The diversity of the landlocked,
mountainous country is the essence of Switzerland
and gives the country its unique identity. Still, it
is best known for its financial institutions, fine
cheeses and chocolate, watch making industry, for
its scenery and an excellent network of public
traffic. Switzerland borders France in the West,
Germany in the north, Austria and the principality
of Liechtenstein in the east and Italy in the south.
Switzerland was founded more than 700 years ago.
Long years of peace have left their mark on our
heritage, history and culture.
