Travel Agent Inc. - Switzerland

Switzerland may be neutral but it is certainly not flavorless. The fusion of German, French, and Italian ingredients has formed a robust national culture, and the country's alpine landscapes will refresh and reinvigorate even the most jaded traveller.

Goethe summed up Switzerland succinctly as a combination of 'the colossal and the well-ordered'. You can be sure that your trains and letters will be on time. The tidy, just-so precision of Swiss towns is tempered by the lofty splendor of the landscapes that surround them.

Switzerland conjures up a fair swag of clichés: irresistible chocolates, yodelling Heidis, humorless bankers, international bureaucracies, and an orderly, anally-retentive and rather bland national persona. But Harry Lime was wrong on more than one account when, in The Third Man, he said 500 years of Swiss democracy and peace had produced nothing more than the cuckoo clock. For a start, the Germans invented this monstrous timepiece; secondly, the Swiss, who are a brainy lot, have won more Nobel Prizes and registered more patents per capita than any other nation on earth.
