Vibrant and dynamic city situated near the lake with stunning views of the Swiss alps rising nearby. It is only 10 minutes from Unique International Airport in Kloten. Zurich shapes the economy and cultural life of Switzerland both in equal measure. Those financial and cultural importance and historic centres are compact enough to be explored by foot. One of the most familiar and popular spots are the two churches facing solemnly each other across the River Limmat (Grossmünster and Fraumünster), St. Peter Church, the National Museum and its very own mountain Uetliberg . The River Limmat winds through the town, dividing the city in half. Colorful window boxes with hanging flowers or greens adorning the brick apartment buildings, museums, old buildings and more, attracts many foreign visitors and the local ones as well. The lakeside is one of the city's pride with its grassy parks and gardens that serves as a hive of activity during summer months. The Arboretum within the city are also popular as a meeting places for everyone. |
