Swiss Daily Scope is an independent, author-led blog focused on life in Switzerland — local culture, daily routines, useful tips, and community voices from Zürich, Basel, Lausanne, Geneva, and beyond.
We start by gathering ideas from readers and our own reporting calendar, then define the angle and sources.
We verify details with public records and on-the-ground conversations. When we cite data, we link to primary sources.
Clear headlines, helpful context, and accessible language — most stories are free to read, with some member-only deep dives.
When new facts emerge, we add notes and updates. Corrections are timestamped and placed directly in the article.
Stories, observations, and everyday snapshots from around the country.
The much-anticipated tram line extension toward Oerlikon began service two months ahead of schedule, improving access for commuters in the northern districts.
Lausanne’s weekend produce and crafts markets have seen rising footfall this autumn, with new booths focused on sustainable and regional goods drawing interest.
A pilot program starts next month to close key Bern streets to cars on Sundays, aiming to improve air quality and promote walking and cycling downtown.
Several public libraries in Basel and Geneva will now stay open until 10 PM on weekdays, following surveys that showed high demand among students and evening readers.
Swiss Daily Scope is reader-supported. We publish free stories, offer optional memberships in CHF for bonus pieces, and accept clearly labeled sponsorships. No pay-for-coverage.
Most articles stay free so anyone interested in Switzerland can read and share.
Longer explainers and behind-the-scenes posts are available to members.
One-time or recurring contributions help cover reporting trips and editing time.
Sponsored posts are marked and follow our guidelines. Editorial decisions remain independent.
