Switzerland is world-famous for so many things: mountainous landscapes, first-class banking institutions, high-quality luxury goods. This European country's self-discipline manifests itself in so many ways, including the efficiency in which businesses and services operate, and many of the locals' adherence to traditional customs and way of life.

The convenience and the benefits of living in Switzerland come at a price: a high cost of living. Still, for many foreigners who have decided to move there, the price is worth it.
