By the middle of the nineteenth century it was still a small country town. Almost every worker was employed in some form of agriculture or as a servant to the gentry who were beginning to build their villas a decent distance from the low thatched cottages & the traders premises at its centre. The railway arrived in 1840 & changed all that. As the new industrial town snarled & snapped at the foot of the hill Old Town remained self-contained & independent. It expanded slowly advancing inexorably towards that watershed in its future when the old settlement & the new town would conjoin physically & administratively allowing the latter to dominate.

FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR One country four languages 26 cantons & 7.5 million people (but only 80% of them Swiss): there's nowhere else in Europe like it. Switzerland may be almost 400 km from the nearest drop of seawater but it is an island at the centre of Europe. Welcome to the landlocked isl&.

A country famous for its punctual trains & strict neutrality

From seeking Heidi & finding the best chocolate to reliving a bloody past & exploring an uncertain future Swiss Watching proves that there's more to Switzerland than banks & skis francs & cheese.
