'''Switzerland''' is a country in [[Western Europe]].
__NOTOC__
In '''Switzerland''' people speak four different indigenous languages, depending on the area you are hanging around: [[Germany|German]] in the north and east, [[Italy|Italian]] in the south, [[France|French]] in the western part of the country, and Rhaeto-Rumantsch, which dates back to Roman times is derived from Vulgar Latin, brought by roman soldiers two millenia ago in the mountains of eastern Switzerland. There is a large percentage of foreigners, as well as many tourists. Most people will be able to understand some English.
Hitchhiking works very well in '''Switzerland''', especially in the mountain regions and small country roads, where it is quite common to pick up wanderers and hitchhikers. It's also quite easy to get lifts with truck drivers from [[Germany]] to [[Italy]] and back. There are not that many service stations along the highways, and some are not open 24 hours.
