📣 Traveler notes

Switzerland is a mountainous country known for its democracy, stability, and high standard of living. Travelers should budget for high costs, including accommodation and dining.

Major public holidays may vary as they are regulated at the cantonal level. Nationally observed holidays include New Year's Day (Jan 1), Good Friday, Easter Monday, and Ascension Day (excluding those falling on Sundays).
Switzerland requires careful adherence to local regulations, particularly concerning noise and waste management.

About this holiday

Swiss National Day is observed annually on August 1st. Although celebrating the Swiss Confederacy started in 1891 and was marked annually since 1899, it was officially designated a public holiday in 1994.
