What do people like (and dislike) about Switzerland?
When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Switzerland, they replied...
"Expats and digital nomads often appreciate the high quality of life in Switzerland, with its excellent infrastructure, efficient public transportation, and stunning natural beauty. They also enjoy the country's low crime rate, excellent healthcare system, and strong economy. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the cost of living in Switzerland to be quite high, as well as the language barrier, which can make it difficult to integrate into the local culture. Additionally, the strict immigration laws can make it difficult for expats and digital nomads to stay in the country for extended periods of time," explained one expat living in Switzerland.
