A combination of French, German and Italian influences come together to give Switzerland its unique multicultural character. Its two main cities, Zurich and Geneva, are vibrant, cosmopolitan metropolises. Zurich has been compared with Berlin for its creative and innovative cultural scene, while Geneva has a distinctly international flavor, as a third of the population hails from other countries. The majestic Alpine vistas for which Switzerland is famous will not disappoint the visitor; photographs simply don’t do them justice.
