Culture

Switzerland has a rich and diverse culture, reflected not only in its four national languages (German, French, Italian, and Romansh), but also in the breadth of its art, literature, film, and music sectors. Geographically surrounded by five European countries, Switzerland has nonetheless developed its own unique culture – one that is famous for driving innovation and creativity. Cultural exchange between Switzerland and the U.S. provides the foundation for growth in many other areas.

Experience how Switzerland’s cultural impact in the United States strengthens the bilateral relationship.
