Bern
&; Bern Tourism
Bern is the capital of Switzerland, and also the capital of the canton of the same name.
As the seat of government, the city houses the federal ministries and a number of other federal institutions, including the National Bank. It is also the headquarters of the Universal Postal Union, one of the specialised agencies of the United Nations. In addition it is the seat of public services, such as Swiss Post (the state-owned post office) and the Swiss Federal Railways. The city has a small airport in the suburb of Belp. Although Zurich is Switzerland's main rail hub, Bern has a direct rail service to several of the major cities of Switzerland, as well as to European cities such as Paris, Berlin, Barcelona and Milan.
History
The city was founded in the 12th century on a tongue of land surrounded on three sides by the river Aare. However, the first settlements in the area go back to pre-Roman times. It grew rich as a trading centre, and subsequently became an aggressive political and military power, ruling over a number of subject territories. It was one of the leading members of the old Swiss Confederation. Although the French invasion of 1798 put an end to the system of rulers and subjects, Bern retained its leading position, and in 1848 was chosen as the permanent capital of the modern Swiss state.
There are several theories as to the derivation of the name. It may come from Brenodor, the name of a Celtic settlement built on the site. However, the popular story has that Bern was named after the bear (German: Bär), the first animal to be killed by its founder, Duke Berchtold V von Zähringen, when he went hunting near his new city. Bears have a long association with the town, which has had a bear pit since the end of the 15th century.
Zurich
The Helmhaus contemporary art museum, Wasserkirche (Water Church,) and Grossmü cathedral
&; picswiss.ch
Zurich is the capital of the canton of the same name. It lies on the river Limmat where it flows out of Lake Zurich, and is the largest town in Switzerland.
The city is a cultural mecca, and in international polls frequently figures among the most desirable cities in the world to live in. In the 19th and 20th centuries in particular it attracted many notable writers, artists and composers. The Dada art movement was born in Zurich's Cabinet Voltaire in 1916. Today it boasts not only many museums, theatres and concert halls, but some 500 bars, nightclubs and discos. The Bahnhofstrasse is one of Switzerland's prime shopping streets.
The Neue Zürcher Zeitung ("New Zurich Newspaper") is Switzerland's most prestigious newspaper. It was first published in 1780, and is one of the oldest German language newspapers still in existence.
The city is home both to Zurich University and to one of Switzerland's two prestigious Federal Institutes of Technology, the ETHZ. Between 1975 and 2002 the ETHZ alone proced 7 Nobel science laureates.
Switzerland's largest airport is in Kloten near Zurich. The city is also an important rail hub. As for urban transport, Zurich claims to have the best-served urban traffic network in the world.
History
Turicum, from which the name Zurich comes, was originally a Roman customs post and fort on the left bank of the Limmat. The settlement later spread to both sides of the river.
During the Middle Ages it developed as an economic, cultural and religious centre. In the course of the 13th century it graally gained more rights of self-government, although it remained part of the German empire.
In 1351 it joined the Swiss Confederation, where it quickly became one of the leading members, along with Bern and Lucerne.
It has traditionally been at the forefront of new developments: it led the Protestant forces at the Reformation in the 16th century, its liberal politicians played a key role in establishing the modern federal state in 1848, and its entrepreneurs were the backbone of the instrial revolution in Switzerland in the 19th century.

Geneva is the capital of the canton of the same name, and is Switzerland's second biggest city. It lies in the south-west, near the border with France, at the western end of Lake Geneva, where the Rhone flows out of the lake.
A number of international organisations have their headquarters in Geneva. These include the European headquarters of the UN, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the World Health Organisation (WHO), the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the UN High Commission for Refugees and CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research.
It is also the site of the headquarters of the World Economic Forum (WEF).
Geneva is also well known for its watches. The Geneva Seal, or Poinçon de Genève, is a quality hallmark which is only granted to a select range of luxury watches according to strict criteria. Each year Geneva holds an exclusive fair, the International Salon for Prestige Watchmaking.
Geneva is also known for its car fair, held every year in March. Other fairs held in Geneva include the Inventors' Fair and the Book Fair.
The city has Switzerland's second largest airport, Cointrin. It is linked directly by rail with Paris, and also with Milan, via the Rhone valley. Within Switzerland it has direct trains to Lake Constance at the opposite end of the country via Bern and Zurich.
In international surveys ranking cities of the world for their quality of life, Geneva usually figures very near the top.
History
Geneva was a settlement even in Celtic times. It was an important transshipment point under the Romans, who named it Genava.
The Germanic Burgundians, who conquered the area in the 5th century, made it their capital for a time.
The city was the seat of a bishop from around 400 until the Reformation, when the bishop was driven out and the city became one of the major Protestant centres in Europe under Jean Calvin. The influx of refugees it attracted contributed to its economic and cultural upsurge.
In 1602 the city defeated the Duke of Savoy and forced him to abandon his territorial claims against it. Geneva then remained a small city state until it was briefly absorbed into France in 1798, before becoming a Swiss canton in 1815.
Lausanne
Lausanne around 1900
&; Library of Congress
Lausanne, the capital of Canton Vaud, lies on Lake Geneva in the French-speaking area of Switzerland.
It is Switzerland's fifth largest city, and the main economic and administrative centre in the west of the country after Geneva.
Lausanne houses the headquarters of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). A number of international sport federations are also based in the city: table tennis, volleyball, baseball, fencing, wrestling, swimming, archery, air sports, and rowing.
Lausanne is the home of one of Switzerland's two Federal Institutes of Technology, the EPFL. (The other – the ETHZ – is in Zurich.) It also houses the Federal Supreme Court.
Although Lausanne is overshadowed by Geneva as a centre of international diplomacy, it has hosted a number of international conferences, including the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne which settled the borders of Turkey after World War I.
Lausanne is an important railway hub, on the line from Bern to Geneva. It is linked directly with Paris and is also the gateway to the Rhone valley.
The town is characterised by its steep streets. A gorge runs through the centre, which made it necessary to build bridges from one neighbourhood to another. A set of covered stairs leads up to the cathedral; a cogwheel railway (originally a funicular) links the railway station with the lakeside.
History
The Lausanne area was already settled in the fourth millennium BC. The Romans built a military camp, which they named Lousonna, on the site of a Celtic settlement in what is now the suburb of Vidy.
In the 7th century it became the seat of the bishopric of Lausanne. The town developed as an economic and religious centre in the Middle Ages, ruled by the bishop. It lay on the Via Francigena pilgrim route between Canterbury and Rome. Over the years the citizens, backed by the counts of Savoy, graally won more freedoms.
The city lost much of its importance when Bern took it over along with the whole of what is now Canton Vaud in 1536, and ruled it until 1798. When Vaud became a separate canton in 1803, Lausanne became the capital.
Lucerne
Lucerne (German: Luzern) is the capital of the canton of the same name. It lies at the north western end of Lake Lucerne, where the river Reuss flows out of the lake. Lucerne is the economic and cultural centre of central Switzerland.
The economy of Lucerne is based on tourism and commerce. It also offers services in such areas as transport, health and consulting. There are over four and a half jobs in the service sector for every one job in instry or agriculture.
Lucerne has direct train links with most major Swiss cities and to Milan. It is served not only by the Swiss Federal Railways, but also by the private Zentralbahn.
The city has a small university, which is to be expanded in the next few years. Its theology department enjoys a particularly strong reputation.
History
The city was once a dependency of the Alsatian monastery at Murbach, but graally gained autonomy. The year 1178 marked a turning point in its relations with the monastery, and is regarded as the date of its foundation as a city.
After the opening up of the Gotthard pass in the early 13th century it grew wealthy as an important staging post on the route between Italy and northern Europe. The city joined the young Swiss Confederation in 1332.

『叁』 求关于瑞士的英文资料
Switzerland is a landlocked alpine country of roughly 7.6 million people in Western Europe with an area of 41,285 km². Switzerland is a federal republic consisting of 26 states called cantons. Berne is the seat of the federal authorities, while the country's economic centres are its three global cities, Geneva, Basel and especially Zürich. Switzerland is one of the richest countries in the world by per capita gross domestic proct. Zürich and Geneva have respectively been ranked as having the first and second highest quality of life in the world.[8]
Switzerland is bordered by Germany to the north, France to the west, Italy to the south and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east. The country has a long history of neutrality — it has not been at war since 1815 — and hosts many international organizations, including the Red Cross, the World Trade Organization and one of the U.N.'s two European offices. However, it is not a member of the European Union. Switzerland is multilingual and has four national languages: German, French, Italian and Romansh. The country's formal name is Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft in German, Confédération suisse in French, Confederazione Svizzera in Italian and Confederaziun svizra in Romansh. The establishment of Switzerland is traditionally dated to 1 August 1291; the first of August is the national holiday.
Culture
Main article: Culture of Switzerland
See also: Music of Switzerland, Swiss folklore, Alpine culture, Swiss cuisine, Swiss literature, and Swiss media
Alphorn players in ValsThe culture of Switzerland is influenced by its neighbours but over the years a distinctive culture with some regional differences and an independent streak has developed. In particular, French-speaking regions have tended to orient themselves slightly more on French culture and tend to be more pro EU. In general, the Swiss are known for their long standing humanitarian tradition as Switzerland is the birth place of the Red Cross Movement and hosts the United Nations Human Rights Council. Swiss German speaking areas may perhaps be seen more oriented on German culture, although German-speaking Swiss people identify strictly as Swiss because of the difference between High German, and the Swiss German dialects. Italian-speaking areas can have more of an Italian culture. A region may be in some ways strongly culturally connected to the neighbouring country that shares its language. The linguistically isolated Romansh culture in the eastern mountains of Switzerland is also robust and strives to maintain its rare linguistic tradition.
Many mountain areas have a strong highly energetic ski resort culture in winter, and a hiking (wandering) culture in summer. Some areas throughout the year have a recreational culture that caters to tourism, yet the quieter seasons are spring and autumn when there are fewer visitors and a higher ratio of Swiss. A traditional farmer and herder culture also predominates in many areas and small farms are omnipresent outside the cities. In film, American proctions constitute most of the programme, although several Swiss movies have enjoyed commercial successes in recent years. Folk art is kept alive in organizations all over the country. In Switzerland it is mostly expressed in music,dance, poetry,wood carving and embroidery. The alphorn, a trumpet- like musical instrument made of wood, has become alongside yodeling and the accordion an epitome of traditional Swiss music.
Sport
Ski area over the glaciers of LötschentalSkiing and mountaineering are much practiced by Swiss people and foreigners, the highest summits attract mountaineers from around the world. The Haute Route trekking or the Patrouille des Glaciers race have international reputation.
Like many other Europeans, many Swiss are fans of football (Soccer) and the national team or 'Nati' is widely supported. Switzerland's most well known football clubs include Grasshoppers Zurich, Servette FC and FC Basel. Switzerland was also the joint venue with Austria in the Euro 2008 football tournament, although the Swiss team dropped out before the Quarter Finals. The Swiss Beach Soccer Team on the other hand became runner-up in 2008 and in 2005 they won the Euro Beach Soccer Cup.
Spengler Cup in DavosMany Swiss also follow ice hockey and support one of the 12 clubs in the league A. Switzerland will host the 2009 IIHF World Championships for the 10th time. The Swiss team's latest achievement in ice hockey is the 1953 bronze medal. Switzerland is also the home of the sailing team Alinghi which won the America's Cup in 2003 and defended the title in 2007. Curling has been a very popular winter sport for more than 30 years. The Swiss teams have won 3 World Men's Curling Championships and 2 Women's titles. The Swiss men's team skipped by Dominic Andres won a gold medal at 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics. Golf is a growing sport with more than 35 courses available.
Over the last few years several Swiss tennis players, like Roger Federer and Martina Hingis, have been multiple Grand Slam singles champions. One of the world's best current ice skaters is Swiss Stéphane Lambiel. André Bossert is successful Swiss professional golfer.
Traditional wrestling (Schwingen)Other sports where the Swiss have been successful include fencing (Marcel Fischer), cycling (Fabian Cancellara), whitewater slalom (Ronnie Dürrenmatt – canoe, Mathias Röthenmund – kayak), ice hockey (Swiss National League), beach volleyball (Sascha Heyer, Markus Egger, Paul and Martin Laciga), and skiing (Bernhard Russi, Pirmin Zurbriggen, Didier Cuche).
Motorsport racecourses and events were banned in Switzerland following the 1955 Le Mans disaster with exception to events such as Hillclimbing. However, this ban was overturned in June 2007. Even though racing has been banned in Switzerland, the country has proced successful racing drivers such as Clay Regazzoni, Jo Siffert and successful World Touring Car Championship driver Alain Menu. High profile drivers from Formula 1 and World Rally Championship such as Michael Schumacher, Nick Heidfeld, Kimi Räikkönen, Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton and Sébastien Loeb all have a residence in Switzerland, albeit mainly for tax purposes.
Local
A game of Hornussen.Swiss wrestling or "Schwingen" is an old tradition from the rural central cantons and considered the national sport by some.
Hornussen is another indigenous Swiss sport, which is like a cross between baseball and golf.
Steinstossen is the Swiss variant of stone put, a competition in throwing a heavy stone. Practiced only among the alpine population since prehistoric times, it is recorded to have taken place in Basel in the 13th century. It is also central to the Unspunnenfest, first held in 1805, with its symbol the 83.5 kg Unspunnenstein.
Floorball is a relatively new sport in Switzerland that grows every year in popularity. A main factor is the professional league called Nationalliga A that draws many famous players from other countries

[编辑本段]各大城市介绍
首都:伯尔尼,市区人口12.25万
伯尔尼市: 伯尔尼市位于瑞士国土中间偏西,1848年联邦宪法定为瑞士首都,又称为“联邦城”, 同时也是伯尔尼州的首府。面积(包括郊区)230多平方公里,市区人口12.4万,海拔550米,位于莱茵河支流阿尔河的一个天然弯曲处,湍急的河水从三面环绕伯尔尼老城而过,形成了一个半岛。传说为给城市取名,当时的统治者扎灵根公爵决定外出打猎,以打到的第一只野兽作为城市名,结果打死一头熊,于是以“熊”字为该城命名。伯尔尼这一名称是从德文“熊”字演绎而来,德语中熊一词的发音是“拜尔”,后渐变为“伯尔尼”。“熊”自然成了伯尔尼的城徽,进而又变为伯尔尼州的标志。伯尔尼市有些古建筑上至今仍留有熊的雕塑。在阿尔河东岸山岗尼德格大桥附近,还辟有熊苑,喂养着一些供游人观赏的熊。
伯尔尼城始建于12世纪,至18世纪建成现在规模,已有800年的历史。伯尔尼老城原来一些木质结构的建筑被中世纪的多次大火烧毁,后来重建时改为石头结构,现仍保持完好:碎石铺成的马车道,街道两旁是彼此相连的漫长拱廓,红瓦白墙相映生辉的古老房屋,各有典故的街心喷泉彩柱,16世纪的钟塔及始建于1421年的晚期哥特式大教堂,使伯尔尼显得古色古香,保留着中世纪时的风貌。现主要街道已被划为步行区,环境十分幽静。伯尔尼老城已被联合国科教文组织列入世界文化名城之列。
瑞士过去在很长时间内没有固定的首都,1848年11月28日,伯尔尼被定为瑞士联邦首都,成为联邦政府所在地和全国政治和外交中心。联邦政府和联邦议会设在阿尔河北岸铜绿色的联邦大厦中,这是一组用花岗石建造的宫殿式的大型建筑群,建于1852年-1857年。大厦左右两翼是联邦各部的办公楼 ,中间圆顶下面是联邦议会两院的会议厅。大厦于1894-1902年进行扩建,1993年再次进行修缮,并添置了电子表决装置。
由于市民反对噪音和地势等原因,伯尔尼未建大型机场,仅有一小飞机场,设有通往西欧主要城市的航线。伯尔尼有通往全国各地的高速公路,也是全国铁路枢纽之一。
二次大战后, 伯尔尼的机械、仪表、电器、制药、纺织、食品、建筑和印刷工业逐年发展,但均系一些中小企业,在瑞士经济中不占重要地位。 伯尔尼主要是行政和银行业中心,同时也是一个文化和旅游城市。市内有古老学府之一的伯尔尼大学,建于1834年,以研究宇宙射线著称。此外,还有历史、自然史、艺术、兵器等不同类型的众多博物馆,伯尔尼还是万国邮政联盟和国际铁路运输总局所在地。
历史上,许多革命活动家都曾在伯尔尼居住过。恩格斯1848年秋曾到伯尔尼指导瑞士的工人运动。列宁从1914年9月到1916年初也曾在伯尔尼附近的齐美瓦尔德和昆塔尔逗留过,并写过不少揭露第二国际机会主义叛徒的文章。著名物理学家爱因斯坦在伯尔尼联邦专利局工作期间,业余钻研物理学,发表了他的惊世之作“相对论”,伯尔尼将此引为骄傲,至今还保留着爱因斯坦的住所(已辟为博物馆)。
瑞士其他主要城市
苏黎世市:苏黎世市是苏黎世州首府,坐落在苏黎世湖畔北岸。1997年底市区人口 33.8万,其中外国人占 27.9%,是瑞士第一大城市,已有两千年的历史,它既是全国最大的金融和商业中心,又是瑞士重要的文化城市,交通和服务业也居全国首位。
苏黎世是重要的国际金融中心和黄金市场之一。这里集中了350余家银行及银行分支机构,其中外国银行近70家。享有盛名的苏黎世交易所建于1876年,其成交额在西欧交易所中居前列,最高峰时有70%的证券交易在此进行。瑞士证券交易所是世界上目前唯一的具有全自动交易和清算系统的交易所,其先进的设备、高素质的人员为投资者提供了优良的服务。苏黎世的黄金市场更是闻名遐迩,近年来其黄金市场的地位有所下降,六十年代曾跃为仅次于伦敦的世界第二大黄金市场。
苏黎世地处交通要道,该市及其周围地区工商业很早就很兴盛,特别是丝绸业发展较快。现主要有机器制造、建筑、纺织、化工、电子、印刷和食品加工。市中心利马河西侧的火车站大街是全城最繁华的商业街,集中了上百家银行和众多的高级商店,珠宝首饰、名表裘皮、高档服装、文物古玩琳琅满目。
苏黎世是瑞士国内与国际交通的枢纽,高速公路四通八达,全国最大的火车站和机场均设在这里,每天进出火车700多列;机场年客运量上千万人次,瑞航和中国民航每周有数次航班往返于苏黎世和北京、上海之间。
苏黎世还是瑞士文化、教育和科研中心之一。苏黎世湖畔的“馥劳”教堂始建于公元853年,为典型的罗马式建筑。教堂不远处全市最美的巴罗克式建筑是昔日的酒业公会。河对岸正对“馥劳”教堂的建筑是苏黎世大教堂,其一对高耸的塔楼建于15世纪,它是苏黎世城的重要标志。市政厅则是一座华丽的意大利文艺复兴风格的建筑。苏黎世市有各类博物馆、美术馆50多处。苏黎世联邦高工、苏黎世大学等院校均是举世闻名的高等学府,我留瑞的近千名学生中约一半在上述两校深造。瑞士国家博物馆和图书馆也设在这里。列宁1916-1917年在该市从事研究工作,完成了著名的《帝国主义是资本主义发展的最高阶段》一书。
1982年苏黎世市与我昆明市结为友好城市。苏黎世对昆明市内公交、污水处理等给予了援助。
1988年我国在苏黎世设立了总领馆。
日内瓦市:日内瓦市是日内瓦州的首府,坐落在风景宜人的莱蒙湖畔。北、西、南三面与法国交界,依山傍水,景色秀丽,夏无酷暑,冬无严寒。最热的七月份平均气温为摄氏19度,最冷的一月份平均气温为摄氏零度左右。1997年底,日内瓦市区人口为17.3万,其中外籍人占 43.8%,为瑞士第二大城市。
日内瓦早在12世纪起已是欧洲的一个重要商业中心,目前是瑞士第二大金融市场,拥有120多家银行。
日内瓦尤以国际组织所在地和国际会议城市著称于世,与纽约、维也纳并称为联合国城。据统计,这里的国际机构共有243个,大致分三类:第一,联合国机构,如联合国贸易与发展会议、联合国开发计划署、世界贸发组织、世界卫生组织等;第二,政府间机构,如欧洲核子研究中心、欧洲自由贸易联盟等;第三,非政府组织,如各国议会联盟、保卫儿童国际联合会、国际红十字会等。著名的万国宫原是国际联盟的所在地,而今是联合国驻欧洲总部,已成为重要的多边外交活动中心之一,有关国际裁军、贸易、劳工、卫生、气象、电讯、人权等涉及世界和平、经济发展和社会进步的许多重大国际会议都在这里举行。近 130个国家在此设有常驻联合国和其它国际组织代表。我国于1954年设立驻日内瓦总领馆,1972年改为常驻联合国日内瓦代表处和其它国际组织代表团。
1954年,周恩来总理曾率代表团参加了关于越南问题的日内瓦会议;1961年,陈毅副总理率代表团参加关于老挝问题的日内瓦会议。
日内瓦是瑞士有名的游览胜地,有许多名胜古迹。法国启蒙思想家卢梭就诞生在老城一座古老的住宅里。英国诗人拜伦1816年曾住在科洛尼区一栋名为迪奥大迪的别墅里。在这别墅不远处,是英国浪漫诗人雪莱的旧居。
日内瓦市内值得一游的有:著名的宗教改革国际纪念碑、圣-皮埃尔大教堂、大剧院、艺术与历史博物馆、日内瓦大学等,在晴朗的日子里泛舟莱蒙湖,更是别有一番情趣。
巴塞尔市:巴塞尔市位于瑞士、法国和德国的三国交界处,面积37平方公里,市区人口 17.l万,系全国第三大城市。因莱茵河之故,中世纪的巴塞尔曾对欧洲贸易起过重要作用,1833年因城乡战争而分裂为北部的巴塞尔(市)和南部的巴塞尔(乡)两个半州。
自19世纪初起,巴塞尔逐渐发展成为一个工业城市。现在的工业主要有化工医药、机械、水泥、纺织、食品、钟表、冶金等。世界著名的诺华、罗氏等化工集团都设在巴塞尔,使它成为瑞士化学工业中心。在这两家集团就业的职工几乎占全市就业人口的一半。
巴塞尔:也是瑞士重要的金融市场之一,是国际清算银行和国际重建与发展银行的所在地,也是避暑的好地方。
巴塞尔既是瑞士的铁路枢纽,也是瑞士唯一通向海洋的河运港口,年货物吞吐量占瑞士全部外贸货运量的一半。
巴塞尔大学是瑞士最古老的大学,已有500多年的历史。哥特式的巴塞尔大教堂建于14世纪,宏伟挺拔,别具一格。圣马丁教堂则是11世纪至14世纪的建筑。
巴塞尔市政厅建于16世纪,赭红色的高大门墙上,有瑞士古代著名画家绘制的精美彩画。市内的金星饭店是瑞士全国最古老的饭店,建于1412年,绘有晚期哥特式的彩色图案。巴塞尔美术博物馆在欧洲颇负盛名,馆内陈列有瑞士中世纪著名画家和雕塑家的作品和大批现代画。地处市中心的巴塞尔博览会共有 4个大型展览馆,室内展区面积为14万平方米,露天展区面积为1万平米。每年春季都要举办国际博览会。1984年建成的巴塞尔广播电视塔高达250米,是瑞士目前最高的建筑物。
洛桑市:洛桑是沃州的首府,位于莱蒙湖畔。市区人口12万,主要讲法语,是瑞士第五大城市。
洛桑,一种解释为“水流”,另一解释意为“石头”。中世纪时洛桑已成为这个地区的政治、经济和宗教中心。1803年由沃州议会决定成为沃州的首府。
19世纪末,铁路的出现使洛桑成为瑞士法语区最重要的交通枢纽。洛桑是沃州工业的集中地,主要工业有精密机械、化工、食品、印刷等。
洛桑除有两所大学(洛桑联邦高工和洛桑大学)外,还有高等贸易学校、音乐学院、师范学校等。洛桑酒店管理学校在世界上颇有名气。
洛桑气候温和,依山傍水,风景宜人,是瑞士的游览胜地之一,旅游业是该地收入的重要来源。主要游览地有12世纪的哥特式大教堂?ツ冈骸?3世纪的圣-弗郎索瓦教堂、市政厅、14世纪的圣-梅尔城堡、自然疗养站,19世纪修建的吕密纳尔宫内常年展出大量收藏品。该市西部韦迪区的罗马博物馆收藏着有关古罗马港口卢佐纳的文物。此外还有古城博物馆、沃州历史博物馆、美术博物馆、自然历史博物馆等。
自1874年瑞士联邦宪法规定洛桑为联邦最高司法机构所在地以来,联邦法院就一直设在此地。
洛桑曾是外国流亡者聚集的城市。如法国的玛丽•路易丝皇后、拿破仑的三个兄弟、意大利烧炭党人、还有俄国的革命者和后来的白俄等。许多历史文化名人也曾在此逗留,如密支凯维茨、雪莱、拜伦、狄更斯、大仲马、雨果等。
洛桑是国际奥林匹克委员会总部(IOC)的所在地,并建有奥林匹克博物馆。
卢塞恩市:卢塞恩市是卢塞恩州的首府,位于瑞士中部高原,在卢塞恩湖的西北、苏黎世西南端,罗伊斯河穿城而过。人口约 7万,主要讲德语。卢塞恩原是一个渔村,8世纪建城,l178年建市,1230年圣哥达隧道开通后,成为联接中欧和南欧的重要交通枢纽和莱茵河与伦巴第之间的重要贸易中心,有木材加工、化学、机械和纺织等工业。
卢塞恩自然景色优美,旅游业相当发达,是瑞士的疗养、旅游胜地。河右岸老城与河左岸新城之间有7座桥梁相连,其中两座古代木桥形饰精美。最大的木桥和与其相连的水塔建于 1300年,是欧洲最古老的木桥,以其历史和美学价值成为该市的象征和瑞士人的骄傲,可惜这座木桥于1993年一夜之间被大火焚坏,次年重新修复。老城内有 14世纪的城墙和文艺复兴时期的建筑、老市政厅(1602—1606)、历史博物馆、交通博物馆等。市内的冰川公园里有两万年前冰川的遗迹和关于冰川时期的展览。在希尔斯广场可以寻觅到德国诗人歌德的故居。

万国宫:
万国宫过去是国际联盟的所在地,而今是联合国驻日内瓦办事处的总部。它是日内瓦作为一个国际城市的象征,也是世界近代史的一个缩影。
万国宫万国宫坐落在阿丽亚娜公园内,阿丽亚娜公园地处莱蒙湖右岸的丘陵地带上,占地面积25公顷(约合375亩)。站在园内高处可以俯瞰莱蒙湖,遥望欧洲最高的山峰勃朗峰。这座公园原为勒维利奥家族的私产,居斯塔夫?勒维利奥是这一家族的最后一代,他是一位作家,也是艺术品收藏家,他的母亲叫阿丽亚娜。当他母亲亡故以后,他把园子取名为阿丽亚娜,以表示对母亲的怀念。园中还有一个阿丽亚娜博物馆,是勒维利奥为存放他所收藏的中国和日本的大量瓷器而建造的。1890年,居斯塔夫?勒维利奥在临死前将阿丽亚娜公园和阿丽亚娜博物馆遗赠给日内瓦市。在其遗嘱中有三个规定:一、他死后,陵墓要修建在这个园内,日内瓦市政府必须永远负责保护和维修,不得毁坏;二、阿丽亚娜公园不能为私人所有,必须向公众开放;三、按照勒维利奥家族的传统,在园内要继续饲养孔雀。日内瓦市政府同意并遵守这三条规定。当年享有对阿丽亚娜公园的使用权的“国联”和现在的联合国驻日内瓦办事处也同意恪守这三条规定。
万国宫于1929年由“国联”着手兴建,当时曾有360名设计师参与设计。“国联”挑选了五名最佳建筑师,其中最主要的是意大利人卡洛布?罗奇和法国人雅克?卡吕。历时七年,大厦于1936年落成。
建成后的“国联”大厦——万国宫,占地面积18600平方米,整个建筑面积比著名的凡尔赛宫还要大。
联合国成立以后,将其驻日内瓦办事处设在万国宫。1969年,联合国决定扩建万国宫,由秘书长吴丹奠基,在万国宫北侧动工兴建新翼。为了使新翼能与老楼的建筑风格和阿里亚娜公园的自然环境相协调,同时又能符合实际的需要,由英、法、意三国的建筑师组成的设计委员会仔细选择了设计方案,并采用现代化的建筑材料和技术,历时五年方始建成。1973年,联合国秘书长瓦尔德海姆主持落成典礼。新建的楼翼设计新颖,造型优美,与原来的国联大厦十分和谐地融合在一起,新建的楼翼通过一条空中走廊即“天桥”与老楼相衔接。无论从它的线条、高度或是整个外形来看,它同万国官的老楼都相配得体,可以说是珠联璧合,相得益彰。
扩建后的万国官共有50个门,总长度为575米,占地面积为32600平方米,共有办公室1600个和大小会议室34个,总的空间容量是820,000立方米,楼面面积是32,000平方米。
原万国宫呈双马蹄形,一个对着莱蒙湖,一个对着汝拉山。朝向湖面这一侧马蹄形的三翼建筑结构主要包括:
一、左翼图书馆,这个图书馆是“国联”在建造万国宫时用美国人约翰 D 洛克菲勤捐赠的二百万美元建立起来的。目前共藏书一百万册,另有各国出版的各种期刊一万种,是世界上最大的国际性图书馆。馆内有宽敞的阅览室,还有一个国际联盟展览馆,展出“国联”的历史文献、图片和实物。此外,图书馆还收藏有世界各国的政界要人与联合国之间往来的亲笔信和各种手稿。这些重要的文献都集中在二楼一个专门的陈列室内。事实上,万国宫之所以坐落在这儿,正是由于这图书馆的缘故。原来计划将万国宫建在“国联”所拥有的一块地面上,即现在的临湖“休憩公园”,当初也没有建造这样一座大型图书馆的计划。
二、右翼理事楼,理事厅是万国官里最漂亮的一个大厅,又名西班牙厅,因为厅内的大型壁画是西班牙名画家约瑟?马利亚?塞尔特的作品。 19341936年间,塞尔特在他巴黎的画室里用了整整两年的时间,才完成这一组不朽的名作。画面呈金色与深褐色,画的主题是:正义、力量、和平、法律与智慧。
理事会议厅不仅是万国官里最漂亮的一个厅,而且也是一个重要的会议厅。按照联合国不成文的规定,凡涉及到国际安全问题的会议,或者比较紧急的会议,均在理事会议厅召开。 1954年,周总理亲自参加的印支会议就是在这个大厅举行的。理事厅能容纳500人,它的特色之一是能够按照每次会议的需要调整会议桌的位置。
三、中间部分是大会堂,大会堂前面的大过道实际上是一间休息厅,十分宽敞高大,是“国联”用各成员国赠送的材料建造的。墙上浅绿色的大理石是瑞典的,深绿色的是意大利的,朱红色的地板大理石是芬兰的,地板上的黑白大理石装饰是比利时的。过厅的墙上悬挂着两幅大型壁画,是万国宫的主要设计者之一雅克?卡吕的夫人绘制的。内容取自《圣经》上的故事,一幅象征着战争,一幅象征着和平。
大会堂与巴黎歌剧院一样大,内有两千个席位,另有同声传译席、记者席和观众席。1962年联合国曾进行扩建和装修。历史上这里曾举行过许多重要会议。现在,联合国的一些大型会议如裁军、海洋法会议等均在此举行;世界卫生组织和国际劳工组织的年会,也都在大会议厅里召开。
大会堂的两侧另有二十二个会议厅,大小不等。最小的有五十个席位,最大的有三百个席位。若留心观察一下这些会议厅,便会发现它们的内部装饰风格迥然不同。原来,这二十二个会议厅由“国联”的部分创始国负责装饰,每个国家负责一个,所以才形成了在风格上的千差万别。

您好,以下是对瑞士的英文介绍,希望对您有帮助:
Switzerland
Switzerland, in its full name the Swiss Confederation, is a federal republic consisting of 26 cantons, with Bern as the seat of the federal authorities. The country is situated in western Europe, where it is bordered by Germany to the north, France to the west, Italy to the south, and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east.
Switzerland is a landlocked country geographically divided between the Alps, the Swiss Plateau and the Jura, spanning an area of 41,285 km2 (15,940 sq mi). While the Alps occupy the greater part of the territory, the Swiss population of approximately 7.9 million people is concentrated mostly on the Plateau, where the largest cities are to be found. Among them are the two global cities and economic centres of Zurich and Geneva.
The Swiss Confederation has a long history of armed neutrality—it has not been in a state of war internationally since 1815—and did not join the United Nations until 2002. It pursues, however, an active foreign policy and is frequently involved in peace-building processes around the world. Switzerland is also the birthplace of the Red Cross and home to a large number of international organizations, including the second largest UN office. On the European level, it is a founding member of the European Free Trade Association and is part of the Schengen Area – although it is notably not a member of the European Union, nor the European Economic Area.
It has the world's nineteenth largest economy by nominal GDP and the thirty-sixth largest by purchasing power parity. It is the twentieth largest exporter and eighteenth largest importer of goods. In nominal terms, Switzerland is one of the richest countries in the world by per capita gross domestic proct, with a nominal per capita GDP of $75,835. In 2010, Switzerland had the highest wealth per alt (financial and non-financial assets) of any country in the world (with $372,692 for each person). Zurich and Geneva have respectively been ranked as the cities with the second and third highest quality of life in the world.
Switzerland comprises three main linguistic and cultural regions: German, French, and Italian, to which the Romansh-speaking valleys are added. The Swiss, therefore, though predominantly German-speaking, do not form a nation in the sense of a common ethnic or linguistic identity. The strong sense of belonging to the country is founded on the common historical background, shared values (federalism and direct democracy) and Alpine symbolism. The establishment of the Swiss Confederation is traditionally dated to 1 August 1291; Swiss National Day is celebrated on the anniversary.
