Landlocked
Despite its abundance of lakes and rivers, Switzerland is entirely landlocked, surrounded by France, Germany, Austria, Italy, and Liechtenstein. This unique geographic characteristic sets Switzerland apart from many other countries. The absence of any coastline makes Switzerland a true landlocked nation, with the closest shoreline located approximately 200 kilometers away along the Italian coastline.
Switzerland’s landlocked status hasn’t diminished its global significance, as the country remains a beacon of political stability, economic strength, and natural beauty in the heart of Europe.
