As far as lifestyle and quality of life is concerned, the financial and banking city at the northern end of Lake Zurich is regularly ranked among the leaders by Europe’s fashion and trend magazines.
Every devout shopper will get their money’s worth in this city which sits astride the river Limmat. Along Bahnhofstrasse you’ll find shops catering for all budgets as well as stylish designer stores offering jewellery and clothing fashions. Small boutiques and alternative shops abound in the old town side streets in Niederdorf and invite shoppers to linger and take their time.
The popularity of Zurich’s nightlife is well-known far beyond Switzerland’s borders. Around 500 nightclubs and bars provide a range of entertainment for every taste until the early morning hours. In summer, you’ll even find nightlife assuming a presence in Zurich’s swimming baths as they transform themselves into enticing bars with a multicultural ambience after sunset.

By international comparison, Zurich has remained a small town. Yet the largest city in Switzerland offers all the advantages of a pulsating international metropolis and skilfully combines a cultural metropolis, a ‘scene’ city, shopping mile and economic centre.
