Interesting facts about Zurich
The largest city of Switzerland, Zurich has many sides; a global financial centre, an historic city dating back to Roman times, a river city with the Alps far in the distance. Whatever it is to you there’s bound to be much to see and do both in this charming Swiss city and outside it in the beautiful countryside of Switzerland. The industrial area of Zurich-West has become a centre of modern art, avant-garde theatre and lively nightlife, and Zurich has been dubbed as a "New Berlin". Old warehouses host galleries, bars and gourmet restaurants and the new soundscape of old factory workshops varies from jazz to electronic music. Our Zurich travel guide picks out the best things to see and do in Zurich on your next Swiss adventure. The central feature of Zurich has to be the Limmat river which lazily flows northwards from Lake Zurich, upon which the city sits. Clear and calm water provide many opportunities to enjoy yourself, from a ferry ride to a swim in the lake at one of the many beaches or for boating on the lake itself. One of Zurich’s most famous sights is the Grossmünster church. For over 800 years it has stood watch over the city and its twin towers are an easily identifiable landmark during your wanderings around town. Sitting across the river is its companion church the Fraumünster, a beautiful example of Gothic architecture. The Swiss National Museum gives visitors a unique insight into the history of this small country and of Zurich itself from ancient times to the modern day. To see Switzerland’s best collection of art head to the Kunsthaus Museum where you can admire classic pieces alongside contemporary Swiss works. Top your day off with a beautiful view over the city and to the alps by riding the Polybahn up the hill from the central town square to a hilltop neighbourhood. Switzerland is a prosperous country known for its high standard of living so naturally prices are quite high and shopping in Zurich can be quite expensive. If you can look past this you can enjoy some fine shopping throughout the city, especially if you’re after luxury goods. Zurich’s cuisine is representative of Switzerland’s as a whole but with a few local specialities mixed in that are must-tries. Food & drink in Zurich is rich and hearty and reminiscent of neighbours France and Germany. Zurich’s transport system (ZVV) is known as an efficient, reliable and safe way to get around the city. It covers all main forms of transport found in the city. Multi-day cards are especially useful for getting around town.SIGHTS IN ZURICH
