City Info

Zürich is at the northern end of Lake Zürich (Zürichsee), with the city center split by the Limmat River. Like many Swiss cities, it is compact and conveniently laid out. The main train station (Hauptbahnhof) is on the west (or left) bank of the river, close to the old center.

Chocolate bars will battle gold bars for your attention, the town boasts free bicycle loans, and a varied cycle of festivals keeps the people hopping. Visitors can explore galleries, the pedestrian streets of the old town and Zürich's lakeside setting.
