Switzerland is location in the center of Western Europe its capital is Berne. Border by with Germany, France, Italy, Austria and the tiny principality of Liechtenstein. The languages in Switzerland are German, Italian and French. Also Switzerland is a Nation whit 7.274.524 of population and the most people is historically Catholic and Protestant.

The weather is amazing because in this country you can find the four stations; although Switzerland is a relatively small country, the most important features are the high-lands; The most famous mountain is the Matterhorn (4,478 m) in Valais and Pennine Alps bordering Italy. The highest mountain, the Dufourspitze or Monte Rosa, is very close to the Matterhorn. For me the mostt important places to visit are: Geneva (Region): Named "Capital of peace" because is the European seat of the ONU. With their humanitarian tradition, their international organizations and their atmosphere of great large city are “smaller metropolis of the world”. Wharves, strolls in the lake, parks, animated elegant alleys of the urban helmet and stores invite to give a return by the city.

In the last years Switzerland has been growing economically and culturally. Economically because has a prosperous and stable modern market economy, with a nominal per capita that is higher than those of the big western European economies, this tanks to big companies as Nestle, UBS AG, Credit Suisse, Novartis, ABB, and Swatch. Culturally because the culture of Switzerland is influenced by its neighbours and its international sentiment, but over the years a distinctive culture with some regional differences and an independent streak has developed. In particular, French-speaking regions have tended to orient themselves slightly more on French culture and tend to be more pro EU. In general, the Swiss are known for their long standing humanitarian tradition as Switzerland is the birth place of the Red Cross Movement and hosts the United Nations Human Rights Council. Swiss German speaking areas may perhaps be seen more oriented on German culture and can be more traditionalist and neutralist, and Italian-speaking areas can have more of an Italian culture.

If you want a natural place with a lot of pure air you need to visit Switzerland because the high-lands offer to you healthy environment, also I recommend that the people visit this country because in this place you can fin a humanitarian tradition because in this place many countries have signed peace agreements.
