Switzerland lies in the heart of
Europe and is better known for its delicious chocolates and
numerous ski resorts and is lesser known for the great diversity of
culture, landscapes and climates. Switzerland is a relatively small
country yet it still manages to amaze visitors with its
breathtaking waterfalls and charming villages.
Being in the centre of Europe the surrounding countries have naturally had a huge influence on Switzerland. The three main languages spoken here are Italian, French and German. The mixture of cultures has created a country that does not identify itself by having a common ethnic or linguistic identity, but rather the peoples foundations are on a common historical background with shared values.
