Switzerland, one of Europe’s perennially popular travel destinations,
has fascinated American travelers ever since the days of the legendary
Grand Tour. While its reputation for apres-ski chicness, Heidi-like
mountain villages and outstanding world-class hotels is renowned among
tourists, if you peel back the promotional veneer you’ll discover a
multifaceted destination that transcends the tourist-brochure hype and
provides a world of experiences for the more sophisticated traveler.
Zurich lies not only in the heart of Europe but also in the hearts of
those who have made the city the top destination in Switzerland. Set on
the northern shores of Lake Zurich with a magnificent view of the
snowcapped Alps on the horizon, Zurich’s multicultural flair and variety
of leisure activities makes it popular with travelers from all over the
world.
The city’s downtown offers a unique mixture of attractions – over 50
museums and more than 100 art galleries, shops selling international
fashion labels as well as Zurich designs, and the most flamboyant and
lively nightlife in the country. Recreational activities range from
sailing on the lake in the very heart of the city, to a spectacular hike
on the Uetliberg Mountain.
The city is easy to reach, by train, plane or car. Its international
airport is only a 10-minute train ride from downtown and Zurich’s Main
Railway Station is regarded as a central European railroad hub.
