Located in central Europe, Switzerland is a mountainous country, home to numerous lakes, villages and the high peaks of the Alps. Its cities contain medieval quarters, with landmarks like capital Bern’s Zytglogge clock tower and Lucerne’s wooden chapel bridge.
Switzerland is world-renowned for many things, such as its ski resorts, hiking trails, Swiss watches and chocolate. The biggest attraction in Switzerland is by far the mountain ranges, where you can ski, snowboard, hike and cycle along the Swiss Alps.
There is no official Swiss language, although Switzerland does have four languages that are considered official; these are Swiss-German, French, Italian and Romansh. However, many Swiss people do speak English, especially in larger cities and tourist hot-spots.
