Eating out in Switzerland can be very expensive. Being at the forefront of chocolate manufacturing, it is heaven for dessert lovers. Potatoes are a Swiss staple, along with cured sausages and air-dried meat. Swiss farmers mainly focus on dairy since wheat farming is less suited to higher altitudes.

It is indeed one of the most expensive places, but that being said, it is also one of the astounding places in this world.
