Zürich Switzerland
by Peter Lemstra

Zürich gained international fame as a banking town and
for being the world's cleanest and most pleasant city to
reside in. Throughout recent years, Zürich is increasingly
influenced by big-city and multicultural influences and
while maintaining its calm and idyllic character untill
today, its burstling downtown provides in plenty of bars,
restaurants and entertainment.

Blessed with its natural setting, including a large
lake, two rivers, tree-covered hills and the snowcapped
Alpine mountain peaks aligned on the horizon, Zürich is
undisputedly one of the most beautiful cities in
Switzerland. If not, in the world!

The medieval old town of
Zürich is divided by the river
Limmat and its churches, medieval guild halls and narrow
alleys give the historical centre a charming ambience. On
the east bank of the river, the part called Niederdof is the
place where most bars and nightlife is concentrated.
Filled with the crowds of the nearby University, this part of
the old town is a lively place under the shadows of the
majestic Grossmünster church. Thehistorical centre of
Zürich is situated on the west bank, with the St. Peter's
and Fraumünster churces as its main landmarks.
Here you will find a variety of exclusive shops and
boutiques and the extensive Bahnhofstrasse is
considered as one of the most prestigious shopping
streets in Europe.

Despite its image as a conservative and tranquil city,

Zürich
offers a lot of entertainment, culture as well as a
vibrant nightlife. Being a center for contemporary art and
offering its visitors a wide variety of interesting museums,
galleries and cultural events,
Zürich is definitely a good
place to stick around in for a few days. Old factories has
been transformed into trendy restaurants or nightclubs
and gives the city the dynamics of any world city.
Zürich
is also a good base for day trips to popular destinations
like Baden and Winterthur.
