Best Things to Do in Zurich
Zürich boasts of Dadaism, more than 100 art galleries, several renowned museums, and world-famous architecture, both old and new. But for those who aren't art enthusiasts, Zürich also offers a number of active pursuits that range from swimming in clean Lake Zürich (in the warm months) to hiking through nearby Uetliberg, and touring the nearby waterfalls at Rhine Falls, too. Travelers should also check out the nightlife in Zürich West, as well as the haute-couture shopping along Bahnhofstrasse.
