                           Zürich 

   We want to suggest you Zürich, one of the beautiful cities in the world!

               Occupying a central position at the heart of Europe, the Greater Zürich Area is one of the world's leading financial centers. Low taxes, a highly qualified workforce, renowned education and research institutes, and an exceptional quality of life are what make this location stand out.

-Zürich is a prominent educational center;
-It is home to over fifty museums and a mountain of galleries;

-It is home to the headquarters and research centers of international companies such as Google, IBM and Microsoft;

-There are no such things as a national motto, a national flower or a national animal in Switzerland. But the “Edelweiss” has the status of an inofficial national flower.

-There were well-known personalities in Zürich, such as James Joyce, Richard Wagner, Goethe, Mozart and even Casanova were drawn to Zürich to enjoy the pleasures of this cultural centre and gateway to the Alps.                                    Zürich is a safe, stable place to live.                                                                          ... and living in Zürich is just great!

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever

Small and white
Clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever

-It’s quite interesting! But I have no much money to save in Swiss banks.                                    I know one Swiss proverb: “If the mountains had a motherland,                                         it would be Switzerland”.  I want to see mountains, to enjoy nature.

- OK. We can suggest you the Alps.                                

                      The Alps

                           Welcome to this picturesque place!

    -  The Swiss Alps are known throughout the world for their fantastic skiing conditions and scenery. When planning a trip to the Swiss Alps, you have several different destinations at your disposal, and one of the most beautiful is Wallis.

- Wallis (also known as Valais) is home to the largest glacier in the Alps, the Grosser Aletsh glacier, which has become one of the areas main attractions. In addition

to the glacier, the area offers fantastic hiking trails and easy accessibility for trips to other countries. Wallis is located in the southern part of Switzerland, on the border of France and Italy. Due to its proximity to the two countries, Wallis is a melting pot of culture.

            -  The best way of seeing the Swiss Alps is with one of the scenic trains that frequent the main alpine destinations in Switzerland. Scenic Trains (Glacier Express)
is a panoramic trip through the Alpine heartland of Switzerland, and a memorable way

of traveling from the eastern to the western Swiss Alps.

            - My granny is a traveler. She’d like to go with me.   

            -The Glacier Express is absolutely perfect for travel with an elderly person. A window seat brings the beautiful landscape so close that you can almost touch it. The train doesn't travel at great speed, so each vista, each turn; each angle can be appreciated with great delight.

            - Therefore, there is no noise and no bad smells! It’s more leisurely walking and cable-car rides to see the Matterhorn close up. The Matterhorn is the most famous mountain (4,478 m) in Valais and Pennine Alps bordering Italy. It looks like a pyramid.

    -I’ll go to the Alps.

         Switzerland is a fairy-tale with its dwarfs,                                                                              treasures and unforgettable mountains,

Its cheese and chocolates, famous watches and

safe banks. It’s a dream, a present, a souvenir.

           From souvenirs to more souvenirs

A lonely room and empty chair
Another day so hard to bear
The things around me that I see remind me of
The past and how it all used to be

From souvenirs to more souvenirs I live
With days gone by when our hearts had all to give
From souvenirs to more souvenirs I live
With dreams you left behind
I'll keep on turning in my mind

There'll never be another you
No one will share the worlds we knew
And now that loneliness has come to take your place
I close my eyes and see your face

From souvenirs to more souvenirs I live
With days gone by when our hearts had all to give
From souvenirs to more souvenirs I live
With dreams you left behind
I'll keep on turning in my mind..
