The most beautiful sides of Switzerland: 32 personal love letters to Swiss cities, 32 full-page images featuring sometimes unusual views. This trilingual souvenir book showcases the host country of Switzerland from its historical-urban perspective. In little Switzerland, there are cities like sand on the beach. Over 140 are "real," meaning they have more than 10,000 residents. Two-thirds of them lack a historical background. Villages have grown until they reached the borders of their neighbors. This has created a landscape we call agglomeration. These are not the focus of this little book. 100 cities can rightly call themselves so; they possess centuries-old rights. Those who wish to experience history in old town centers with picturesque streets, enjoy coffee in romantic squares, and explore well-preserved buildings are encouraged to delve into this souvenir book.
