The financial & commercial capital of German speaking Switzerland. I needed to visit on business, in Jan 2007, and returned 13 months later. In 2010<\/strong>, it began to be a second home, travelling through it to Zermatt (flickr pictures<\/a>) and Budapest (flickr pictures<\/a>) and needing to work on projects in Zurich West. When I started travelling again, in 2023, I found that a number of flights from LCY involved changing at Zurich Airport and in the Autumn of 2024, I plan to stay overnight on my way to Venice.

Things to do<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We spent the weekend walking around the old town and visited the Kunsthaus, the ferry quay with its views down the lake, the Lindhof park, the old botanical gardens, the University for its views over the town and the Fraumunster<\/a> with its Chagal & Giacometto stained glass windows.

Hotels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These first two are recommended by the business travel agent, and neither are in the rough guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
