About the region

Medieval alleys wind down to a lake where sailing boats drift past chocolate shops.

Located at the confluence of the Limmat River and Lake Zurich, this region is Switzerland's largest urban area, known primarily for its financial institutions and vibrant cultural scene. Beyond the bustling city, Zurich offers access to numerous hiking trails in the nearby Uetliberg mountain, providing stunning panoramic views. The old town, with its medieval buildings and narrow alleys, reveals a rich history dating back to Roman times. Lake Zurich is a hub for outdoor activities such as swimming and sailing, while the nearby towns of Rapperswil and Winterthur present unique historic sites and museums. The region is also celebrated for its chocolate and cheese, with local markets showcasing artisanal products. Discovering the lesser-known neighborhoods can lead to hidden gems, including local galleries and family-owned eateries.
