| | | Vote for the most beautiful Swiss town.
I came across this while surfing - http://www.schoenste-stadt.ch/voting.php
Unfortunately, it has a list of Swiss towns to select from which didn't include the two towns that are the most beautiful I have visited (so far) - Stein-am-Rhein and Scuol.
Some of the towns on the list are down right ugly, it's just the surrounding mountains that are beautiful.
So where would you vote for?

Perhaps Stein-am-Rhein and Scuol don't count as towns. It looks more like a list of most of the towns of a certain size to me. Or maybe they just asked round the office and made a list of all the towns which anyone came up with.  | | This user would like to thank Longbyt for this useful post: | |

That's the reason why quite a few beautiful places are not listed. You can vote for Buchs SG, but Werdenberg, just around the corner, historically a genuine town and one of the cutest places in the country, is missing. Neuhausen, ha ha, but Diessenhofen is missing.
Just boycot that nonsense.
