Switzerland is divided into cantons which are Italian, French and German. Depending on the canton, one of these languages is the official one. It is a far more rich country then Germany. Also, it's, as you probably know, a neutral country - didn't even participate in WW2! |

I lived in Germany for a year, and found that southern Germany (Bavaria) was very similar to Switzerland, in terms of terrain. As for differences, I felt that the Swiss people were somewhat more reserved than Germans, who tended to be a bit more friendly. |

Globalisation is reducing the differences all the time ( though there will always be an element of backlash ). Most Swiss speak German (and most young people speak v good English). I once went to Biel, the only bi-lingual town in Switzerland?, but everyone spoke German (or English). |

Some of it is a lot different. Geneva and surrounding area are quite french (language, food, customs), and Zurich and surrounding areas are similar to Germany. The south of Switzerland is heaven -- Italian food, language, and fabulous scenery, complete with Alps and deep water lakes. The area around Lugano, Como, and Ciasso is stunning, and if you speak even a little Italian, the people are charmed and charming. |

Switzerland is very different from Germany. Don't go tell a Swiss person who speaks German that they are Germans.
Same thing with the French speaking parts. Don't tell them they're french because they don't really like french people as a general rule.
These are two different cultures too.
And they have their own way of speaking German (which we call swiss-german), although they also can speak regular german. |

well, it's pretty much divided into 3 sections: German, French, and Itlaian, but even in the italian part, it is more similar to germany than most of italy (except the north.) In the german part t's pretty much like a more mountinous, homey germany. |

Apart from them being 2 different countries, speaking different languages, and the people, not too different. |
