Zurich is the place to go
by Rina120
Zurich is clean, beautiful, curlturally diverse, alive in all types of weather, visually stunning and simply a great city! Dining on Nederforstrasse and people watching. THis is definately the street to sit and sip on a coffee or a beer. Tons of people to watch and see. At christmas time, the streets are adorned with lights and merchants. There are hidden alleywayswith restaurants, cafes, and stores just waiting to be explored.
On saturday by the market, thereis live music with these two guys. ONe plays a cello, the other the oboe. It's just wonderful to sit and listen to while drinkingin your surroundings.
Outside Zurich
by Toyin
Zurich is interesting, however, there are spectacular towns and villages outside Zurich that makes Swiss a delight for tourists. A drive from Zurich to Davos is what I would recomend for any one planning to go to Zurich.
It is about two hours during winter, as you must drive with utmost care. The hotels here in Davos are a little expensive, so I recommend you base in Zurich and make a day run and back.
Street Parade

The Street Parade is nowadays the largest technoparade in the world and also the largest annual event in Zurich.
It usually takes place around the corner of Lake Zurich on the second Saturday in August.
The motto of the 16th Street Parade in August 2007 was "Respect". It was attended by about 800.000 young people. Techno and dance music was offered by various Love Mobiles and from five stages.
Among the top artists of the 2007 Street Parade was the German Top DJ Paul van Dyk.
Though Zurich is a great...
by Michael_D
Though Zurich is a great jump-off point for places like Kloten and Zug..I find that Bern is a better central base-point for seeing a greater variety of sights. I always visit Zurich, but I stay in Bern/Interlaken as a rule.Switzerland ranks as my favorite travel destination. Its natural beauty , excellent services and ease of getting around is a huge plus.
The only downside is it is a bit expensive..oh not Scandanavian/expensive..but pretty close.Switzerland is one country where reasearching bed/breakfasts and hostels will pay off if you are on a budget. If youre hearty enough and the weather co-operates it may be the best camping in all of Europe.

Well.well! It's a unique Restaurant.Getting a table there is as hard as learning German Language;) But it's really worth it.But don't be surprise if you go out of that restaurant and you have stain in your clothes.This place has no lights inside!
