The city of Berne, is the capital city and offers some of the finest dining in the country, as well as some intriguing sites. From the church tower of The Münster Cathedral you can see great views of Bern and the surrounding countryside. Outside the country's parliament, the Bundeshhaus, there's a beautiful series of fountains, representing the states of Switzerland.
Geneva is home to dozens of international organisations. It's worth visiting the Old Town, but for an unusual trip, drop in on CERN, the European organisation for nuclear research. Deep below the ground, scientists are trying to unravel the mysteries of the Universe by smashing atoms together at incredible speeds. There's an excellent visitors centre here.
Being a mountainous country there are so many opportunities for outdoor activities. If you're into skiing there are many swish and stylish ski resorts such as Verbier and St Moritz.
