Small, mountainous and prosperous, with a population of just seven million,
Switzerland is well-known for its enviable quality of life in a country that
ticks along like clockwork. Its products are sought after the world over,
from dangerously mouth-watering cheese and chocolate to luxurious watches
whose timekeeping is as sharp as a Swiss army knife, another popular export
from this clever little nation in the Alps.
Switzerland’s famed political neutrality and isolated location,
ring-fenced by mountains, have enabled it to play a secure but central role
in European affairs. These factors also gave rise to the coveted Swiss bank
account, whose secrecy, along with tax relief and what may be the safest
banks in the world, have made Zurich one of Europe’s major financial focal
point.

 Berne - Berne is an ideal departure point for many attractive excursion destinations, such as the Alpine resort of Zermatt, picturesque Lucerne, the Jungfraujoch (Europe’s highest-altitude railway station) and the lovely Lake Geneva region. But as Switzerland’s capital, our scenic city is also a major attraction in its own right. Visitors can’t resist the 6 kilometres of picturesque arcades, the medieval magic of our historic old town on the River Aare, the legendary Bearpits and all those beautiful boutiques. Berne has also succeeded in combining the traditional and the trendy when it comes to culture - for example, classical music, dialect rock, the late Gothic cathedral and the prestigious Paul Klee art collection. No wonder Berne was made the capital of Switzerland.

Switzerland may be neutral but it is certainly not
flavorless. The fusion of German, French and Italian ingredients has formed
a robust national culture, and the country's alpine landscapes have enough
zing to reinvigorate the most jaded traveler.Goethe summed up Switzerland succinctly as a combination of 'the colossal
and the well-ordered'. You can be sure that your trains and letters will be
on time. The tidy, just-so precision of Swiss towns is tempered by the lofty
splendor of the landscapes that surround them.
Switzerland conjures up a fair swag of clichés: irresistible chocolates,
yodeling Heidis, humorless bankers, international bureaucracies and an
orderly, anally-retentive and rather bland national persona. But Harry Lime
was wrong on more than one account when, in The Third Man, he said
500 years of Swiss democracy and peace had produced nothing more than the
cuckoo clock. For a start, the Germans invented this monstrous timepiece;
secondly, the Swiss, who are a brainy lot, have won more Nobel Prizes and
registered more patents per capita than any other nation on earth. |
