The way Google Maps works in Zurich is a disgrace and I’ve heard its actually developed in Zurich, facepalm. My findings are: When you normally have 4-5 lanes you would get 4-5 arrows on your screen and the path you should take is highlighted by making the arrows white and the rest remain gray.

- Practical Tips For Visiting Zürich
1. The main event: Grossmünster*
No postcard or picture of Zürich would be complete without the Grossmünster towers standing proudly in the background. The inside of this church is somewhat understated, but climb to the top of the towersand you won’t be disappointed by the spectacular views.
2. Fraumünster*
Fraumünster is a smaller church with a rich history and an ancient crypt museum. It is set on the edge of the lively Münsterhof square.
3. Lake Zürich
Zürich wouldn’t be a Swiss city without a lake. And with boat trips, a Chinese garden, and plenty of cafésto choose from, Lake Zürich has a lot to offer at any time of year.
There aren’t too many places to grab a coffee – Zürich definitely has more bars than cafés. But the cafés that they do have are well worth a visit.
1. Zeughauskeller*
This restaurant was formally a storage place for weapons, and legend has itthe crossbow of national hero William Tell was once stored here. Zeughauskeller is a must-visit for any tourist visiting Zürich (and for many locals). The restaurant offers traditional Swiss food, and dining here is more of an experience than just a meal out!
2. Hiltl*
A bit of a claim to fame for the city, Hiltl is credited as the world’s oldest vegetarian restaurant. Service is a ‘help yourself’ affair and you can enjoy rooftop views from the Dachterrasse branch!
3. Saigon
If you fancy something a bit more exotic than traditional Swiss delicacies, Saigon is the place to be. The restaurant itself is small and minimalist and the selection of Vietnamese foodon offer is delicious –it does fill up quickly so time your visit well!
1. Raygrodski
Potentially the most hipster bar to ever exist. There is something captivating about the atmosphere in Raygrodski, even if you can’t really hear yourself think. The extensive cocktail liststrays from the classics in favor of creative mixes and presentations. If you have your heart set on visiting this bar at the weekend, reserve a table – it WILL be busy!
2. Jules Verne Panorama Bar*
This bar really is something special. Boasting a panoramic view of the city and almost too many drinks to choose from, this is the perfect place to go for celebratory drinks and a must-seefor tourists traveling to Zürich. As a result of its reputation, it is a bit pricey… but well worth it.
3. Frau Gerolds Garten
At first glance, you might mistake Frau Gerolds for a scrap yard that someone has tried to dress up with fairy lights. In theory, you wouldn’t be completely wrong. But once you step through the gate you’ll be fascinated by the wonderland that awaits you. From the popup stores and outdoor barsto the quirky terrace with views over Hardbrücke, this place is certainly something special.
A visit to one of Zürich’s many museums could just turn that boring rainy day around. Here are my top 3:
Zürich might not be the first place you think of for a shopping spree, but it is home to one of the world’s most expensive shopping streets: Bahnhofstrasse. The street is a designer lover’s dream; lined with shops including Cartier, Tiffany’s and Chanel, but also with more affordable shops including Zara and H&M.
If you are only traveling to Zürich for a few days I’d recommend staying in the city center. Two popular hotels in the center of Zürich are citizenM and Hotel Schweizerhof. Both are good 4-star hotels that you can easily reach from the train station. But, for a small city, Zürich has a good selection of hotels, plus a few guesthouses and hostels. I...
1. Travel Passes
The Zuri Passgives you free travel on buses and trams in central Zürich. For those of you who fancy exploring the rest of Switzerland, pick up a Swiss Pass(available for various lengths of time) and enjoy unlimited travel around the country. The only thing you may have to add is a supplement for cable cars to explore the mountaintops.
2. Money Money Money
The rumors are true: Switzerland is one of the most expensive countries in the world. Don’t come here expecting a cheap city break to Zurich – that’s not what this part of the world is about. It’s all about the experience.
3. Sundays in Zurich
Like in a lot of European countries, Sunday is a family day in Switzerland. In Zürich (and in most other cities/towns in Switzerland) almost everything is closed on Sunday. But, shops and restaurants in train stations and airports as well as the places marked above with an * will remain open.
