Switzerland has four official languages: Italian, French, German and Romansh. People, in general, are fluent in at least two of them and most young people speak English. In the German part of Switzerland, people are more relaxed with those who do not speak German, which is different from the French part, which does not tolerate those who do not speak French very well. signs in at least two languages, if not three or four. Especially in the German part, each city has its own way of speaking or even its own dialect derived from German. A person from Soloturn speaks quite differently from a person from Bern, who in turn speaks differently from a person from Zürich. And everyone makes fun of each other's accents.

The same goes for watches and clothes. Be sure to buy small household items such as vegetable peelers or can openers. Of course, buy original utility knives.

Switzerland is a country that excels in the perfection of small things, making them according to its traditions. Especially, there are exceptional cheeses and the famous chocolates. In the part of French Switzerland, in the Gruyère region, you have authentic Gruyeres cheese, with a stronger flavor and much more marked than those made elsewhere. Also noteworthy is the alpenzeller cheese, with a strong color and flavor, quite greasy. In the Alps, a typical food called kaseschnitten, which is made from a slice of bread soaked in white wine with the eponymous cheese melted on top, served with a fried egg and strong dry white wine. In Zürich, be sure to visit the Sprüngli confectionery on Bahnhoffstrasse, considered by many to be 'the best in the world'. With this title, don't expect to pay low prices. Visiting the Biel-Biene region, near Bern, walk through the nearby wineries to Lake Biel, the Bielersee, where there are small restaurants serving fish caught in the lake itself.
