Zürich - World Class. Swiss Made.

As a "metropolis of experiences" by the water, with a magnificent view of the snowcapped

Alps on the horizon, Zürich Downtown Switzerland offers a unique mixture of attractions – over 50 museums and more than 100 art galleries, shopping paradise with international brands, traditional businesses and urban Zürich labels, and the most flamboyant and lively nightlife in Switzerland. Recreational activities range from a visit to the riverside and lakeside bathing areas in the very heart of the city, to a spectacular hike on the Uetliberg mountain. Zürich is like a gourmet menu – its secret

lies in the quality of the ingredients.

A Wealth of Art in More than 50 Museums and Over 100 Art Galleries

A typical feature of Zürich is its high concentration of art galleries. The city alone is home to over 50 museums, some 14 of which are devoted to art. Art can also be experienced outside of museums and galleries, for example, by paying a visit to the Giacometti Hall at the Zürich City Police headquarters, the choir at the Fraumünster Church with its stained glass windows by Marc Chagall or, outside in the open air, Jean Tinguely's "Eureka" sculpture on the banks of Lake Zürich.

Shopping – Unlimited shopping pleasure

The people of Zürich call shopping for pleasure "Lädelen" or "looking around the shops" –

and there are almost no limits to this in Zürich. Every quarter of the town has it own

individuality in shopping terms. The world famous Bahnhofstrasse in Zürich has made a

major contribution to Zürich's reputation as a shopping paradise. It is the first port of call for

lovers of luxury: watches and jewellery glint not only in the windows of Beyer, Bucherer, or

Türler; top class fashion and accessories may also be found at Bally, Bongénie Grieder, or

Feldpausch; top international brands can be found everywhere, and even the department

stores Jelmoli or Globus may surprise you.

In Zürich's Old Town on the banks of the Limmat, trend and tradition meet: The traditional

Schipfe quarter has now become a crafts quarter. At Schwarzenbach Kolonialwaren, you

can make the same purchases as over 100 years ago.
