Overview

Famous for those legendary Swiss bank accounts and recognized as one of the world's financial centers, Z�rich is the largest � and perhaps, most important � city in Switzerland. It's also visually striking, with the River Limmat snaking through and the snow covered Alps looming in the background. Being fairly compact for a major European city, Z�rich is perhaps best seen on foot. Cultural attractions are many. Z�rich boasts over two dozen museums, including the renowned Kunsthaus and the intriguing Swiss National Museum. As for distinctive architecture, check out the twin towers at Grossm�nster Cathedral, as well as the seventeenth century Rathus, which is Zurich's baroque town hall. Shoppers will want to stroll down the cosmopolitan Bahnhofstrasse. For the best dining and entertainment, take in Niederdorf, which is the historic old town in city center.
