Zurich is a city that is constantly evolving and reinventing itself. Bankers no longer rule the streets here; rather you\u2019ll find vibrant neighbourhoods, young Swiss creatives, a ton of boutique shops and plenty of new restaurants and galleries.\u00a0We might still have a reputation as one of the leading finance hubs of the world, but there\u2019s a whole lot more happening in Zurich once you scratch the surdace. Below you\u2019ll find my picks of the absolute best things to do in Zurich (or \u2018Zuri\u2019, as we call it here).\u00a0<\/p>\n
What is the best time of year to visit Zurich?<\/p>\n
There\u2019s never a bad time to visit Zurich; in the summer it\u2019s all about\u00a0our open-air\u00a0swimming,\u00a0and in the winter, nothing beats fondue and exploring the beautiful Christmas lights and markets dotted around town. World class museums, art galleries and easy access to some of Switzerland\u2019s most beloved mountains, national parks and gardens make this an all-year-round destination. Trust us on that one.\u00a0<\/p>\n
