    Zurich

    Zurich is a fantastic (albeit expensive) city to visit. I'm an architect so there is a lot of interesting cultural and architectural novelties going on in Zurich west. Both the old city and Zurich West have great things to offer and the city is small but very interesting and colorful.

    Insider Tip:For those that dont know, compared to other metropolises in Europe, Zurich has a high cost of living, and this is reflected in the price of services (food) which is where you'll spend the most. That's the only drawback to what I find to be an excellent city with plenty to offer.

    The city was beautiful so was Lucerne we took a daytrip up mount Titlis that went through Lucerne so we got to see a bit of it before going up the mountain, the day trip was definitely worth it.

    Insider Tip:The chocolate factory trip is not in the factory it's to the factory outlet store

    two worlds

    zurich is a very good little get around, its not large and with a bike can be done very easily. there are plenty of things to do on foot too, like hiking up the hills that surround it or walking round the lake and also swimming in the lake. but where is stayed was completly different it was in the red light district of sorts and was alot of pubs and very very crazy people making for good drinking and even better people watching. these are two different worlds inside zurich. check out both

    Insider Tip:hire a bike and keep on the move

    The city center has not much to see; just some churches which are not so beautifully decorated. The river and lake are a good place to see. Also worth visiting are Rapperswil and Üetliberg. These are suburban areas. Üetliberg offers are a good view of Zurich from 2000 ft and can be reached in about 20 mins by S-Bahn.

    Insider Tip:If you want to save on food expenses, the Coop supermarket near the central station has some ready to eat heated items. You may try those.
