Except for a short time of occupation when Napoleon ruled France, Switzerland has been an independent country since 1499. It has been a neutral place when Europe saw conflict, providing over 200 years of neutrality. Four official languages are currently spoken there: Italian, French, Romansh, and Swiss German.
About eight million people live in Switzerland. The country has 6% of the freshwater reserves that Europe enjoys with its 1,500 lakes. Three of the cities regularly rank in the top 10 places to live in the world.
Although Switzerland is famous for its lakes and independence, the mountains that run through its borders get all of the attention. The Alps create 208 summits above 3,000 meters. The Matterhorn is the most famous one, standing at 4,478 meters.
The country is famous for its production of luxury watches, chocolate, and cheese. Swiss guards are also responsible for protecting the Vatican.
These Switzerland webcams are located in various towns and cities throughout the country.
