The verdict

For most travellers, the choice comes down to what kind of week you're really after. Singapore leans city + family, while Switzerland leans mountain + nature. Singapore wins on value (~$170/day mid-range vs $270/day in Switzerland), but Switzerland tends to deliver a more polished, higher-spend experience. Neither is wrong — pick by personality, not by ranking.
