These are not all you can find in Zurich however as there are many landmarks in the city that will keep any tourist full occupied. It might take an epistle to write about all of them but I'll just focus on a few for now.

Grossmunster: This can very easily be referred to as the symbol of Zurich. For those who haven't seen it before, it is a cathedral with twin towers facing the River Limmat. It has a crypt which is said to be the largest of the kind in Switzerland and dates as far back as the 13th century. It is generally open for sightseeing during the week subject to some weather changes and some access restrictions at certain times of the year.

Having sampled the culture you may be in need of sampling some of the local night sports. Luckily Zurich is home to around 700 bars and clubs, most of which stay open until the early hours. DJs from all over the world play everything from House, Techno and Latin to Acid Jazz. If you prefer things a little more mellow, drop into one of the numerous open-air bars (in summer).

But Zurich is a city that has always had a rebellious spirit, and perhaps it is this more than anything that has prevented the city usurping Berne as capital. Quite unlike anywhere else in Switzerland, where most towns seem to have hit the pause button sometime in the 17th century, Zurich positively embraces change. Compared to the rest of the nation it is a dynamic place and well deserving of its international reputation as a 21st century city.
