Zurich. What can I do there?

Question

I have a trip coming up and will have to spend a half day in Zurich before getting my flight home. I will be there in mid-November. Is there anything that I could do in the few hours that I am there - something cultural preferably.

Thanks.

Answer 1

take a short trip by tram and bus to the Stadtspital Waid. It's an amazing view over the city.

Answer 2

You might visit the "Kunstmuseum" (Artmuseum) for an hour and then stroll thru "Niederdorf" which is close-by (the old city of Zürich). They have lovely old and historical houses and small side streets. The famous Bahnhofstreet might  be too busy since the X-Mas shopping will be in full swing. Also the Fraumünster church with it's Chagall and Giacometti windows or the really nice Zürich Zoo are worth a glance.

Answer 3

in Zurich you have the embarrassment of choice: visit musés, shopping, strolls at the edge of the lake. You can discover this city, winner of the award "City of Best quality of life", in a two hours, in guided tour, why not? All depends on your tastes, here a link where you will be able to choose what interests you.

Happy holidays

then take "The Zürich Trolley Experience - City Tour" or take a taxi and asks him to make a turn of city. Often the luck arrives when one does not expect it, I wish you that it arrive to you soon

Answer 4

Answer 5

ZUrich on your own in Nov can be extremely boring. You could try a ride on the lake. There's the church of Fraumunster in the centre which has some nice stain glass windows by Chagal.  There's the Grossmunster where Zwingli the reformer was priest. The university is interesting. There's the Reitberg Museum famous for its collection of oriental art.

Answer 6

Have a walk through the Bahnhofstrasse. It's very beautiful an there are a lot of shops there. Then you can also go by foot to the lake.  I you have enough time you can visit a museum
