Switzerlands largest city is among the most beautiful in Europe. Its location on the shores of Lake Zurich and the charming Old Town, full of lovely restored buildings and narrow streets, make this one of the most popular destinations in the world. Besides being one of the worlds leading financial centres, Zurich is also a prominent cultural and artistic city. Extraordinary museums and galleries complement the amazing range of high-class shopping along the Bahnhofstrasse and the renovated industrial neighbourhood of Zurich West. Much of Zurichs attraction lies in the city itself. Wandering around the ancient streets of the Old Town, stopping at a quaint cafe for an afternoon pastry and watching the distinctly Swiss blend of orderly living is what makes Zurich so special.
