(Switzerland)


Zürich isn't the bland Singapore of Europe: Ignore the clichés!

We know what you're thinking, but honestly this is not the boring banking capital it's reputed to be. In fact Zürich is - whisper it softly - surprisingly hip and trendy. Hundreds of new bars, restaurants and clubs have opened since planning laws were changed in the late 1990s and Zürich now hosts Europe's largest annual street party.

At a Glance
Getting Around:

There is a comprehensive, unified and extremely efficient bus, tram and S-Bahn service in the city, which includes boats on the Limmat River (although not cruise boats on the lake). Tickets allow you to switch between modes of transport as you like. There's a 24-hour city pass, and a 24-hour pass valid for unlimited travel within the whole canton of Zürich. Taxis in Zürich are expensive and almost always unnecessary; even high-earning bankers tend to catch the trams.

Weather:

Zürich does not experience extreme weather. Winter, and the snow season, starts in November and continues through to April. Temperatures range between 5°C (41°F) and -5°C (23°F) in winter. Rain starts falling in April and continues across the summer period, which officially starts in June and continues through to September. Zürich rarely gets to 30°C (86°F) in summer and rarely experiences uncomfortable humidity.
