PartyRambo's new Zurich Page

by PartyRambo - last update: Mar 25, 2003

What can I say about Zurich? It's no coincidence that part of Zurich is 'rich'! The Bahnhofstrasse (pictured) is the most expensive shopping street in Europe!
It doesn't feel that way, however - I've lived near Yorkville in Toronto, been to Manhattan's 5th Avenue, wandered through Los Angeles' Rodeo Drive, worked near Regent Street in London, and strolled Tokyo's Ginza on a Sunday afternoon... and the Bahnhofstrasse is the least pretentious of the lot.
Coffee? Tea? No, COFFEE!

Unusual sites

The Johannes-Jacobs coffee museum is one of the oddest, and nicest, stops I've seen in my travels.

(See my travelogue under Must-See Activities)

Unusual sites, part 2

There is an annual spring "art show" that takes place in the streets of Zurich. Companies sponsor artists to design street benches, perhaps with a theme for the company, perhaps at the artist's discretion.
I snapped about 170 of them before calling it a day...
You never know who you'll bump into in Zurich...

Pros:"Wealth, wealth, everywhere - see "Con's""
Cons:"It's expensive... see "Pro's""
In A Nutshell:"Better to be rich in Zurich than poor in... Kuala Lumpur?"
