When Switzerland is mentioned, the first things that come to mind are undoubtedly chocolate, cheese and cuckoo clocks. Then let's take a look at the list of things to buy from Switzerland that we have compiled for you.

The center of the cuckoo clock in the world has been known as the German town of Triberg since the 1750s, but Switzerland's cuckoo clocks are also quite famous. Especially the tree house model in watches is unique to the Swiss. If you like slightly nostalgic gifts, the cuckoo clock can be at the top of the list of things to buy from Switzerland.

If you are one of those who like to taste a variety of cheeses, you have already listed it among the things to buy from Switzerland! The name of the variety with large holes and fruit flavor is Emmental, and the name of the more oily and aromatic variety is Gruyere. If you like spicier cheeses, Appenzeller will appeal to you. The most well-known foods made with cheese are fondue and Vacherin Fribourgeois is a type of cheese used in fondue making. We recommend that you do not return without trying it while you are there.
