Visiting Zurich
Switzerland's largest city, on a lake framed by mountains, combining a compact old town with a major financial centre. Despite its wealth and reputation for formality, its lake and rivers are clean enough for locals to swim in through summer.
Best time to visit: May to September for lake swimming and outdoor life, or December for Christmas markets.
Landmarks & highlights
- Lake Zurich
A large lake at the city's edge, popular for swimming, boat trips, and lakeside walks.
- Old Town (Altstadt)
The historic centre on both banks of the Limmat river, with narrow lanes and guild houses.
- Grossmünster
A twin-towered Romanesque church associated with the Swiss Reformation.
- Bahnhofstrasse
One of the world's most exclusive shopping streets, running from the main station toward the lake.
Local tip: Public transport (trains, trams, boats) runs on a single integrated ticket system — a day pass is usually the simplest option for visitors.
Getting around: Zurich's trams and trains are punctual and cover the city thoroughly, though the compact old town is also easy to explore entirely on foot.
Good to know: Locals genuinely swim in the Limmat river and Lake Zurich through summer — public bathing spots (badis) dot both, and jumping in is a normal warm-weather activity, not just for tourists.
