Switzerland is a varied mix of French, German and Italian cultures, and is also a mix of beautiful nature (including the Swiss Alps and the Lake Geneva) and almost just as great and orderly towns.Switzerland is a small, landlocked, multi-cultural, multi-lingual country that shares its borders with Austria, France, Germany, Italy and the tiny Principality of Liechtenstein. Its central location in the heart of Europe makes it quickly and easily accessible from major European cities. Switzerland is best known for its banks, watch industry, cheese, chocolate, utterly reliable railway system and of course its scenic beauty. The mountains provide diversity and charm with a climate ranging from Mediterranean in lakeside towns to Arctic on snow-capped peaks.
