All my knowledge about Switzerland was limited to the phrase “the richest country in Europe”. I expected to see the population dressed in the latest collections of the leading fashion houses; executive luxury cars; at home - a flight of design ideas ... But everything is not quite right. The first thing you see when you arrive in any country is people. Swiss - what are they? These are people born with a calculator instead of a heart. They live by the rules, only by the rules. They are not interested in someone else's life until it causes inconvenience to their own and does not go beyond the scope of correctness. Example: we have an underground parking in our house, there is a place for a concierge car in the parking lot. One fine day, another car was parked at this place, very soon an inscription appeared on it: “This is a concierge place, please do not put a car on it!” When I pulled out of the parking lot again around lunchtime, the response was: “The concierge is a friend of mine and he let me park here.”
Since we are talking about a calculator, I’ll explain what it is: this is not Germany, where the bill in a restaurant is paid in half - everything is much worse ... Let’s say you moved to a Swiss: be prepared to pay half the rent, chip off on food, gasoline, etc. P. And, unfortunately, this is not a joke! Our friends live exactly like this: the girl moved to the young man’s apartment, which he rented for a year and a half!!!, immediately upon arrival she began to pay half the rent (she is also Swiss, so there were no indignant cries on this fact). But the worse thing is that now they have decided to disperse, and she did not warn of her departure in advance, so she must pay her share over the next 3 months, regardless of whether she lives there or not. At the same time, her salary is 5,000 francs, and his is 10,000. And for 2 months now they have been living together, sleeping in the same bed (there is no other there, but no one wants to go to the sofa) and quietly hate each other. He does not want to give in, and she does not want to pay for what she does not use ...
Apparently, the time has come to move on to the financial aspect of the issue of living in a “wonderful” country. First, let me explain what a franc is. A franc (CHF) is almost a dollar, a little more. The minimum salary is 3000 CHF per month. But even here there is a catch: if you are a man, then your salary will be 20-30% more than women's. The Swiss do not even hesitate to directly indicate this in job advertisements: a doctor is required, the salary for a woman is 8000 CHF, for a man -11000. There is no such thing as a work book here, so if you have a Gazprom director as a friend, you can safely say that you were his right hand and had a seven-figure salary. If this is confirmed upon request to Gazprom, your financial situation can go uphill dramatically :). Diplomas are another matter: no one here needs our excellent education, and if you do not have work experience in a field in which the Swiss need knowledge, get ready for problems. Diploma must be validated. To do this, there is a certain system by which the hours indicated in the diploma are calculated: an hour of study in the classroom, an hour at home. All the shortcomings must be taught. As far as I remember, our diplomas contain only classroom hours, so we are provided with another year or two trips to the local university (and this despite the fact that we study on Saturdays). A local university is an inexpensive thing, if it is not dedicated to the hotel business. Almost everywhere you can study in English. Of the worthy ones: hotel business schools in the Lake Geneva region (there are several of them), EPFL in Lausanne, Cambridge in Zurich.
Language schools are expensive (I paid 9000CHF for six months of French). It is better to come with at least a basic level of the local language in your luggage. It has the lowest VAT and income tax in Europe. What is strange, while food and clothing are more expensive than in neighboring countries. Fresh fish (perch, salmon) - 50-55 CHF / kg, meat (dressing) - 60-100 CHF / kg, many locals go once a week to Germany, Italy, France (whoever is closer) for groceries. The bill in a simple restaurant for two is from 100 francs, while forgetting about the flight of design ideas when building a building and decorating the interior, and if you are not very lucky, then for 40 francs there is a chance to get a freshly heated one! (and not cooked) a plate of pasta, and then get tea from a bag (it doesn’t happen otherwise) or hot chocolate from it. National cuisine - cheese. At the same time, the largest number of types of cheese is produced not here, but in France (about 800 versus 450). Cheese in the form of fondue, raclette, fried potatoes with cheese and bacon, fried potatoes with cheese and figs .... You begin to understand that Russian cuisine is not at all heavy.
Let's move on to my favorite: how are people dressed? Switzerland has no fashion, no style, despite having its own 2 ☺ fashion brands (Bally and Akris). Jeans, Converse sneakers or ankle boots / flat boots, long-sleeved T-shirt, down jacket - for both sexes up to 35 years old, no makeup for women under 50. Alternative: office suit, mid-heeled shoes - this is for bank employees. Women over 60 look very good: styling, manicure, makeup, expensive clothes and shoes. Apparently, by this age, the frugality of the Swiss will give way to their own common sense, and they begin to spend money. If you go to an expensive boutique and you look clearly under 40, be prepared that no one will approach you. Exception: if you are wearing too recognizable-branded dress / coat (tested on yourself). What struck me: the Swiss do not prepare for the evening out. Those. as they left in the morning, they went to a nightclub in the evening, they didn’t even put on brighter face and didn’t put on longer earrings. Today I went out for a walk in high-heeled ankle boots, tight leather trousers, a turtleneck and a fur vest... If you go out in Russia in an ultramicromini with a microtop, the reaction of others will be the same. Real estate is very expensive, which is the reason for the low percentage of private ownership. In many cases, a lifetime lease is almost cheaper than an acquisition. There are no beautiful buildings here, but there are interesting - old ones. Utility bills are a special article in the life of the Swiss. They are very careful to use a minimum of water, a minimum of electricity, a minimum of heating devices. Many families have wars at home due to the fact that one of the family members takes a shower every day, and if he washes in the bathroom, then the family from overspending has a seizure.
Washing machine. For us - a household item, for the Swiss - an unprecedented luxury. After living here for a year, I once got into a conversation with a Russian man who is renting a house in the suburbs with his family. He asked where I live, and when I said that in the city itself, the next question was: "Do you have a washing machine?" I answered in the affirmative, but in turn asked the question: "What, usually it is not?" As you may have guessed: yes, there are no cars in a standard situation in a Swiss apartment building. There is one for everyone on the ground floor or in the basement, next to it is a washing schedule with names and apartment numbers. (Does it remind anyone of a Soviet-style communal apartment?)
When I came from a walk with bulging eyes and told my husband about this news, he was not at all surprised, but simply sent me to the first floor to check what was behind the door opposite the elevator. Yes, I found the machine! and schedule! (I have almost never been on the first floor, since the parking lot is below.) It turns out that even in our and surrounding two-year-old houses, only penthouse tenants are happy owners of washing machines, the rest of the apartments are not wired - it's expensive. (How can something be expensive with such prices for real estate and rent?!) I began to ask my friends, and it turned out that no one has such an amazing thing ... Maybe, of course, I'm too squeamish, but if I didn't have my typewriter, I wouldn't be here either. Dry cleaning: want your stained item back? - Welcome to the average Swiss dry cleaner. The cleaning process takes place within a week, during which time some of the stains disappear, but the freshness of the product does not appear. There is no contract, where it will be written what was on the thing and what was not, whether it sat down with you or during cleaning, is not provided: rejoice that the dry cleaning process is more personal :). Parking: if you own an expensive car, sell it, take pity on the car, don't take it to Switzerland! This is an indicator of status, in Switzerland it is not (here new cars are mostly taken on a 5-year lease). In the French and Italian parts, contact parking rules everything, and parking spaces for the most part provide for parking only Mini or Smart, the rest are narrow. I did not know about this, and asked to put my six-month-old car on a ferry and send it to Germany. For a year it was scratched in all corners. I did not participate in this and did not see how it happens. But I saw what happens to others: evening, day of museums in Geneva, in the area of ​​​​gallery a cloud of people and a complete lack of parking spaces. In front of me, a woman on Smart saw the place. The place was obviously not enough even for her small car, but this did not bother the lady, and she began to violently push the cars in front and behind in order to squeeze her own. What surprised me: on the sidewalk, right next to it, there were about 15 people, but not one of them said: "What the hell is she doing?" I told her everything I thought, but she looked at me with such eyes, as if it was not she who was abnormal, but me. (Damn, where is the respect for other people's property?! If you want to park on something, practice with a pole...) The same when opening the exit doors: we hold them, gradually pushing / squeezing our body out / into the car, they don’t . They open the door with all proletarian consciousness: a dent as a gift to a neighbor is virtually guaranteed. Parking is 90% paid, for free you must be the owner of a special blue circle showing that you have the right to stand here and indicating the time at which you parked. In the city center, even with a blue circle, you have to change your parking spot every 6 hours, i.e. if you don’t have private parking nearby: parked in the evening, woke up at night, rearranged the car (or adjusted the time on the mug) and continue to sleep. Like? Yes, by the way, a car with Russian numbers can only be used for a year, then you either have to go through customs (this is expensive), or periodically take the car home. Visiting: Would you like to visit? You can't say, "I'm coming to you right now." You will not go anywhere, no one is waiting for you there. Inviting to your place (now/tomorrow) is also not an option, no one will come to you. Even if the Swiss has nothing to do, he will never admit it to you, he has a plan. If guests are not included in the plan, there will be no guests. My friend's friend couldn't stand life here because her husband had a notebook with plans for six months ahead. And neither a sick head, nor a lack of mood, nor unforeseen circumstances could make adjustments to this plan. To organize a company of ten people, you need to notify the participants 2 weeks in advance, and remind again after one. The same goes for birthdays. Birthday is generally a separate topic: you have a table, gifts from guests - forget it. If you organize a holiday in a restaurant, then the guests come without gifts and everyone pays for himself (I just can’t understand what a birthday is without gifts, and how you can invite people to pay for themselves). Bonus: the waiter will definitely put a candle in your dessert.
If you celebrate at home, then everything is simplified: if you didn’t forget to warn in advance, then they will come to you and bring wine / champagne, if you are a woman, then there is a chance (but there is no guarantee) that someone will remember about the flowers. If you still managed to get to visit the Swiss, then do not expect to see the Russian variety of food. An ordinary dinner will be very good, but you will not find any difference from it in a festive version. What they wrote about "blow your nose in Germany" is also applicable in Switzerland. One day we had guests. Including my husband's girlfriend, an extremely sweet girl. Husband made sushi. We sit and eat. She gets up from the table, goes for an extra napkin, comes back, sits down at the table and blows her nose. (What the hell is going back to the table if you left to take the unfortunate napkin??? Why not do it there????) At the exit from us, a nice young lady went into the toilet, and did everything she could instead of opening the window (we have there is a big window!) preferred to leave the toilet door open.... (No comment) The themes of home clothes and waste separation are the same throughout Europe: no home clothes and shoes (they can walk in boots all day), garbage must be sorted.
The medicine. Compulsory insurance: at least 3,500 francs per year, while the first 3,000 francs you pay yourself. In the future, 90% is worked out by the insurance company, 10% by you. In this case, all visits to the doctor go through a therapist: you make an appointment with a therapist (at least 2 weeks in advance), come, explain what hurts you. After that, the therapist, if deemed necessary, gives you a referral to a specialist. I somehow ended up in the hospital: during the 16 hours I was there, I had a tomography, a lumbar puncture (and I just needed magnetic resonance imaging), and they gave me 6 pills for a headache. Refused to take an injection. And they let me out without a diagnosis, with the comment that they signed me up for the second type of tomography in a month! I paid 1800 francs for this, and they didn’t even give me the results of the studies, saying that they could only be sent to the attending physician. I refused the second tomography, but still received a notification about the need for a visit with a time and date. I had to call and explain again that I would not come (in case of no-show, they still issue an invoice, as for the procedure done - 500 francs). Favorite Swiss tablet Dafalgan (analogous to our analgin) does not help from anything, but it is prescribed in 99% of cases. In general, local pharmacies are an amazing thing. Without a prescription, you actually won’t buy anything, I’m not talking about antibiotics, I’m also talking about allergy medicines, antiviral, contraceptive, etc. But there are a lot of cosmetics and perfumes in pharmacies: Dior, Chanel ...
Beauty Salons. If you decide to cut your hair, color, do a manicure, pedicure or use any of the hardware techniques, it’s better to learn how to do it yourself or endure it before visiting Russia. Here they do not know about many procedures, they have poor knowledge of the methods of hardware cosmetology, they do not know how to do manicures and pedicures, and even a straight haircut is aerobatics for them. When I came to my St. Petersburg hairdresser in January, the guy asked me: what did I do wrong to the one who cut my hair? why is everything in clumps? Another example: once I tried to do one hardware procedure, found the only place in all of Switzerland, tried to make an appointment, it turned out that the doctor conducting it first at a seminar in France, then in Germany, and the appointment can be made only after 3 weeks. I was glad, I decided that it must be a very advanced madam. Arrived in some wilderness. I go into the clinic, see a doctor and fall into a stupor: a 60-year-old overhydrol blonde with completely sun-dried skin, huge dumpling lips and hands of a garden digger with a complete absence of hair, but a mass of age spots. I begin to think quickly about how to sneak out of there and not offend anyone ... Luckily for me, it turns out that the device is broken! The comment was the following: "You know, we bought this device in France, but now for some reason it has stopped working, and we are waiting for the master." I decided to ask why this miracle machine came to them from France, if the Swiss themselves are engaged in its production? The answer killed me: "You understand, in Switzerland it is very expensive, but in France we found the opportunity to buy a used one !!!". I ran from there like a reindeer. Children. There are few children in Switzerland, there are no state programs to maintain the birth rate, rather the opposite. Decree - 6 months, 3 before delivery and three after. And who can leave a three-month-old baby? (Kindergarten like from 4 years old). In fact, there are no playgrounds. Children go to school by nine in the morning, study until twelve, then break for lunch until two (this means that someone has to pick up the child from school, take him home, feed him and bring him back). No one studies on the Sabbath either in schools or in institutes. Nobody knows that September 1 is a holiday, flowers are not given to local teachers and each school / institute has its own start date for classes. If any holiday falls on a weekend, there will be no transfer, as in Russia. You just won't get extra days off. On holidays, everything is closed: shops, many restaurants do not work. Everything is the same as on Sunday - the day of silence. On Sunday you have no right to make noise: vacuuming, mowing the lawn, your dog must not bark (this is not a joke). In some houses with poor soundproofing and unkind neighbors, people cannot take a shower after 11pm, let alone watch a movie at sufficient volume: they violate the law of silence, the neighbors call the police (nonsense! I'm lucky: it's not like that with us). In general, the Swiss are very strange for Russians: if they see that you see them, they smile, but as soon as they turn away, they immediately stop. If you are walking along a secluded street, in a forest or a park, people coming towards you will definitely greet you even though you have never seen each other before. The water here is very clean: they drink it from the tap and easily swim in the lake. Good ski resorts. In general, everyone has their own Switzerland: those who came from small Russian cities are delighted with cleanliness out of calmness, those who come from large ones are sad because of poor service and boredom. P.S. I almost forgot: want to eat at a restaurant? Lunch 12.00-14.00, dinner 17.00-22.00. Bon Appetit!

Ironically, the most beautiful cities are not always the most popular. The top 10 most popular cities in Switzerland are based on the number of tourists visiting each city. At the same time, popular resorts are not always so beautiful in terms of architecture.

- this is my personal selection that can help you plan your itinerary in Switzerland. Together with the 10 best tours in Switzerland, this will be a series must see in the country.

Top 10 most beautiful cities in Switzerland

1. Lucerne

The most beautiful city in Switzerland, Lucerne is adored by all tourists. A picturesque old town with painted houses awaits you, a majestic sculpture of a lion carved into a sheer rock, and, most importantly, a 14th-century covered wooden bridge stretching across the Reuss River, whose tower rises against the backdrop of the jagged peak of Mount Pilatus.

2. Zurich

Zurich is the gateway to Switzerland for many tourists. Maybe my opinion is biased (I live in Zurich and the site was originally created specifically for Zurich), but I personally adore the old city of Zurich, with its medieval houses that have survived even from the 13th century, with its Lindenhof hill, which offers a magnificent view of the towers of the Grossmünstra and Fraumünstra, to Lake Zurich and the ridge of the Alps on the horizon, and with its quiet craft streets of the Schipfe district, a shady paradise in the summer heat.

3. Stein am Rhein

Stein am Rhein is a tiny town near Lake Constance, in the north-east of Switzerland, captivates all tourists with its magnificently painted houses. The atmosphere here is especially fabulous around Christmas, when all this beauty is complemented by a decorated Christmas tree with lights.

4. Thun

6. Gruyere

Gruyere- a tiny medieval town located on a hill in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, not far from Friborg. Gruyères is famous all over the world for its cheese, and from an architectural point of view, it attracts with its charm of an ancient city that grew up near the castle of the Counts of Gruyeres. Gruyere Castle is one of the most popular in Switzerland. And the traditional ensemble is complemented by the fantastic museum of Giger's "Aliens" and a cafe-bar, made in the same style.

7. Appenzell

Appenzell- the capital of one of the most traditional cantons in Switzerland, where an open vote of residents is still held once a year in the central square. Appenzell will plunge you into the atmosphere of authentic Switzerland, the country of shepherds and farmers. And the bright colorful houses of Appenzell will cheer you up, especially after a glass of local Appenzell beer in one of the restaurants!

8. Zermatt

Zermatt- Terribly touristy place! The city consists of only hotels, and crowds of tourists never disappear here. But despite this, here you can see very characteristic houses, traditional for this area, built on piles and columns of stones. Well, numerous alpine chalets - here, if not a house, then everything is in the style of a chalet!

She always looks like she just came out with a sweet postcard: snow-capped Alps, picturesque meadows, azure lakes and bubbling mountain streams. Add to all this well-groomed European towns - why not an earthly paradise?

Lucerne

In the heart of the Alpine region, there is a town that is often called the most beautiful in Switzerland- Lucerne. Founded on the Royce River, the city is surrounded by snow-white peaks of the mountains, and on cozy streets there are houses skillfully decorated with frescoes. Taking a walk through the old Lucerne, founded by Benedictine monks in the 9th century, you must definitely reach the famous Kapellbrücke covered bridge, which was built in 1333 and is the oldest active wooden bridge in Europe.

Lake Leman and Lavaux Vineyards

Lake Geneva, otherwise called Lake Leman, located on the territory of Switzerland and France, can make an unforgettable impression on connoisseurs of natural beauty. In Switzerland, as you know, there is no sea, so the locals rest mainly on the coast of Lake Geneva - a kind of sea substitute for the Swiss. On the northern shore of Lake Leman, the crown of Alpine peaks with Mont Blanc in the middle is white, and on the south side of Lake Geneva, the terraced vineyards of Lavaux are spread. It is said that the grapes ripen here under the rays of three suns - under real sunlight, under the rays reflected from the surface of the water, and under the influence of heat accumulated between the stone partitions of the terraces.

Chillon Castle

The medieval castle on the shores of Lake Geneva seems to be built on water. In the former residence of the Dukes of Savoy, the original interior has been restored, and from the castle towers, breathtaking views of Lake Leman open up.

Old town of Bern

The tiny capital of Switzerland, Bern, is strikingly different from other metropolitan cities in Europe - the course of life here is very slow. Neat houses with red roofs are symmetrically located along the streets of the old city - a real urban idyll. Bern's symbol is a bear, so don't be surprised to stumble upon a few she-bears kept in a paddock on the outskirts of old Bern.

Interlaken

Another Swiss city surrounded by postcard landscapes is Interlaken, founded between two lakes at the foot of the Alps. The city itself, to be honest, does not have any special beauty, but the picturesque surroundings make up for all the shortcomings of Interlaken in full. There is more than one funicular here, which raises the guests of the city above the verdant meadows and the solid blue of the Swiss lakes - a stunning sight.

Zermatt

The city of Zermatt is located at the foot of the Matterhorn, which can be safely called one of the most popular attractions in Switzerland. In summer, mountain hikers come to Zermatt, and in winter it is quite a popular ski resort. Among other things, Zermatt is famous for its unusually clean air. For more than seven decades, this Swiss city has been banned from driving cars equipped with an internal combustion engine.

Bellinzona

In the south of the Alps, in the Italian part of Switzerland, is the town of Bellinzona, known as the “gateway to Italy”. Three castles located in the vicinity of Bellinzona are the main attraction of the Swiss town. The largest castle is Castelgrande, decorated with expressive crenellated walls from the 13th century. Opposite the castle of Castelgrande, aside, where the houses of the old town are clustered, the castles of Montebello and Sasso Corbaro proudly stand.

St. Gallen

Between Lake Constance and the Appenzell meadows is St. Gallen, famous for its pretty old town, in which almost every second house is decorated with a luxurious bay window. The library of the monastery of St. Gall has an impressive collection of handwritten and printed books. The oldest of them are over a thousand years old.

Rhine Falls

The roar of the Rhine Falls is heard, perhaps, even in Germany. The waterfall, 23 meters high and 150 meters wide, is located in the border town of Schaffhausen. In just one second, the most powerful waterfall drops down about 700,000 liters of water! You can admire the mighty Rhine Falls both from above and down to the river itself.
