Very good hotel with sooo many Pillows!!!
by ilovenewjersey about Renaissance Zurich Hotel
The hotel is near the airport. You can take tram #10 from the Airport(aprox. 15 minutes) it stops right infront of the Hotel about 4 or 5 stops( GLATTPARK station). Use tram #11(across tram #10 Glattpark station) to go to the Old town, shopping center, main train station(Haufbanhof HB), and etc. takes you there in 20 to 30 minutes. it has less frequent stops and longer hours at night. I would get a "DAY pass" to use the tram, train, bus, to get around Zurich. Most of the tourist attractions are within the Haufbanhoff HB or main train station’s area. Avail of your daypass by hopping-in and hopping-off Trams. Go to the Old town, see the park and the lake.

Organizing 3 nights in Zurich and Geneva
by baron1970
I will be arriving in Zurich on January 4th, 9.00 am by train. So could anyone suggest me what to do next until my flight on January 7th from Geneva?
I will be staying for one night in Zurich at Renaissance Zurich Hotel and two nights at Warwick Hotel in Geneva? Any comments about the hotels? I will be travelling with my wife and 3,5 years old daughter. Any ideas for transportation from the train station to Renaissance Zurich Hotel + Zurich to Warwick hotel in Geneva? Train or car considering the weather? Nice places to eat, for shopping and for our daughter? I know I asked too much, but I appreciate your answers.

i lived not far from zurich for several years back before 1970 . i also have stopped there many times between 1970 and 1980 when i worked for the tour division of a major airline. my friends and i found it to be one of the better places in europe to shop.
try the government run or sponsored web site for tourist information.
look for link to one on switzerland here ( www.towd.com )
once at this site you may be able to find a link to a goverment run or sponsored site for zurich and geneva.
the old swiss air airlines use to have some great links on their page.
the new swiss airlines might also.
