Living in Switzerland

Why Switzerland?

Centrally located Switzerland has at least four distinct personalities — one for each official language it speaks: German, French, Italian, and Romansh. Latin, Portuguese, and English also have their place. The stunning countryside, high quality of life, and top notch safety, healthcare, and infrastructure are big draws. People who don't like living in Switzerland say it's expensive, hard to make friends, and a bit boring and rigid. Folks who love it say, "More cheese & chocolate for us!"
