Switzerland:
If mountains had a home, it would be Switzerland! With 48 peaks soaring over 4,000 meters high, Switzerland enjoys top position in the European high summit league. Zurich is Switzerland`s largest city and the country`s leading business and financial center and considered one of Europe`s trendiest destinations. The French-speaking city of Geneva at Lake Geneva is home to the United Nations European headquarters, as well as a host of other major international organizations. Also on the lake is Lausanne, known for its cathedral and Olympic Museum, and Montreux, home of the summer jazz festival. Lucerne, on an idyllic lake surrounded by the Alps, is known for its medieval wooden bridge and it’s Water Tower. Basel is the northern gateway to Switzerland and is known as the cultural heart of the country, with nearly 30 museums, a vibrant art scene, and a marvellously preserved old town. Bern, the capital of Switzerland, is the home of the Swiss federal government and parliament. Switzerland is renowned for its enviable quality of life in a country that ticks along like clockwork. Its products are sought after the world over, from dangerously delicious 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. A stylish tourist destination it offers top ski resorts like Zermatt and celebrity-studded St Moritz, while the white peaks of mountains set against blue skies make a wonderful backdrop for summertime hiking. The ancient capital of Berne provides opportunities for sightseeing and elegant shopping, while nightlife can prove to be a lot of fun, too, since the Swiss like their food and folk music even in discotheques and nightclubs. The Swiss Alps have the highest peaks, the largest glaciers and the deepest valleys of any mountain chain in the world. And yet there is so much more beyond the mountains. In fact, there`s more to Switzerland than the beautiful chalets, world-renowned cheese and chocolates with clean, safe countryside. Switzerland is filled with adventure activities. This country is ideal for a vacation with picturesque scenery combined with Swiss efficiency. The trains really do run like a fine Swiss watch. People are very friendly and accommodating. The country is laid out in such a way that travel throughout, regardless of your method of transport, be it bike, feet or train, is seamless. This allows visitors to focus on activities and not logistics.
