What is Switzerland all about? One could use many words to describe this complex and proud country, but you'd probably settle on some mix of efficient, beautiful, and cool. Zurich effortlessly and perfectly captures all these qualities. Zurich is well-located in the heart of Switzerland’s German-speaking region. The nearby international airport and well-connected train network make Zurich a popular stopover for a night or two. This small city contains a disproportionate amount of energy — contained and regulated with typical Swiss precision.
The Bahnhofstrasse offers world-class shopping with some of the most prestigious and exclusive brands in existence. Hordes of shoppers descend on the street to wander by the shops, which are often as beautiful and elegant as their contents. Lindenhof Hill is the perfect platform to appreciate Zurich from above. Gazing out, you’ll see the famous Grossmünster towers, a Romanesque church that offers its own impressive views.
Like so many other Swiss towns, Zurich boasts its own eponymous, picturesque lake, which provides ample opportunity for boat trips. There are restaurants by the lake where visitors can sit and enjoy local delicacies like Zurcher Geschnetzeltes (veal), or simply drink in the sublime scenery. After a day of exploring, Zurich presents endless opportunities for relaxation and fun. Cafes, restaurants, and bars coat the streets of this city, filled with that special air of cool sophistication. Join the locals for a glass of Cüpli, sparkling wine, and bask in the apéro mood as the city’s buzzing business sector winds down for the day. Zurich is a place where all of Switzerland’s finest qualities coalesce. It’s a place for sophistication, elegance, and finery.
