About Zürich
Zürich is a delight to visit at any time of the year – from traditions like the famous fireworks over the lake on New Year’s Eve to the charms of its medieval Allstadt or Old Town year-round or the joys of exploring the city’s relationship with the River Limmat and the beautiful Lake Zürich in the summertime. This affluent city is also an ideal starting point to visit stunning nearby natural landmarks such as the Rhine Falls and Mount Rigi. The famously picturesque Principality of Liechtenstein is also less than two hours away.
