Bordered by Germany, France, Italy, Austria, and Lichtenstein, Switzerland
is a landlocked country most well known for its natural beauty, including
mountains, lakes, glaciers, and waterfalls. The nation is truly multicultural,
with four national languages (German, French, Italian, and Romansch) spoken
by a total of just over seven million inhabitants.
Famed for its political neutrality, low crime rate, and cleanliness, Switzerland has a strong tourism industry as well as a lively culture of outdoor recreation (especially popular are skiing and hiking in the Alps). To complement its natural beauty and pastoral appeal, the country also has a pulsing urban life in such cities as Geneva, Zurich, and Bern. Crisp mountains and breath-taking scenery, a friendly populace, and vibrant cities make Switzerland a fascinating and invigorating place to visit.
