Switzerland, despite its rather modest size, accommodates all kinds of natural and architectural curiosities, and its people have perfectly preserved them for tourists from all over the world.

The capital of Switzerland is simultaneously business and charming Bern, which is worth seeing the Old City, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List: the most beautiful in Switzerland is the Bernese Cathedral, the oldest in the city of the French Church, as well as the unique Kornhouse (granary), not representing a cultural center with remarkable interiors

Geneva, located at the foot of the Alps, deservedly bears the title "Capital of the World" - it is the center of world business activity and the headquarters of the UN. In addition to the Palais des Nations, we recommend you to see the ancient St. Peter's Cathedral, the Tavel's House, which now houses the museum, the Russian church with a rich collection of spiritual art, the Bet Jakob synagogue, the Reformation Wall, the world's highest fountain on Lake Geneva, the Flower Clock in the English Park and the stunning Geneva Botanical Garden.

The glory of Swiss watchmakers represents the largest dial in Europe on the tower of St. Peter's in Zurich. Noteworthy is the most interesting medieval building of the city center, and especially the Church of the Blessed Virgin, whose stained windows in the gothic windows are made by Mark Chagall.

Perhaps the most beloved city in Switzerland is Lucerne, reflected in the waters of the Firvaldshtetsky Lake surrounded by snow-capped peaks. The fortress wall of the 15th century, the Benedictine monastery, the baroque Jesuit church, the Hofkirche, the wooden Lucerne chapel-bridge, the Wagner villa and other original buildings of the old part of the city are perfectly preserved here.
