Zurich is a beautiful city but be prepared to spend some money. It is one of the most expensive cities in the world. And since they are not a part of the European Union, they use the Swiss Franc currency. The city is very friendly to walkers and there is a lot to see.
Firstly,this is the biggest city in Switz but it's not the capital.U can find the paradise of shopping centers in there,night life is great if compare to another cities. Secondly,if u leave in there for a week,u get bored quickly,believe me it's true.Just in the center of the city is always crowded the other side is look like the country ...
Bigger city feel, rather bustling place. Most locals I encountered spoke German, just for a heads-up. It's nice just to wander the streets and end up in the local department stores, everything was rather expensive, so come prepared for that!

Many travellers find Switzerland to be dull and boring. Well, if they ever had visited my home village...they certainly would understand now what dull and boring actually means.

nice city
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/05/06
nice city overall although at the time we came there which was for new years everything was closed including museums and galleries. city architecture is nice and everything works well. people are nice and friendly but it seems there are no lifes in them. they do not dance, do not smile and just no excitment. hotel was great and very professional. ...
Not only is the place pretty as a picture, its people are one of the most polite and helpful of all the European cities I've been too...I was looking for a hotel that suited my budget and the concierge of another hotel directed me to this quaint and cheaper place just a block away from the train station!

When I arrived was not expecting the temperatures being so cold. There was snow on the ground. Was not clothed for the weather. But if I had proper clothes I would have done more things. I was there only 24 hours. Have a friend there now and would love to see them. Unfortunate, but I do not have their address. But is now in hospital there.
