Zurich, Switzerland

by al_mary - last update: Dec 31, 2007

The "Little Big City" Of Switzerland

Historic Zurich

Initially only a little more than 7 days was spent here, but now we
plan to return to spend some time exploring the nooks & crannies.

Amongst its traditional Churches, cathedrals, building and monuments,
Zurich is also home to Europe's leading Zoo: "Zoo Dolder".

Various walks can be taken in this town where most of its attractions are
reachable by foot and nearby the town centre.

Its pedestrian streets host the cafes and bars but do not forget to visit the
beerhalls to tickle your taste buds.

This city is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe with astonishing
backdrops with its crystal clear Zurich Lake and its amazingly clean
narrow streets.

The quickest way to get around Zurich is use the reliable and regular public
transport such as the buses and the Trams. The public transport in Zurich
is very user friendly and enables you to get around town in no time ......

The Narrow Side Streets

Shopping In Zurich


Bahnhofstrasse is every shoppers
dream land. With endless rows of
shops from fashion, jewellery and
various other goods.

For the designer labels shops you
should head to Bahnhofstrasse to
the Grieder.

You will off course find the traditional
Swiss leather goods shops and various
handicraft shops all around town ......

Night Life In Zurich


The most popular area to visit
at night in Zurich would be the
old town on Niederdorfstrasse
or Oberdorstrasse which always
pull crowds.

The city has an amazing dynamic
club scene whichcovers all genres.

The most well known club is U4,
however there are plenty more
around the city. If you visit in the
summer one of the clubs to visit
is Volksgarten Disco as its roof
can be retracted to reveal the sky.
