Zurich
A lake, a shopping street with a reputation, and the Alps ninety minutes away.
Zurich is Switzerland’s financial centre and its main gateway, with a compact medieval core, Chagall windows in the Fraumünster and a lake people swim in through the summer. Its real advantage is position: the Alps are close enough to make it a base rather than a stop.
