Zürich
Your getaway to Zürich
Not sure what kind of Zürich trip you want? Take a bit of everything. Morning in the old town, wandering the Niederdorf and up to Lindenhof for the view. Ride the Polybahn funicular just because it's charming. Lunch on rösti or Geschnetzeltes at a buzzing old beer hall. Spend the afternoon by the lake — promenade stroll, swans, maybe a swim. Hop a tram to Zürich West for coffee under the railway arches. Pick one museum, the Kunsthaus or the Landesmuseum, and give it an honest hour. Take the train up Uetliberg for sunset over the city and the Alps. Dinner in Kreis 4, where the options range from fondue to everything else. A balanced taste of the city, and a reason to come back for seconds.
