Switzerland is actually a multi languages country, where at least three languages are spoken here, they are French, German, and Italian. I fact this small country is devided into three sectors based on its language spoken in each region. I'm not so sure if Latin language is also spoken here, since they also use some Latin words here, like Helvetia as a Latin name of Switzerland which always printed on a stamp of Switzerland.

Zurich :
It is a German language spoken region or German Switzerland, it's an excellent banker's city, prosperous, clean, and peaceful, but pricer are real hard to swallow. Beside the boring bank buildings, the rich and famous people,. and of course expensive prices, you still have a lot to see and to enjoy.
Like the Fraumunster, the Gothic Cathedral is featuring Marc Chagall works, and the Grossmunster, a Romanesque Cathedral. Visit the Kunshaus, a great museum with good collection of XXth century arts from Picasso, Chagall, Klee, Mondrian, and the Expressionist.

Lucerne:
Located between Mt Rigi and Mt Pilatus, this charming and prosperous city, has also high prices. Although it has narrow streets,but they are full of architectural monuments and highclass jewelry and watch stores.
Take a walk along the river and go across the river by two ancient bridges (1333) which connect the banks of the river, i.e. the Kapellbrucke and the Spreurbrucke, both of them are decorated with beautiful hand paintings. Climb to the three mountains which are Pilatus, Rigi, and Titlus for a birdeye view of the city. Visit the Am Rhyn House with the small but excellent collection of Picasso's works.
