Flights to Zürich

With the age-old joke about the name translating as too rich (zu reich), Switzerland’s biggest city has long been stereotyped as a banking capital, and little else.

And while there is no disputing the wealth of many of its inhabitants – one third of which are expats who have taken one-way flights to Zürich– the diversity throughout is a joy to behold.

The city is home to many of Switzerland’s music, arts and cultural highlights, including Schauspielhaus, one of the most revered theatres in the German-speaking world. There’s also the Opernhaus on Falkenstrasse 1, which regularly stages world-class operatic productions.

But the city doesn’t limit itself to highbrow theatre and opera. There is a wealth of outdoor pursuits and al fresco events for much of the year. Visitors and locals alike can often be found on the enormous Lake Zürich or at one of the many Badi Bars (lidos) dotted along the River Limmat.

It is also a pedestrian-friendly city that’s popular with runners. Its proximity to the Alps means it’s easy to pop out for a day’s skiing in the winter, or perhaps a spot of cycling or hiking in the summer.

Zürich also has a sparkling restaurant scene – in 2014, nine of its restaurants were Michelin-starred, with chefs such as Laurent Eperon and Antonio Colaianni driving this culinary revolution.

In turn, a thriving nightlife scene is boosted every summer by open-air music festivals, the largest of which is the Street Parade, a dance music event that attracts a million people.

Considering its abundant cultural, gastronomic and recreational options, Zürich is ‘too rich’ in more ways than one.

What to do in Zürich

Visit the Swiss National Museum

This eclectic museum tells you everything you need to know (and more) about Swiss history – including an introduction to the Swiss financial system. There are also a number of impressive archaeological artefacts, such as golden amulets pressed into rock that date back thousands of years.

Visit the Schiffbau

What was once a huge factory for ship engines has now been converted into the seat of the Schauspielhaus – a huge theatre, with three separate stages – Box, Matchbox and Schiffbauhalle. It is also home to LaSalle restaurant, the Nietturm lounge and jazz venue Moods.

Take an Alpine train tour

The Alps are just a short train ride from Zürich. Generally, tours involve train journeys into the mountain range, though hiking is a wonderful option if the weather is right and you’re feeling adventurous. Pick of the bunch is an organised trip to the ‘Top of Europe’, or Bernese Oberland.

Where to eat in Zürich

Stefs Freieck (European)

This intimate, stylishly appointed restaurant is slightly off the beaten track, but it is worth the short tram journey out of the centre. It offers a smart yet laidback atmosphere and contemporary European food, and the chefs are known for keeping the menu fresh and exciting.

Spice – Restaurant Rigiblick (Vegetarian)

Its gorgeous location puts Spice on a plateau all of its own, and the playful cuisine hoists it even higher. Perched on the Zürichberg hillside, the terrace offers unspoiled views of the city and Lake Zürich. On the table, there’s a terrific vegetarian restaurant that even the most fervent of meat eaters would enjoy.

Central Plaza Hotel

The Dolder Grand

This gorgeous five-star hotel in the hills to the east of the city is quintessentially Swiss. A century-old building given a modern twist upon reopening in 2008, it offers ample opportunity to get the best out of both city life and the lush green fields of the Alpine countryside.
