Zürich

Zürich is Switzerland's largest city and its cultural and financial heart. Nestled at the northern tip of Lake Zürich with the Alps on the horizon, it combines urban sophistication with stunning natural beauty.

Stroll through the charming Old Town (Altstadt) with its medieval lanes, visit world-class museums like the Kunsthaus, or shop along the famous Bahnhofstrasse — one of the world's most exclusive shopping streets. In summer, locals swim in the lake and the Limmat river. In winter, the Christmas markets transform the city into a fairytale.
