Switzerland

Switzerland occupies the heart of the Alps, where river valleys, glacial lakes, and high peaks define both the scenery and the pace of life. Four national languages and four distinct cultural zones coexist within a country smaller than many individual American states. Precision, neutrality, and an exceptional public transport network are as much part of daily life as the mountains themselves.

About Switzerland

Overview

Landlocked in central Europe and bordered by France, Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, and Italy, Switzerland organises itself around 26 cantons with considerable regional autonomy. Bern serves as the federal capital, though Zurich and Geneva carry greater international weight. German, French, Italian, and Romansh hold official status; the Swiss franc remains the currency despite the country's position at the centre of the eurozone.
