with you in an RV, such as:

• Pets that are not allowed in the RV park or campground;
• Items that are illegal in the state or country where you are traveling;
• Weapons of any kind, including firearms, knives, and pepper spray;
• Flammable liquids, such as gasoline, propane, and kerosene;
• Explosives, such as fireworks;

How do you pack clothes in an RV?

There are a few different ways that you can pack your clothes in an RV:

1. One way is to use vacuum-sealed bags. This will help to save space and keep your clothes from getting wrinkled. You can also roll your clothes instead of folding them, which will also help to save space;
2. Another option is to use storage cubes or bins to organize your clothes. This can make it easier to find what you need when you are on the road;

What toilet paper is safe for RV?

Some of the most notable RV-approved toilet papers that dissolve quickly are Thetford Quick Dissolve, Camco RV, Thetford Aqua-Soft, and Scott’s Rapidly Dissolving. While all these brands boast quick dissolution times, Scott’s claims to break down 4X faster than its competitors.

If you’re looking for an environmentally friendly option, then RVers have been known to use composting toilets. These toilets don’t require any water or chemicals and they break down human waste into a nutrient-rich soil amendment.

Where do you store dirty clothes in an RV?

One option is to use a laundry bag or hamper.

Another option is to use a small garbage can with a lid.

You can also simply put dirty clothes in a plastic grocery bag. If you have a lot of dirty clothes, you may want to consider doing laundry more often.

This will keep your living space cleaner and help you avoid having to store large amounts of dirty laundry.

How do I keep my RV fridge cool before the trip?

One of the most important things to do when packing an RV for travel is to make sure your fridge is properly cooled. You can do this by turning on the fridge a few days before you leave and stocking it with ice or frozen items. This will help keep everything cold during your travels.

Another tip for keeping your RV fridge cool is to pack it with heavier items towards the bottom and lighter items towards the top. This will help keep the weight evenly distributed and prevent items from shifting during travel.

Finally, be sure to pack plenty of ice or gel packs in your cooler so that you can keep food cold during long days on the road.

Can you run an RV air conditioner while driving?

Your RV’s generator may be used to power your RV’s rooftop air conditioner. As a result, you may operate your air conditioning while driving if your generator is operational. Just keep the capacity of your fuel tank in mind and turn off your AC before turning off your generator.

If you don’t have a generator, or if yours is not operational, then you’ll need to find other ways to keep cool while driving.

One option is to use an evaporative cooler, also known as a swamp cooler. These devices work by using evaporation to cool the air around them, and they can be very effective in dry climates.

Another option is to use window shades/screens on your RV’s windows. This will help keep the interior of your RV cooler by blocking out some of the sun’s heat.

Finally, you can always dress for the weather – wear light, loose-fitting clothing in hot weather and layers in cold weather. By taking these steps, you can help make your RV trip more comfortable for everyone involved.

What You Need to Know About RVing With Babies on Board

Pros of RVing With Babies

• You can take your home with you- complete with all of the baby’s gear, crib, toys, and clothes;
• It’s a great way to bond as a family and create lasting memories;
• You have the freedom to go where you want and when you want – no need to worry about finding a babysitter or packing up the car every time you want to go somewhere;

Cons of RVing With Babies

• It can be challenging to find places to stay that are baby-friendly (i.e., quiet, safe, and clean);
• You may have to forego some of the more “fun” activities that you would normally do while RVing, such as hiking or biking, in order to accommodate your little one;
• It can be difficult to get a good night’s sleep when you’re sharing a small space with a baby who is awake at all hours of the night;

Babyproofing an RV

It can be a difficult and time-consuming task, but it is definitely worth it in the end. By taking the time to babyproof your RV, you can ensure that your little one will be safe and sound while traveling. While standalone RVs with no onboard nursery are small enough to travel alone, you’ll need to select a secure place where your baby may sleep and explore when traveling with you on your RV excursions. Parents frequently provide much more area than needed for tiny children, so most RV cabins will be huge enough to house an infant or toddler. You’ll need to pick out a crib that’s appropriate for your RV’s space, which is good news because portable cribs are designed for families on the move. Check the size and dimensions of your crib area in an RV to see whether it will fit. When your kid begins crawling and walking, consider adding softer carpeting to your RV. Create barriers between yourself and areas you don’t want your baby to access, such as the rear compartment of a toy hauler Many RVs are already equipped with safety features that make them ideal for road trips with young children. Since RVs need to be secure while on the road, they often come with security latches, soft sides, and other features that echo babyproofing methods. Do a lap around the RV’s cabin to find any dangerous areas, especially if your child is mobile and curious. Use traditional babyproofing strategies to fill in any gaps where necessary.

Choose Infant And Toddler-Friendly RVs

Space

It is important when you have kids. You want an RV that is comfortable for everyone and has enough room for all of your things. Look for RVs with separate bedrooms, plenty of storage space, and a kitchen that is big enough to cook in. Some RVs even have play areas or special features for kids. If you can find one that has these features, it will make traveling with your little ones much easier. A few RV manufacturers specialize in making kid-friendly RVs. Do some research to find the perfect one for your family before you hit the road.

Functionality

An RV is really just a glorified van and it needs to function like one. You need to be able to cook, sleep, and live comfortably in your space. This means that you need to have a plan for where everything goes. You also need to be aware of the fact that you’ll be spending a lot of time in close quarters with your little one, so you’ll want to make sure that everything is as comfortable and safe as possible. Functionality is key when it comes to traveling in an RV with a baby. You need to have a plan for where everything goes and make sure that your space is comfortable and safe.

Storage

It is another important consideration when traveling with a baby in an RV. You will need somewhere to store all of the baby’s gear, as well as your own belongings. Many RVs have storage areas underneath the seats or in the back of the vehicle. If your RV doesn’t have a lot of storage, you may want to consider bringing along a trailer or storage container. When it comes to sleeping arrangements, you have a few options. You can either sleep in the same bed as your baby, or you can get a crib or bassinet for them to sleep in. If you’re worried about them rolling out of bed, you can put up a barrier around the edge of the bed using pillows or blankets. Alternatively, you can also sleep in separate beds.

Safety

It is another big concern when traveling with a baby in an RV. A few things you can do to help keep your little one safe while on the road:

• Make sure to secure all loose items in the RV so they can’t become projectiles if you hit a bump;
• Also, be aware of potential hazards like chemicals and open flames. Keep them out of reach or locked up to avoid accidents;
• And finally, don’t forget about car safety seats! They’re just as important in an RV as they are in a car (maybe even more so since there are more opportunities for bumps and jostling);

Essential RV Gear For Infants

Car Seat

The first thing you need to do when traveling in an RV with a baby is to make sure you have a car seat. You will want to bring your own car seat from home so that your baby is comfortable and safe while riding in the RV. Make sure to bring along the manual for the car seat so that you can properly install it in the RV.

Crib or Pack ‘n Play

A pack ‘n play or travel crib is an essential piece of gear for any RVing family with an infant. It provides a safe, comfortable place for your baby to sleep and play while on the road.

Baby monitor

A baby monitor is a great way to keep an eye on your little one while they are sleeping or playing in another room. This can be especially helpful if you need to take a shower or step outside for some fresh air.

Changing Bag

A changing bag is essential for any parent, whether you are traveling in an RV or not. It’s a great way to keep all of your baby’s changing supplies organized and within reach.

Toys and Books

Babies need stimulation, so be sure to pack a few favorite toys and books. A toy box or small bookcase can be a great way to keep everything tidy and within reach.

First-Aid Kit

A first-aid kit is always a good idea, but it’s especially important when you’re traveling. Be sure to include any medications your baby takes, as well as supplies for minor scrapes and bruises.

Baby Carriers

RV travel with a baby can be made much easier with the use of a baby carrier. Baby carriers allow you to have your hands free while still keeping your baby close to you. There are many different types of baby carriers available on the market, so it is important to choose one that will work well for both you and your baby. Some things to consider when choosing a baby carrier for RV travel include:

• The type of carrier (e.g. wrap, sling, structured backpack);
• The weight and size limits of the carrier;
• How comfortable the carrier is for both you and your baby;
• How easy the carrier is to use;

Once you have chosen a suitable carrier, it is important to make sure that you use it correctly. Incorrect use of a baby carrier can result in serious injury to both you and your baby. If you are unsure about how to use your carrier, please consult the instructions that came with it or seek professional advice.

Bathtub

If you’re traveling with a baby, you’ll definitely want to have a plan for how you’re going to bathe them. Bath time is already stressful enough without having to worry about where you’re going to do it! Our advice is to either find an RV park that has showers with changing tables or to bring along a portable bathtub. If you go the portable bathtub route, we recommend getting one that’s inflatable. That way, you can easily store it away when you’re not using it. And, if you have a larger RV, you might even be able to fit a regular-size tub in there! Just make sure you have a plan for how you’re going to drain it afterward.

High Chair

A portable high chair is another must-have for families traveling in an RV with an infant. It allows your little one to sit safely at the table during meal times.

Tips for RVing with a Baby

Before You Hit the Road

Find An RV That Can Secure A Car Seat

The last thing you want is an RV that doesn’t have a place to secure a car seat. Make sure that the model you choose has a seating area that can accommodate a car seat without issue. You’ll also want to make sure that the area is comfortable for your little one, with plenty of room to move around and stretch out.

Consider The Weather

If you’re traveling with an infant, you’ll want to take the weather into consideration. You may not be able to camp in extreme heat or cold, so plan your trip accordingly. You’ll also want to make sure you have plenty of blankets and warm clothing for your baby.

Plan Your Route Carefully

The first step to traveling in an RV with a baby is to plan your route carefully. You’ll want to take into account the weather, the terrain, and any other factors that could potentially impact your trip. For example, if you’re traveling in winter, you’ll want to make sure you have a clear route planned so you don’t run into any problems with snow or ice. If you’re traveling in an area with a lot of hills and mountains, you’ll need to be extra careful about planning your route so you don’t over-exert yourself or put too much strain on the engine. And if you’re traveling with young children, it’s always a good idea to plan your stops ahead of time so you can find places to stay that are child-friendly.

Choose Foldable, Stowable, Durable Gear

Once you’ve planned your route, it’s time to start packing for the trip. When you’re packing for an RV trip, there are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind:

• First, you’ll need to pack enough food and water for everyone on the trip;
• Second, you’ll need to pack bedding and towels for each person;
• Third, you should pack clothes for all types of weather conditions;
• And fourth, don’t forget to pack any necessary items for your babies, such as diapers, wipes, formula, and bottles;

Know When You Can Safely Travel

The age of your baby is one important factor to consider before you start traveling in an RV with them. You will want to wait until they are at least six months old before taking them on any long trips. This is because babies under six months old have not yet developed the necessary immunity to fight off illnesses while on the road. If you must travel with a younger baby, be sure to talk to your pediatrician first and get their approval.

Make Note Of Local Hospitals And Urgent Care Clinics

Another important factor to consider is your baby’s health. If your child has any medical conditions that could make travel more difficult, it might be best to wait until they are older or consult with their doctor beforehand. For example, if your child suffers from motion sickness, you might want to avoid long car rides or take breaks often. Similarly, if your baby has a heart condition, you’ll want to be aware of the nearest hospitals and urgent care clinics in case of an emergency.

On the Road

Naps Take The Highest Priority

Whether you’re driving or stopped for the night, your baby’s nap schedule should be your number one priority. A well-rested baby is a happy baby, and a happy baby makes RVing with infants so much easier. If you’re on the road, try to time your drives around your little one’s naps. If they usually sleep for two hours in the afternoon, plan to drive during that time. This way, they can snooze peacefully in their car seat while you focus on the road. And if you happen to get stuck in traffic or run into some other delays, your baby will already be sleeping soundly and won’t be as likely to get fussy. If you’re staying in one spot for a while, make sure your RV is set up in a way that promotes good napping. Blackout shades can help create a dark and cozy environment, and white noise can be soothing for both you and your baby. Again, their nap schedule should be your top priority, so do whatever you need to do to make sure they can get the rest they need.

Keep Milk And Snacks Handy

No matter how well you plan your RV trip with a baby, there will always be moments when your little one gets cranky. Be prepared for these hunger and thirst attacks by keeping milk and snacks close at hand. A small cooler can come in handy for storing things like yogurt, cheese sticks, and juice boxes. And don’t forget the wipes!

Wear Your Baby Properly

Wearing your baby is one of the best ways to travel with them in an RV. It frees up your hands so you can cook, clean, and move around easily. Plus, it allows your baby to feel close to you and stay warm. There are a few different ways to wear your baby. You can use a wrap, sling, or carrier. Whichever way you choose, make sure that you follow the instructions carefully. Another great tip for traveling with a baby in an RV is to bring along a portable crib or playpen. vThis will give your little one a safe place to sleep or play while you are on the road. Be sure to pack all of the bedding and toys that your child will need so they will be comfortable. Another essential for traveling with a baby in an RV is a changing station. This doesn’t have to be anything fancy; a simple diaper changing pad will do the trick. But it’s important to have a dedicated space for changing diapers, so you don’t have to worry about making a mess of your RV’s interior.

Go Out Early

This way, you can avoid the heat of the day and the crowds that come with it. Plus, your baby will be fresh and rested for a full day of exploring. Another advantage of getting out early is that you can beat the traffic. If you’re planning on visiting popular attractions, consider going first thing in the morning before everyone else arrives. You’ll have a much better experience and won’t have to deal with long lines or cranky children.

Use An iPhone App to Help Your Baby Fall Asleep

If you have an iPhone, there is an app that can help your baby fall asleep while traveling in an RV. The app is called “white noise”. It plays calming sounds that can help your baby relax and fall asleep.

FAQ

Where does a baby sleep in an RV?

Parents usually put their baby in the bed with them, but there are a few other options as well. Some people travel with portable cribs or pack-n-plays, others use RV bunk beds, and some build custom solutions like converting a closet into a sleeping nook. If you have an RV with a slide-out, you might be able to convert part of the living space into a bedroom for your little one. This can give them their own space and make nighttime feedings and changing easier. Another option is to bring along a small bassinet or travel bed that can be used both inside and outside of the RV. These are great because they’re lightweight and easy to set up, plus they give your baby a place to sleep that’s separate from your bed.

Where do you put an infant car seat in a motorhome?

The best place for an infant car seat is on the passenger side of the vehicle. This allows you to have easy access to your baby while driving. If possible, put the car seat in the middle of the RV so that it is not in the way of any cabinets or appliances. You may also want to consider putting a blanket over the car seat to protect your baby from the sun.

How do you babyproof an RV door?

There are a few things you can do to babyproof an RV door:

• You can purchase a door guard or latch that will prevent your child from opening the door;
• You can also keep the door locked when you are not in the RV;
• If you have an RV with a sliding door, you can install a lock on the inside of the door so your child cannot open it;
• Finally, you can teach your child not to play with the door and to stay away from it when it is open;

How do you keep a baby in a camper bunk?

A few things you can do to make sure your baby is comfortable and safe while traveling in an RV:

• First, bring along a crib or playpen for your baby to sleep in;
• You can also pack a few toys and books to keep your little one entertained;
• Finally, make sure to bring along plenty of diapers and wipes;

Finally, don’t forget to pack your bags! Italy is a country with a lot to offer, so you’ll want to make sure you bring everything you need to make the most of your trip.

A few essential items to pack include comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, and a bathing suit – just in case you decide to take a dip in one of the many beautiful lakes or rivers.

Lugano is nestled in a bay at the northern end of Lake Lugano, surrounded by mountains with beautiful panoramas and viewpoints. The closed for automobiles old city center, numerous buildings in the Italian, Lombard style, unique museums, mountains, lake and the dense calendar of events attracts travelers – for the enjoyment of picturesque views and a unique atmosphere. and what is called dolce far niente, that is pleasant doing nothing. Due to its mild climate, Lugano is especially popular with travelers in the spring, when the camellias bloom.

The city center with its Mediterranean-style squares, arcades and parks overgrown with subtropical plants (like the Civio Park on the lake shore) invites you to stroll around, soaking up the atmosphere of this resort. On the promenade along the lake are the Belvedere Gardens, where not only camellias and magnolias bloom, but many subtropical plants as well as the works of contemporary artists are on display.

Art connoisseurs come to the cities for the architecture and paintings – the exhibitions here are of a high level. The Museum of Fine Arts owns works by Klee, Javlensky, Renoir and Degas. In the last 50 years the whole Ticino region – and especially Lugano – has developed as important centers of modern architecture. The most famous representatives of the “Ticino School” are Luigi Snozzi and Mario Botta. The EFG Bank AG building on via Franchini, the Rancila Palace on via Pretorio and his own workshop are good examples of Botta’s work.

The two mountains closest to Lugano, San Salvatore and Mont Bré, close in on a fabulous panorama of the city, Lake Lugano and the Alpine meadows. From Mont Bré there is a hiking trail down to the town of Bré, where the typical old town center of Ticino has been preserved. Another popular route leads from San Salvatore down through the beautifully landscaped Carona to Lake Lugano in Morcot. And to return to Lugano, you can take the boat, which is the most beautiful and pleasant way to end the day. You can also take excursions to the fishing village of Gandria, up to Mount San Giorgio, or to the toy country “Switzerland in Miniature” in Melide.

Enjoy the Mediterranean warmth, palm trees and olive trees. If you really want to relax, just sit at a table in one of the outdoor cafes. That’s what everyone does here every day: food, fellowship and joie de vivre.

Lausanne is located in an extremely picturesque place. Not surprisingly, the International Olympic Committee was founded here in 1914. The city is built on three hills surrounded by vineyards, with Lake Geneva at its foot. The mountains on the opposite bank are the Savoy Alps in France. The beautiful old town is mostly closed to car traffic. Streets with cafes and boutiques offer a great opportunity to spend time in the medieval center.

Lausanne has been a diocesan city for a millennium: the cathedral, the most impressive Gothic building in Switzerland, towers over the Old City. The shopping streets can be found around the cathedral as well as in the coastal Uschi quarter. The metro, which is unique in Switzerland, connects the different parts of the city, making it easy to get to where you can walk along the steep slope above the lake.

Worth visiting are the parks, which house many Mediterranean plants, and the magnificent palace hotels, such as the Beau-Rivage Palace in Uchy and the Hotel de l’Angleterre, where Lord Byron once stayed. Gourmets will be able to try traditional Lausanne delicacies such as Papet Vaudois, a gratin of potatoes with onions and sausages. Incidentally, Master Chef Fred Giardet, recognized as Culinier of the Century by his own peers, has now retired and handed his scepter at the Hôtel de Ville to head chef Philippe Rochat.

Nor will cultural connoisseurs feel left out in Lausanne: the collection of marginal art (“Art Brut”) in Château Beaulieu, the Fondation l’Hermitage, the Elysée Museum dedicated to photography, the Smoking Pipes Museum and many others are definitely worth a visit. The theatrical and musical performances are also above reproach. And finally, Lausanne is the home of the world famous Béjart Ballet. Do not forget about Aquatis, the largest freshwater aquarium in Europe, a real living museum with large vivariums, as much as possible resembling the natural environment of animals.

“Olympic Capital” is the headquarters of the Olympic Committee as well as the Olympic Museum, the largest information center of the Olympic Games. Sports remain a priority in the life of the city. Examples include the Lausanne Marathon and the Athletissima, an international athletics competition.

Summer

As a cultural center and conference venue, Lausanne combines business and pleasure in a harmonious way. The picturesque Old Town, the Olympic Centre and the Uschi business district all contribute to the pride of the Lake Geneva region.

Conferences and congresses

Lausanne, the Olympic capital, is a center renowned for its educational and research facilities, and is an unmissable destination for business tourism. The cradle of the Olympic movement teems with activities, creating a unique environment where the worlds of sport, culture, technology, medical research and innovation all come together. In terms of nature, the city opens out onto one of Switzerland’s most beautiful landscapes, with stunning panoramic views of Lake Geneva and the Alps. This makes it an ideal starting point for any excursion or incentive activity. A small city, and one of the greenest in Europe, Lausanne was named “best small city in the world” (fewer than 200,000 inhabitants) by the prestigious Monocle magazine.
