Downtown Switzerland

Cosmopolitan Zurich, with its lakeside location, historic buildings and lovely parks, is Switzerland’s largest city, its leading business and financial centre and one of Europe’s most fashionable destinations.

Zurich also provides a wide range of cultural delights, including museums, art galleries, concerts, opera, ballet and musicals. The surrounding countryside offers some of the loveliest landscapes in Europe, from the gentle shores of the lakes to towering mountain peaks, from quaint villages to tilted Alpine meadows – all easily accessible via Switzerland’s efficient public transport system.

The Bahnhofstrasse, Zurich’s main thoroughfare and one of Europe’s famous shopping areas, is full of sophisticated shopping emporiums, department stores, confectioners, inviting cafés and renowned banks.
