1 city in this atlas

Switzerland's political center and its largest city are not the same place. Bern serves as the capital, while Zürich stands as the country's largest settlement, ahead of Geneva, Basel, and Lausanne. Other sizeable cities include Winterthur, Luzern, Sankt Gallen, and Lugano, showing a spread of population centers across different regions rather than concentration around the seat of government.
