What to Do in Zurich, Switzerland
Zurich may be Switzerland’s powerhouse city, but its infectious work-hard, play-hard energy is refreshingly offset by a love of nature and a healthy embrace of creative freedom.

Im Viadukt
One of Zurich’s most exciting shopping, drinking and dining
“streets” is, in fact, a repurposed railway viaduct, today full of
indie design stores, studios and excellent eateries. We like
Restaurant Markthalle for its seasonality and local flavours.

Kunsthaus Zürich
Emphasising Swiss art, this unmissable gallery is the country’s
largest art museum, housing a collection spanning from the medieval
era to the present. An extension houses curated contemporary
exhibitions.

Swimming and saunas
Zurich’s many river and lake badis (public baths) are a
must-visit. Lakeside saunas usually have bars and terraces. If you
prefer a gender-specific venue, Frauenbad am Stadthausquai is
women-only, while Freibad am Schanzengraben is for men.
