I think I did visit most of the most famous places of my country! Just because I missed one canton doesn't mean I don't know my country as you seem to suggest... You can check on my gallery, I regularly post pictures taken in the whole country! Zug is located 30 minutes train from Lucerne, 30 minutes train from Zurich also, landscapes are not that different than the rest of the country (it is a typical lakeside town surrounded by mountains, I already visited dozens of cities that look like this in Switzerland), I guess that's why I had never been there before!
I really want you to understand that visiting literally ALL 26 cantons is not common (at least for a young person like me), because a lot of them are actually pretty similar. People go out a lot, but they mostly stay in their regions because there are enough things to do there. Why would they spend 5 hours in a car to go somewhere that looks exactly the same that what they have at home? They do it sometimes, but they don't need to go to every canton Also don't forget that Switzerland is a polyglot country (we've got 4 different languages), which makes that travelling to your country may seem like travelling abroad
A last thing: as I'm still young, I don't have a car, so I'm only travelling by train, which is really expensive (Geneva-Zurich, a 2 hours 40 trip, is 80 Euros). Personally, I've got the "General" train pass, which allows me to go anywhere in the country, it costs 2'500 Euros per year (and that's the cheapest option I have for my needs!), many young people like me can't afford to travel that much in the country!
Helvetics, I don`t censure about that thing not to visit all cantons. I am talking only aloud in according with my vision on world and situation.
Why I talk because Swiss is smaller in 93 times than Russia and I visited a lot places in Russia and all Moscow. It is my motherland and I went by foot and by bicycle all it and know every district.
Swiss is very rich and can allow to travel much and boarded on north, south, west and east with top-country. It easy to travel to it and sure when you are going for this direction you can visit all your country.
You told me about that you don`t have car. Ok, it is great problem for travel, sure because public transport in Swiss is very expensive but cost of cars like in other Europe and for young people ( I considered that you are more 23 years, may be a mistake) you should have car for 4-8K euros… It is like average salary for 2 months for Swiss…
The distance between Geneva and Zurich by roads is 240 km! Only. The distance between Moscow and SPb – 700 km and a lot young Moscow citizens go to Piter several times in year.
This distance is nothing for us.
And the main shoot for the my argument! My country house located (door to door) on distance 140 km from apartment! 140 km – it is 2 hours only without traffic jam and on summer time my parents go every weekend for this distance. Only for 2 days!!! 300 km for weekend. It is soo easy. Distance of your country is 300 km all! Now you understand that is so funny for me when you say it is not popular for people and blablabla… Sure, I lot people never go out from the city or village but who interested the world and like to travel must to do)
Especial if you live in such beautiful country, can talk on 4-th languages and your neighbors are so cool countries… not Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and etc)))
Relax, it is only understanding how is Russia is big. For siberina people the distance 300-500 km is nothing like go to country house)
