You'll find great byrek Bern and Geneva: City stops with old towns Glacier Express and Bernina Express: Famous scenic rail routes Must-try foods: Fondue and raclette Rösti: Fried grated potato Zürcher Geschnetzeltes: Veal in cream sauce Swiss chocolate and Birchermüesli Fun facts: Switzerland has four national languages: German, French, Italian and Romansh. It has stayed neutral in conflicts for centuries. The Gotthard Base Tunnel is the world's longest railway tunnel. They have enough bunkers for all their citizens - built during WW2. Logistics: Best time: June to September for hiking; December to March for skiing Currency: Swiss franc (CHF); prices are high Getting around: The Swiss Travel Pass covers trains, buses and many boats Tipping: Service is included; round up Entry: Schengen Area but outside the EU Must-learn phrases: Hello: Grüezi (German) / Bonjour / Buongiorno Please: Bitte / S'il vous plaît Thank you: Merci / Danke Goodbye: Uf Wiederluege Cheers!: Prost! / Santé! / Salute!
