- Public holidays are regulated at the cantonal level and may vary. Key observed holidays include New Year's Day (Jan 1), Good Friday, Easter Monday, and Ascension.
- Cultural respect is highly valued, including maintaining quietness (especially on Sundays) and following designated rules and structure. It is important to obtain explicit permission before photographing or recording people. Punctuality is critical; arriving late is considered disruptive.
