Switzerland is a small landlocked country that is located in the heart of Europe. Its area is about 15,940 square miles and it has a population of about 7.5 million. The country is divided into three topographical regions: the Alps, the Middle land or Plateau, and the Jura. Switzerland is bordered by Germany in the north, Austria in the east, Italy in the south, and France in the west. Therefore, three European cultures meet in Switzerland: the French, the Italian, and the German-speaking region.

Switzerland is most famous for its financial institutions, cheeses and chocolate, watch industry, and scenery. Switzerland also has a great network of public transportation.
