Countries that border Switzerland

5 land neighbours: Austria, France, Germany, Italy and Liechtenstein. Each one has a page of its own.

Liechtenstein borders Switzerland but is too small for the Europe map to draw as a tap target, so it is not on the map above — it still deals in the capitals and flags games.

Why this one is hard

5 neighbours, and 5 pairs of them border each other too.

10 countries in Europe have more than its 5 land borders; it is the same as Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Belarus, Croatia, Kazakhstan, Romania and Slovakia. Of the 10 possible pairings among them, 5 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Germany is the most connected of them, with 9 land borders of its own. All of them are on the Europe map with Switzerland, and on the world map with everyone else.
