Cantons are nothing but imaginary lines drawn on the swiss political landscape.Their is nothing to say one canton will be significantly any different than other...hence can't imagine what is the essence of covering all cantons.I would rather understand seeing 'n' no. of interesting places in Switzerland ( if you wanna stick to the country) or Western Europe in general. | |

I actually disagree, the history of Switzerland is one of individual cantons joining a federation, each one has a different history, it wasn't just an abstract breaking up of the country into states or even countries..as you find elsewhere. As a US American, I do find it silly when people try to visit all 50 states though there are differences, these aren't very distinctive in most places and historically is more randomly set borders (compared to Switzerland)... and these are usually the people who don't even have passports.
