List of cities in Switzerland
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates
Below is a list of towns and cities in Switzerland. Until 2014 municipalities with more than 10,000 inhabitants were considered to be towns (Template:Langx, Template:Langx, Template:Langx). Since 2014, the Federal Statistical Office (FSO) uses a new algorithm (called Template:Langx, or Template:Langx) to define whether a municipality can be called a town or not; it now also depends on its character.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Currently, FSO considers 162 municipalities as towns/cities (Template:Langx, Template:Langx) in Switzerland. Further, some municipalities which would fulfill such a definition nevertheless prefer to understand themselves still as a village, or consequently refer to themselves just as municipalities (Template:Langx, Template:Langx, Template:Langx). The Swiss definition of a town differs from the definition of a municipality.<ref name=publ>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>Template:Rp
List of towns and cities
This is an alphabetical list of towns or cities (these English terms can be used interchangeably, as there is no official differentiation), which follows the FSO's definition (Template:Langx, Template:Langx), as well as places with historic town rights (h) and/or market towns (m).<ref name=publ/>Template:Rp
- Places in bold print are towns because of the FSO's definition and historic town/market rights.
- Places in italics are towns excluded by the FSO's definition, but places which have either historic town rights (h) or historic market rights (m).
- Places in normal print are towns according to the FSO's definition.
- Places that had lost historic town rights previously are identified with "-h".
- Cantonal capitals (Template:Langx, Template:Langx, Template:Langx) are underlined.
