Stans
Switzerland
This little Swiss mountain town on the water in Central Switzerland, Stans serves as the capital of the canton of Nidwalden and supports a café and restaurant scene that holds a surprising number of options for its size, alongside an unusual concentration of historic churches. Scenic viewpoints are accessible in the surrounding mountain terrain, and the wider region is ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites.
