Car hire Switzerland information
The relatively small Alp country is located between

Switzerland is famous throughout the world for its beautiful scenery. There are 74 mountains in Switzerland higher than 4,000 metres. Of the country’s landmarks the Matterhorn is probably the most famous. Over 30% of the area of Switzerland is covered with forestland. In addition, there are also a lot of mountain lakes and rivers. Many holiday makers, including people from countries such as
Hungary,
Bulgaria or Armenia, come to Switzerland each year. And what’s better than being able to enjoy the nature of Switzerland with an inexpensive hired car? Thanks to the good roads and motorways it’s easy to get by hired car to cities such as Basel, Geneva or the capital city of Bern. Besides the flora and fauna, Switzerland is also known far and wide for its culinary delights. In addition to Swiss cheese and chocolate, cheese fondue in particular is enjoying immense worldwide popularity. Apart from that, influences on many specialities in Swiss cuisine come from the neighbouring countries that lend it their languages. There are a lot of supporters of winter sports in Switzerland. Ice hockey and skiing are two of the most popular sports of Swiss residents. Besides, football and handball are also Swiss national sports.
