Things to do in Zurich

Zurich lines the River Limmat where it leaves Lake Zurich, with the twin towers of the Grossmünster and the slim spire of the Fraumünster rising over the old town. It is a city of guild houses, lakeside swimming spots and serious chocolate.

It is also Switzerland's main transport hub. Lucerne and Mount Titlis, the Bernese Oberland around Interlaken and the Rhine Falls are all within a day's return trip.
