Diccon Bewes is a travel writer and British expat who lives in Switzerland and is currently applying to be a Swiss citizen. In this 3rd edition of his wryly amusing, informative and well set out book, he aims to get under the skin of Switzerland, combining a jaunt through its tourist highlights with an examination of the country‘s structures and values to create a fascinating look at this most neutral of nations.

I found the writing style of this book annoying. The author's opinions were also grating at times. On the other hand, this book was also filled with interesting little tidbits about Switzerland and Swiss culture that I found interesting and helpful while in Switzerland. 🇩🇰

I'm moving to a country which is essentially called the confederation of Helvetica. This font geek is pretty excited about that!
