2000.06.21    Swiss Definitive Series: Tourism



To meet with the new rate effective from July 1, Swiss Post issued on June 21 a set of three definitive stamps. These stamps are the first bunch of a new definitive series: Tourism. The stamps are:

CHF 1.20, Music. As a classical musical instrument, violins are also used in religious music, thus linking two completely different arts and cultures: music and architecture.

CHF 1.30, Catering. The little church of St. Saphorin occupies a picturesque location. What could be more pleasant than to stop in a restaurant in the vine yards an savour a glass of cool local wine?

CHF 1.80, Swimming. Switzerland still has any number of baths, like those in Vals (picture on stamp), the only hot spring in the Grisons.
