This page is a summary of the postal codes of Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
The countries use four-digit numeric post codes, sorted by geographical
location. Format of postal codes
The Swiss postal codes are assigned geographically, from west to east. They
don't follow political divisions, but they follow a routing allocation,
following railways and post car routes. The postal code of big cities finish
with 00, and it is not allocated if in the region there isn't a big center.
Switzerland is divided into nine postal districts, numbered from west to east.
Each district is subdivided into postal areas. Each area contains a maximum of
one hundred units. The postal codes are made up as follows:
3436 Zollbrück 3 = district
34 = area 343 = route
3436 = post office number Today, the third digit has no real
meaning anymore. In the past, mail was assigned to fixed railway or truck
routes, but modern logistics do not need this practice anymore.
Postal codes of Liechtenstein are included in the same structure, using
the range from 9480 to 9499. As special cases:
the Italian territory of Campione has the postal code 6911 for mail passing
through Swiss post. also located in Italy, the Swiss post
office in Domodossola has the code 3907. the German territory of Büsingen has the
postal code 8238 for mail passing through Swiss post.
