| No work on Sunday, Funday |
There are many things that are not permitted on Sundays here in Switzerland. They include:
- vacuuming
- Laundry
- Running a Dishwasher
- Mowing your lawn
- Washing your car
- Pulling weeds in your garden
- Pretty much all work whatsoever
As a result, most stores and businesses are closed on Sunday. What are you supposed to do on Sundays in Switzerland? Here’s a list:
- Hike (one of the most quintessentially Swiss activities)
- Ski (the other one)
- Boat
- Bike
- Have a drink at a cafe (the drink is often alcoholic), after church or otherwise
- Going to church not required or encouraged, but permitted for individuals to choose
- Spend time with your family
- Watch a movie
- Listen to music
- Enjoy a nice meal
- Enjoy the weather
- Enjoy not working
As an American, this is a very foreign concept. The up side, it is remarkably easy to get used to.
