We left on the Friday afternoon flying into Zurich and arriving at the airport about 6.30pm local time.
Zurich is the largest City in Switzerland but not actually the capitol.
There are lots of things to see in this beautiful city with its river and lake, and surrounding mountains. Bahnhofstrasse with its designer shops where most people including me can only afford to browse!
The old town, with its cobbled streets, cafes, restaurants, bars and adult entertainment galore!
Winding streets, churches, steeples and the famous clock tower of St. Peters.
So much to do and see in a weekend but we feel we saw a lot, even travelling up the mountain in a cable car and then throwing snowballs at each other :-)
- Pros:Excellent transport system for getting around
- Cons:Very expensive!
- In a nutshell:A great place to visit, but in January you need your thermals!
