Once said to be the ultimate "neutral," Switzerland is an introverted mastermind tucked away among vast mountains, quietly perfecting the art of watchmaking, yodeling, and clandestine banking. Whether you're in it for the cheese, looking to strike a secret deal or merely want to snap photos of the postcard-perfect towns, you'll find that - like its famed pocket knives - Switzerland has more facets than you can count. By the way, don't let its size fool you! This little nation is like a chocolate box - small, refined, and brimming with delightful surprises at every turn.
