Overview:
Zurich, Switzerland, is the most
beautiful of Swiss cities, astride a river and turned towards a
crystal-clear lake and distant snowy peaks, has plenty to keep
you amused. The medieval Old Town, characterized by steep,
cobbled alleys and attractive, small-scale architecture,
comprises a substantial part of the city centre and is perfect
for exploratory wanderings. With a handful of medieval churches
to take in, a spectacular art gallery, the most engaging café
culture in German-speaking Switzerland and a wealth of
nightlife, you could easily spend days here. To do so, however,
you’ll have to marry up the appeal of the place with its
expense – prohibitive even by Swiss standards. Alternatively,
you could base yourself in either of two towns near Zurich –
Winterthur or Baden – both of which have museums and galleries
of their own, and much more affordable accommodation than
you’ll find in Zurich itself.
