Switzerland has the densest rail network in the world, filled to the brim with both standard and narrow gauge lines. Zürich's main station is a hotspot for railfans, with passenger trains arriving and departing by the minute. Another key gateway to the Swiss rail scene is the [[Glacier Express]], a direct 8-hour train service between Zermatt and St. Moritz that snakes through the [[Alps]], though not as fast as a typical express train. Switzerland has its quirks in [[aviation]] too; it used to have the shortest international flight in the world (an 8-minute hop to [[Germany]]), but it's been cancelled. | Switzerland has the densest rail network in the world, filled to the brim with both standard and narrow gauge lines.
