Zurich

Q: What is Zurich Best Known For?

Zurich is known for its art and history, shopping, and good views. You can visit its many museums like the Swiss National Museum and Museum Rietberg, go shopping at Bahnhofstrasse, or sightsee at Uetliberg or Lindenhof. Other activities include taking a ferry across Lake Zurich or visiting heritage sites like the Grossmünster.

Q: When is the Best Time to Visit Zurich?

Visit Zurich from May-November for clearer weather and to enjoy events like the Street Parade in August, the Weltklasse Zürich, and the Zürich Festival, a summer festival held every three years. If you visit during the winter months, you’ll get to partake in the city’s lively Christmas markets and maybe even try some gluhwein.

Q: Where is the Best Location for Tourists to Stay in Zurich?

Stay at District 1, Altstadt, or Werd if you’d like to be near the city’s museums, shops, and restaurants. For nightlife, try Aussersihl, Escher Wyss, or Gewerbeschule. Visitors who would like to experience Zurich’s waterscapes can choose between Seefeld and Enge.

The beautiful city of Zurich is an unmissable stop on your Switzerland tour! It's home to century-old architecture, luxury malls, and pre-medieval history!

To get a glimpse of the old town, head up Lindenhof Hill to see amazing views of the city! You can also opt to cruise along Lake Zurich for something more close up. Some must-see hotspots in the city include the Fraumunster Church and its stunning stained glass windows, and the city's shopping haven - Bahnhofstrasse! If you prefer something more lowkey, a hike up Mount Uetliberg where you will get fantastic views of the city from the famous Swiss Alps!
