Zurich, Switzerland Travel Guide - What To See & Do

Our illustrated travel guide will take you to Zürich, the largest city in Switzerland.

Zurich is the financial centre of Switzerland and because of the city's close distance to tourist resorts in the Swiss Alps and its mountainous scenery, it is often referred to as the "portal to the Alps".

Zurich has long been known for being clean and efficient and it has been ranked as the city with the highest living standard worldwide for many years.
