Located slap bang in the centre of Europe, Switzerland has swallowed the influences of its main neighbours Germany, France, and Italy to become a uniquely European country, where the best qualities of its neighbours have blended as sweetly as chocolate to create a nation with a culture that is all its own.
All the clichés you can think of about Switzerland are probably true: they yodel; they make fantastic clocks and watches; there are some very wealthy banks; and the chocolate industry is at least the best on this planet. The Swiss though are not the dull race of neutrals and bureaucrats they are often portrayed as; the people of Switzerland make up a nation that has carved out its own culture, which is every bit as lively, varied and pleasant as the ruggedly beautiful country it inhabits.
You can get cheap deals on flights to many Swiss Cities, including Zurich and Geneva throughout the year, and with good value accommodation on offer all over the country, Switzerland is an ideal choice for either a family skiing holiday at one of the glitzy resorts, or a romantic break in one of the beautiful cities.
Throughout the country, there are myriad attractions and sites of interest, from the beautiful scenery and striking architecture, to the small villages, where you are practically assured a friendly welcome, and the cosmopolitan cities, where you can find plenty to keep you occupied, whether you want to shop, or see some culture in one of the excellent theatres and galleries.
