The geography of Switzerland is notable for its great diversity.
Switzerland’s three main geographical regions are the Jura,
Plateau and the Alps. Switzerland is densely populated, with an
average of 183 people per square kilometer. However, there are major
differences between the geographical regions. Switzerland borders
Germany to the north, France to the west, Italy to the south, and
Austria and Liechtenstein to the east.
Geneva is Switzerland's second-largest city, basking in the sunshine
of its peaceful setting on Lake Geneva's banks, this acclaimed neutral
territory displays an obvious self-confidence. It is in pristine
condition, clean, efficient and safe, yet spirited in its style and
love of adventure. The city is crowded with museums, has many
excellent cultural events, even more good restaurants, and is ideally
placed for quick hops to the Swiss and French Alps.
Zürich on the other hand, the formerly staid banking capital has
experienced such a creative explosion in recent years, and such a
mushrooming of innovative bars, restaurants and shops.
