Money does indeed make the world go round, and Zürich is here to prove it. It's a sober, responsible, business-oriented town but, despite rumors to the contrary, is not just for the boringly wealthy. It's Switzerland's most populous city and offers plenty of cultural diversions. Chocolate bars will battle gold bars for your attention, the town boasts free bicycle loans, and a varied cycle of festivals keeps the people hopping. Visitors - not all of them wearing neckties - can explore galleries, the pedestrian streets of the old town and Zürich's lakeside setting.
Switzerland's largest city is surely among the most beautiful in all of Europe, and even today, Zurich retains much of its 19th-century charm. Situated on the northern shore of Lake Zurich in the heart of the country, the city is both large enough to offer all amenities to its visitors and small enough for you to discover on your own.
Besides fabulous museums and interesting historic buildings, there is always the nearby Alpine beauty to explore. Also, don't forget to sample the divinely soul-satisfying chocolates (try the champagne truffles if you dare), the apfelastrudel, and the locally produced white Riesling Sylvaner. However you decide to spend your time, visiting Zurich is an enchanting journey at every encounter – and Sasha will help you to make the most out of your trip to this city.
