Canton of Zug, Canton in Central Switzerland
The Canton of Zug extends across 239 square kilometers, encompassing eleven municipalities with the city of Zug as its administrative capital at 425 meters elevation.
The Canton of Zug formally joined the Swiss Confederation in 1352, marking its establishment as an independent territory within the growing federation of Swiss states.
The Canton maintains multiple museums documenting regional prehistory, while traditional celebrations include an annual cherry market festival during spring season.
The territory connects to major Swiss destinations through an integrated public transportation network of trains and buses operating from early morning until late evening.
The region transformed from an agricultural territory into a global financial center, drawing numerous technology companies and establishing itself as Crypto Valley.
