Compared to most Europeans, the Swiss are scrupulously law-abiding, rendering even the minimal
police
presence superfluous. Regarding
health problems
, the E111 is valid in Liechtenstein but not in Switzerland, so you must have private insurance. Virtually every hospital (
Spital
,
hopital
,
ospedale
) has some kind of 24-hour service, although you will have to pay hefty medical bills upfront and claim expenses back later; make sure you keep full receipts and doctors' reports. Every district has a rota system whereby one local
pharmacy
(
Apotheke
,
pharmacie
,
farmacia
) stays open outside normal shopping hours. Each pharmacy will have a sign in the window telling you where the nearest open one is. Local newspapers also have details. Other useful information
