Attractions and Sightseeing Tours Switzerland

Switzerland located in central Europe, east of France, north of Italy. The Helvetic Confederation, is an attractive country made up 23 cantons. Many contrasts - even paradoxes - stem from the diversity of its inhabitants, languages and religions.

Switzerland's independence and neutrality have long been honored by the major European powers and Switzerland was not involved in either of the two World Wars.

The political and economic integration of Europe over the past half century, as well as Switzerland's role in many UN and international organizations, may be rendering obsolete the country's concern for neutrality.

The country is a small European country known for its beautiful, snow-capped mountains and freedom-loving people. The Alps and the Jura Mountains cover more than half of Switzerland.

But most of the Swiss people live on a plateau that extends across the middle of the country between the two mountain ranges. In this region are most of Switzerland's industries and its richest farmlands. Switzerland's capital, Bern, and largest city, Zurich, are also there.
