Holidays in Switzerland and Flights to Switzerland:

When you think of Switzerland, it probably conjures up pictures of wooden chalets, alpine mountains and skiing resorts. However, there is a different side to Switzerland which includes world-class art, fine cuisine and wonderful cities.

Switzerland lies in the heart of Europe, landlocked between the Alps and the Jura mountains. Bordered to the west by France, the north by Germany, the east by Austria and Liechtenstein and lastly to the south by Italy.

Shopping in Switzerland:
In the large cities, you will find the most rewarding shopping to be in the older areas whhere you will see narrow streets which are crammed with interesting specialist stores and galleries. Take a traditional souvenir home, such as a watch or chocolates. Porcelain, lace, wine and cheese are also popular purchases. How about a Swiss army knife which are popular and useful. Another place where you might find suitable gifts include any branch of Schweizer Haimatwerk which is a traditional chain of Swiss handicraft stores.

Eating out in Switzerland:
Although there is no national dish of Switzerland, each region has a different menu. In French Switzerland you will find fondue, German Swiss restaurants have rosti [hash brown potatoes] are a favourite, Italian Swiss have pizzerias. Surprisingly, for a country which has no connection to the sea, seafood is very popular.

The Language of Switzerland:
Switzerland uses 4 languages - German, French, Italian and Romansch - which are spoken in different parts of Switzerland, although German is the language of the majority.
