Your country's embassy or consulate is invaluable in case of an emergency.
Embassies are usually able to supply information on local lawyers, doctors and interpreters as well as help in the case of stolen or lost passports and travel documents. Embassies and consulates are less likely to help out their foreign nationals in the case of petty drugs charges, traffic violations or other minor crimes of infractions.
As well as their embassies located in the Swiss capital Bern, some countries operate consulates in other cities such as Geneva and Zurich.
Check the embassy website where possible for further details.
