Switzerland - Culture Smart!

The Essential Guide to Customs & Culture

Kendall Hunter


Switzerland

Set aside your preconceptions of postcard scenery, chocolate and cheese, faceless bankers, and spotless cities. The real Switzerland is anything but bland. This small, multilingual, and fiercely independent country at the heart of Europe is full of surprises.

Culture Smart! Switzerland reveals the human dimension of this enigmatic country. It provides an historical overview, explores Swiss values and attitudes, and looks at the cultural continuity of festivals and traditions. It will help you navigate your way through various aspects of Swiss life and society and reveal the warmth, decency, wit and intelligence that characterizes its inhabitants.

To the Point

The Swiss like to “say it like it is.” They don’t mince words and would never cushion constructive criticism with praise. To a foreigner, this can seem a bit harsh, but it is not meant to be taken personally.
