Embark on Your Life as an Expat in Switzerland

Switzerland may not have a coastline, but it has plenty of leisure activities, as the central European home to the mountainous high peaks of the Alps. Its exciting hiking trails and ski resorts are world famous. Its cities are also world-renowned, from the commercial hub of Zurich to the bohemian diplomatic Geneva. Most expats move to Switzerland for its banking and finance industries, as well as its chocolates. Switzerland's major cities have been praised for their excellent infrastructure and it was voted as the fourth best place for expats to live in the 51ԹϺExpats Insider survey. Switzerland was also voted as the safest place to live, and as the country with the best travel and transportation and the country that offers the highest quality of life. Excellent living conditions and safe cities no doubt contributed to the results. Its strong economy draws expats from all over the world with low employment, a skilled labor force, and the highest per capita GDP in the world. Switzerland was also voted as the best country for expat education, so it is great for families.
