SwitzerlandEurope The Swiss Confederation is a small landlocked federal state in central Europe, with neighbours Germany, France, Italy, Austria and Liechtenstein. The country has a strong tradition of political and military neutrality, but also of international co-operation, as it is home to many international organisations. It is also known as Confoederation Helvetica (CH), Latin for Swiss Confederation.

About Wikipedia Disclaimers This information was correct in December 2005. E. & O.E. During 1978, my daughter, Sarolta and I spent some time travelling around Switzerland, visiting many cities and other attractions. We have enjoyed our stay. I have visited Switzerland before in 1978, so I had the opportunity to compare my previous observations. In 2004 Hui Chin and I revisited Switzerland twice and trully enjoyed it. List of photo pages
