staying in Switzerland

We'll be a family of four going to Switzerland for three weeks. We'll be arriving in Zurich but want to visit Geneva. How long would you suggest spending in either place?

If you're staying in Switzerland for three weeks, I suggest that you get around in Switzerland by train and purchase the Swiss Rail Pass to save money. I assume is your first visit to Switzerland so I recommend staying a week in the Bernese Oberland region since this area boasts the most beautiful scenery in the country,and with cable cars, gondolas and mountain railways of offer, you'll have plenty of choices to soak in the views.

I also suggest including a trip to Locarno if it is possible. Stay there for 3 days and soak up the unique combination of Italian Swiss influences.

Actually, three days would be enough to cover a lot of the most popular spots in Geneva. But you might want to add a day or two to see other interesting areas.
