Wander along the Bahnhofstrasse, where Swiss precision meets high-end shopping and the world's bankers somehow make wealth seem tasteful. The Kunsthaus Zurich displays masterpieces with such casual confidence you'd think Picasso was a local. At Zürich Opera House, even the cough drops are probably engineered for optimal acoustics. The Swiss National Museum chronicles a nation that remained neutral while perfecting chocolate and timepieces. FIFA World Football Museum celebrates the beautiful game with exhibits that transcend team loyalties. Lake Zürich offers boat trips where the water appears suspiciously clean, while Zoo Zurich houses animals in enclosures that seem more luxurious than many human accommodations.

Saint Georges Hotel

Saint Georges Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"A pretty good deal for the most expensive city in the world. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Amenities were good despite the fact that the toilets/shower was down the hall, perhaps something many Americans aren’t used to. But they were very clean and civilized. You might not want to stay here in the heat of the summer because there’s no air-conditioning, but fortunately the weather broke to be somewhat cooler while we were here. Property is cllose to the Weideken train station, a little bit further from the main HBF Definitely worth it."
