Zurich is great. Excellent for design, shopping, laid back pubs and some sightseeing. Quite expensive, but who cares when it's such a nice place - clean, cool and cultural. The Chinese garden is a perfect visit if you want a walk out of town. Don't miss the Alprausch shop, Swiss designed street...more Zurich is great.

GO TO THE MOUNTAINS! In the train station they have TONS of tips available for tourists in the tourist information booth. Definitely check those out. Don't get the Zurich Card unless you plan on doing a lot of museums, but definitely plan on doing a sightseeing tour in the mountains - great...more GO TO THE MOUNTAINS!

They had guns and shit, I couldnt do anything, aw well long story short story, I lost fucking 1000 euros plus my camera and my phone, so thats the reason I'm not sending sms anymore, I went to the police, but you know, i'm just tourist no one gives a shit about it. But now i'm fine, my dad send me some money, I'll beall right for the rest of the trip! But still Switzerland suposed to be one of the safest country in the world, but the true is, your not safe anymore doesn't metter where you are. I'm taking the hostel group to the international court to see if I get some sort of compensation! aw well, now is part of the past and just another story to tell later!close

I can't say I enjoyed the little bit of Zurich that I saw. I was going to spend two days there, but the weather was very bad and I chose to go to Lugano and Lucerne instead.

I would not choose to spend time there again; though, perhaps I did not give it a fair chance.close

Zurich has an incredible nightlife scene, as well as high end shopping and tourism during the day. For the best experience, I'd recommend Zurich to a younger audience looking for fun, or someone with a lot of money to burn at the expensive hotels, stores, and restaurants. Either go budget, or go...more Zurich has an incredible nightlife scene, as well as high end shopping and tourism during the day. For the best experience, I'd recommend Zurich to a younger audience looking for fun, or someone with a lot of money to burn at the expensive hotels, stores, and restaurants.
