Located on Lake Zurich (Zurichsee, in German), Zurich has always been a favourite holiday destination for the local bourgeoisie, not least because of its beautiful panorama, historic centre and exceptionally mild climate. With a small city centre, Zurich is easy to visit on foot. It is recommended to take your time to visit Lindenhof, a charming district that takes its name from a square surrounded by lime trees. Then, let's go to the medieval streets of Schipfe and their old houses with their characteristic facades! The largely pedestrian district of Niederdorf offers many shops, bars and restaurants, lively day and night. It is also home to Grossmünster Cathedral, a major site of the Protestant reform

The lake is bordered by superb walks, especially in summer, from Quaibrücke. You can also swim there, especially in the baths of the Utoquai, with their distinctive style. For those who prefer rivers, several swimming pools are available along the Limmat River, right in the city centre! Want to climb up? All you have to do is take the train to Uetliberg, from the main station via line 10. This mountain, which rises to almost 1000 metres, and which can be reached in about thirty minutes, overlooks the city and the lake. Beautiful views guaranteed, and the possibility of hiking to the summits!

With its rich sporting and cultural activities, abundant shopping, Zurich is a destination of choice for couples! The mythical Banhofstrasse and its international luxury boutiques will satisfy lovers of the big brands! Lindenhof is famous for its antique dealers while Niederdorf is home to the city's most fashionable shops. It is also a good idea to take a leisurely stroll along the shores of Lake Zurich or relax in the Thermalbad thermal baths, located in a former brewery. The view of the city is exceptional in the evening, from the swimming pool! An unforgettable experience for two!

To discover Zurich on the move, you have to go to the west side of the city, to Aussersihl, a popular, international and booming suburb. It is home to most of the young hopes of local fashion and design who are well established. Zurich is also one of the leading European techno cities. Parties are scheduled all year round, and it is essential to go at least once to one of these discos, true temples of the Zurich night: the Oxale, the Kanzlei, the X-Tra.

It is a district of the old medieval town, located on the eastern bank of the Limmat River. Do not hesitate to go into the unknown narrow streets and get lost in them, it is delightful! And it's also a good place to go out at night!

Half Gruyère, half Vacherin, the best local fondues are served with Dezaley or Zunfthaus zur Zimmerleuten. For this last restaurant, a small peculiarity exists: we eat the fondue outside, summer and winter!

The boats leave from Bürkliplatz, at the end of Bahnhofstrasse. The most spectacular sunsets on the lake can be seen in the Obersee region!

Known in German as the "Kunsthaus", it houses one of the most important collections in Switzerland and gives a prominent place to modern painting, particularly French painting

Every summer, Zurich is overwhelmed by thousands of visitors who come to celebrate this great techno festival, which has nothing to envy to other events of the same kind in Europe. A hundred artists perform in different parts of the city, to the delight of partygoers!
