87 Switzerland

Switzerland is a Central European alpine country bordered by France, Germany, Italy, Austria, and Liechtenstein. It is one of the world's most familiar travel destinations for mountains, lakes, scenic trains, and high-quality infrastructure. Travel across the country is very reliable and comfortable, especially for first-time independent travelers. Costs are generally higher than nearby destinations, so route and budget planning are important for longer stays.
