Sweet spots in Switzerland to visit, explore, experience

When you hear “Switzerland,” you may think of chocolate, cheese, watches, army knives and the Alps. Switzerland is home to more than 8 million people and is a fantastic vacation destination to many more. Three years ago, I got to visit my older sister, who is currently studying in Zurich. She showed me some of the major attractions back then, and now, after living in Switzerland for a few years, my sister has found more favorites and sweet spots in Switzerland. I asked her a few questions on her favorite places and recommendations around Switzerland so that when you get a chance to visit, you have an idea of what to do.What is special about Switzerland?People often know Switzerland for its nature, especially the Alps mountains, and winter sports. There’s a lot to enjoy in the country, and being in the middle of Europe, you can easily access nearby countries. Switzerland is also known for having one of the highest standards of living. The people here value work-life balance, ensuring time for family, leisure and outdoor activities outside of work. Despite having a small population of 8.5 million, Switzerland has a high GDP, and while the cost of living is high, wages are also high. People in Switzerland speak four main languages: German (with a Swiss dialect), French, Italian and Romansh. However, you will be able to get by with English in most cities (although it may be harder in French-speaking areas).
