Creators Cut Switzerland The City Tour
Intro
Two creators, creative challenges and three cities full of contrasts: In this YouTube series, creators explore Geneva, Basel and Zurich in their own unique way. Between an urban pulse and relaxed retreats, local culture and surprising perspectives, they experience Swiss cities off the beaten track. They meet local hosts, discover hidden gems and plan a day for each other, each reflecting a special contrast of the city. Close, real and with a wink, the series tells of cities that are more than just a backdrop. It shows: Switzerland is more than a journey. Their cities are an experience.
The 3 Challenges
Two contrasts per city – this is what the creators prepare for in their video challenges – this is how the two discover Swiss cities:
- Geneva On the road from "Nature vs. Urban" to "Local vs. International".
- Basel "Intimate vs. Monumental" next to "Reinvention vs. Heritage".
- Zurich Explore the city "Hidden vs. Iconic" and with "Slow Flow" vs. "Fast Pace".
