Switzerland is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Switzerland is located in Central Europe, east of France and north of Italy. When you say Switzerland, you immediately think about irresistible chocolate, yodelling peasants, cuckoo clocks and the vigorous Swiss banking system. Switzerland skiing resorts are known world wide for their well-maintained slopes, their comfort and their beautiful locations. The most important sources of profit for Switzerland come from the banking industry and from tourism. Switzerland is one of the world’s most important financial centres because of the security provided by the Swiss banks. The tourism is blooming in Switzerland due to the large number of tourists attracted to this country each year by the beautiful landscape of the Alps. The Alps Mountains occupy large regions in the central and southern parts of Switzerland.
Switzerland is one of the safest places in the world because of its famous neutrality. The lack of conflicts in this country allowed the development of the Swiss economy. As a result, by the 19th century, Switzerland was the most industrialized country in the world.
What truly makes Switzerland unique is the harmonious combination of three different cultures on its territory: the French, German and Italian culture. This mix of cultures and customs gives Switzerland its specific and unique flavour.
