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.
Built between the wooded slopes of the Uetliberg and the Zurichberg,
Zurich is split by the Limmat River. There is no finer pleasure to
be had in Zurich than walking along its quays, which line the banks
of the Limmat and Lake Zurich. Sailboats and motorboats take
visitors across Lake Zurich. Zurich's Altstadt or Old Town is one of
the most intriguing in Switzerland, with two giant cathedrals and
dozens of streets ideal for exploring at leisure. It is also a city
of parks and gardens, with a particularly outstanding botanical
garden. |
