Switzerland

Sophisticated postcard prettiness. And cheese.

Nestled in the heart of the Alps, Switzerland is a landlocked country bordered by France, Italy, Austria and Liechtenstein. Switzerland consists of 26 cantons, and was founded in 1291, making it one of the oldest countries in Europe.

The main reasons to visit Switzerland are its natural beauty, its cities, and its winter sports. In the Swiss Alps, visitors can find some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, with towering mountains, pristine lakes, and picturesque villages. The main cities in Switzerland are Zurich, Geneva, and Basel. These cities are known for their sophistication, culture, and nightlife. Zurich is also a major financial center, while Geneva is the headquarters of many international organizations, such as the United Nations.

Switzerland is also well known for its delicious chocolate, and the Swiss cuisine is characterized by its simplicity. Some of the most popular Swiss dishes are Swiss cheese, fondue, and rösti. Swiss cheese is one of the most famous cheeses in the world, and it comes in many different varieties, such as Emmental, Gruyère, and Appenzeller. Fondue is a dish of melted cheese and wine, usually served with bread. Rösti is a dish of fried potatoes, typically served with bacon and eggs.
