Visit Zürich
Zurich, the largest city in Switzerland, is a picturesque destination that boasts both modern and traditional charm. Located on the banks of Lake Zurich and surrounded by the Alps, it's one of Europe's most beautiful cities.
The cobblestone streets are lined with quaint boutiques and restaurants offering local specialties such as cheese fondue, raclette and spicy sausages. Tourists can explore Zurich's rich history with visits to its many museums, including the Swiss National Museum and Kunsthaus Zurich. For a bird's-eye view of Zurich's stunning landscape, take a ride up to Uetliberg Mountain via aerial tramway.
In addition to its beauty and attractions, Zurich has an interesting past as well. During World War II it served as a refuge for hundreds of Jewish refugees who managed to flee Nazi persecution in other parts of Europe. Today there are over 10 synagogues in Zurich that commemorate this period in history.
