With the Alps providing a spectacular backdrop, and nestling between rivers and lakes, the charming metropolis of Zurich offers first-class quality of life. By following the trail of the past, you can discover the present, such as in Zurich's well-preserved Old Town or in the trendy Zurich-West quarter. Zurich is characterized by its broad choice of leisure activities, while the most tightly-packed calendar of events in Switzerland and the city's over 50 museums and more than 100 art galleries provide a rich array of cultural highlights. Whether on a boat trip on Lake Zurich or an excursion to the top of the Uetliberg, allow your gaze to sweep across the snow-capped mountains in the distance and let your spirit soar. After dark, some 500 bars and clubs provide a wide variety of entertainment. Zurich is the ideal departure point for all kinds of excursions: visitors can touch snow and perpetual ice on the Titlis mountain, wonder at Europe's largest waterfall, the Rhine Falls, or visit a chocolate factory - and all within a short traveling distance from Zurich.
