Zurichis Switzerland’s largest city and a dynamic blend of old-world charm and modern cosmopolitan energy. Nestled at the northern tip of Lake Zurich and surrounded by rolling hills, it’s a hub for banking, culture, and innovation. Despite its reputation as a financial capital, Zurich offers an exceptional quality of life, clean streets, efficient public transport, and a vibrant lifestyle that appeals to both residents and travelers.
The heart of the city lies in its Altstadt (Old Town), where narrow cobblestone streets wind between medieval buildings, historic churches like Grossmünster and Fraumünster, and cozy cafés. Bahnhofstrasse, one of the world’s most exclusive shopping avenues, stretches from the main train station to the lake and offers a mix of luxury boutiques and global brands. Along the river Limmat, you’ll find charming promenades and scenic bridges perfect for a relaxed stroll.
Zurich is also a major cultural center, home to more than 50 museums and 100 art galleries, including the acclaimed Kunsthaus Zürich and the Swiss National Museum. In the summer, locals flock to lakefront parks and public swimming areas, while winter offers easy access to the nearby Swiss Alps. The city also has a lively nightlife, especially in districts like Zürich West, where old factories have been converted into bars, clubs, and creative spaces.
Experience luxury and adventure together as you travel some of Europe's most breathtaking rail routes, passing through well-known tourist spots and taking in stunning landscapes, tunnels, and mountains.
