As a lifestyle capital on the water, Zurich offers the unique mix of disciver, pleasure, nature and culture. Let’s go find out.
Hotels & Resorts
Alden Luxury Suite Hotel
Is situated in the city center, just a few minutes from Lake Zurich and offers you a warm welcome. Luxurious comfort, individual, personal and attentive service as well as 22 exclusively and superbly appointed suites promise you a stay in exquisite style. Every suite is fitted with a spa bathroom and provides you with plenty of room to linger and unwind. The name ‘ALDEN’ is derived from the old English word ‘Aldwyn’, which roughly means ‘old friend’.
The Dolder Grand
The Dolder Grand is the perfect environment for people who are looking for pleasure, exclusivity and relaxation. The original “Curhaus” dating from 1899 presents itself anew as the luxury-class City Resort. The hotel’s elevated location, between the pulsating life of the city and a refreshingly natural green zone, provides a magnificent view of the city of Zurich, the lake and the Alps.
Galleries
David Koetser Gallery
Founded in 1912 and has since speciallised in FineOld Masters mainly of the Dutch, Flemish and Italian Schools. Today the gallery is based in the centre of Zurich, Switzerlan.
Fondation E.G.Bührle Collection
Widely acknowledged as one of the foremost collections of European art, this gallery is centered on French Impressionism and Post-Impression and offers an impressive selection of notable works by such illustrious names as van Gogh, Degas, Monet, Renoir, Manet, Gauguin and Cézanne. Intended to showcase the progression of artistic philosophy that eventually led to the relative freedom of 20th century Modernism, the collection is housed in the former home of the industrialist who lends his name to the museum.
Galerie Gmurzynska
Galerie Gmurzynska is a relative newcomer to the Zurich art scene, but its reputation precedes it thanks to more than 40 years showcasing classic Modernist work in Cologne. This move to Switzerland heralds the beginning of an expansion that will seek to incorporate artwork from the early 20th century. Aesthetes will appreciate the wrought ironwork of the stylish townhouse that now houses the collection.
Restaurants
Brasserie Schiller
Enjoy delicious cordon bleue French cooking in the historic surroundings of this delightful brasserie. The Goethe bar, meanwhile, is a great choice for wine and nibbles before you move on somewhere else.
Caduff’s Wine Loft
You can be sure of the freshest produce at Caduffs Wine Loft: chef Beat gets up at the crack of dawn to guarantee he gets the best of the local market. His establishment is a wine-bar-cum-restaurant: guests will be delighted by the simple carefully-constructed dishes that accompany the amazing selection of wine. The dining experience is enhanced by the fact that you can descend to the depths of the cellars to choose from over 2200 bottles or take a seat at the bar and listen to your hosts recommendations.
Café Sprüngli
One of Zurich’s most beloved institutions, Confiserie Sprüngli has been delighting its customers with sweet treats since 1836. With several branches around the city, there is not escaping the lure of its delicious pralines and truffles or its trademark luxemberglis. If you’ve got plenty of time, a shopping break at the cafe on Bahnhofstrasse is well recommended.
Museums
Museum Rietberg
Some of Europe’s most interesting collections were amassed by gifted amateurs with enough money to pursue their hobbies. This museum honors the acquisitive skill of Baron von der Heydt, who donated his collection to the city of Zurich in 1952. It includes sculptures and artworks from the Americas and North and South Asia, archaic Buddhist art, carpets from Armenia, and masks from Africa and Oceania.
Landesmuseum (Swiss National Museum, Zurich)
This museum traces the growth and development of Swiss civilization from prehistory to the modern age. The collections include prehistoric artifacts, mementos from the Roman and Carolingian empires, and artworks from Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance periods. There are also unusual collections of Swiss clocks, Swiss armor and weapons, and folkloric costumes and artifacts from each of the country’s cantons.

Points of Interest
Urania Observatory
Urania Sternwarte is a public observatory in the Lindenhof quarter of Zurich, Switzerland.
Church of Our Lady (Fraumunster)
A slender blue spire points skyward from the current church, which was a gift from Ludwig the German. It is famous for its stained glass windows by Marc Chagall. The church is located in Zürich along the Limmat River on Fraumünsterstrasse at one end of the Münsterbrucke (bridge) with the Grossmünster found across the river opposite the same bridge. St. Peter’s Church is only a few blocks north along the same side of the river as Fraumünster.
Great Church (Grossmunster)
This 12th-century cathedral has both historical and architectural significance: Ulrich Zwingli led an important sect of the Reformation from here in the early 1500s, and the cathedral’s twin towers serve as perhaps the most recognizable landmarks in modern Zürich.
I hope you have appreciated it!
