	TRAVEL TO SWITZERLAND Switzerland (German: Schweiz, French: Suisse, Italian: Svizzera, Romansh: Svizra), officially the Swiss Confederation, is a landlocked country of roughly 7.5 million people in Western Europe. Switzerland is a federal republic consisting of 26 states. These states are called cantons. Berne is the seat of the federation and capital, while the country's economic centers are located in its two global cities, Geneva and Zürich. Switzerland is one of the richest countries in the world. It is bordered by Germany, France, Italy, Austria and Liechtenstein and 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. Switzerland is multilingual and has four national languages: German, French, Italian and Romansh. Where to start on Switzerland... The lakes in summer? The mountains in winter?

And everything so fresh and clean! Go there! For more travel suggestions, please visit www.toptenvacationspots.net. TRAVEL TO ROME Rome (Italian: Roma, Latin: Roma), capital of the world (Caput Mundi), the Eternal City (la Città Eterna), the city of the seven hills (la città dei sette colli) or simply the City (l'Urbe): enough reasons to visit and get impressed by the many, many historical sights. Smell ancient Rome in the middle of this cosmopolitan-crazy Italian capital. Rome is the country's largest and most populous city, with over 4 million residents! The old 'capital of the world' is thoroughly modern and cosmopolitan. As one of the few major European cities that escaped World War II relatively unscathed, central Rome remains essentially Renaissance and Baroque in character. The Historic Centre of Rome is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. For centuries, Rome has been the center of Western civilization, and is the seat of the Catholic Church. The State of the Vatican City, the sovereign territory of the Holy Sea is an enclave of Rome. Situated on the River Tiber, between the Apennine Mountains and the Tyrrhenian Sea, the "Eternal City" was once the administrative center of the mighty Roman Empire, governing a vast region that stretched all the way from Britain to Mesopotamia. Today, Rome is modern and cosmopolitan. It is the third most-visited tourist destination in Europe and a city of both cultural and political importance. Its international airport at Fiumicino is the largest in Italy; it hosts the head offices of the vast majority of the major Italian companies, as well as the headquarters of three of the world's 100 largest companies (Enel, ENI, Telecom Italia).
