Zurich – a cosmopolitan city with charm and exclusive lifestyle
Situated idyllically at the Lake Zurich, this multi-faceted city on the river Limmat enchants inhabitants, international guests and prominent residents with its unique lifestyle. Not without reason was Zurich declared the winner for “City with the Highest Quality of Living in the World” six consecutive years in 2007 according to an internationally conducted survey. With modern business centres and company headquarters of internationally renowned companies, Zurich also ranks among the most interesting business locations and financial centres worldwide.
A wonderful view of the Lake Zurich opens up to the south where its shores invite you to cool off in the cold water or to enjoy romantic walks. The surrounding mountain sceneries “Zurichberg”, “Hoenggerberg” and “Uetliberg” with their gorgeous recreation and hiking regions are also situated within a picturesque setting. Someone who loves the cultural diversity will have a great time in the many museums, exhibitions, concerts, theatres and opera performances or can go on an impressive journey through time by visiting a wide range of sights, architectural masterpieces and historical monuments.
Each city district in Zurich fascinates with its own special atmosphere. You will encounter an extraordinary galleries and fashion scene of young artists and creative persons in “Aussersihl” and “Zurich West” or you can take a break in the historic city in charming cafés or discover rarities in small antique shops. The world-famous “Bahnhofstrasse”, which features high-class designer boutiques from the central station to the Lake Zurich shore, is ideal for going on an extensive shopping expedition in exclusive ambiance.
One of the most famous shopping jewels of the city is located in the area “Storchengasse/Strehlgasse” at the heart of the historic city. The handicraft alley “Schipfe” is known as one of the oldest neighbourhoods in which small stores and workshops on the Limmat invite you to shop and linger. By contrast you can experience a whiff of Mediterranean atmosphere in the “Langstrassen district” which with its multicultural public and young designers definitely constitute the most diversified and varied district in Zurich.
An ideal starting point for stylish evening events or long party nights is the well-known “Niederdoerfli” with a comprehensive offering of restaurants, bars and clubs. Zurich is remarkable for a total of 500 hot spot locations where the trends of tomorrow are set and pure joy of living is celebrated.
Zurich – a city which combines modern lifestyle with the spirit of the past.
