We will go out on a lake boat ride, take you on an excursion to a nearby town, visit the main museums, and generally show you around.
Bahnhofstrasse is the pride of modern Zurich, and counts as the one and only Boulevard of the city. It is famous for being one of the most exclusive and expensive shopping streets in the world. Here you can get anything from diamond rings to chocolate to fur coats. About 140 stores are located along it. A study In 2011 named the Bahnhofstrasse the most expensive commercial rent for retail property in Europe. We'll take you up and down the full length of Bahnhofstrasse on foot and in the tram.
By the way the reason that we can present such a long and comprehensive program about Zürich is that it was filmed during 10 visits to Zürich in recent years.
Zürich’s Hauptbahnhof is the busiest train station in the world as measured by total number of daily trains, but the Hauptbahnhof is more than just a train station - it's like a small town in itself. There are many restaurants and bars and cafes and the lower level has got a vast shopping mall, and it is really popular because these stores are open at night and on Sundays when many of these stores in the city are closed. You'll find a whole variety of shops available here, not just travel items, luggage stores, but clothing stores and sundries, there is the sandwich shops, there is the stationary places, all kinds of ways to spend your money. If you're here towards the end of September you might get lucky and run into the Oktoberfest celebration. These are Swiss, they also like their beer and their lederhosen and their sausages, very similar to Munich in southern Germany in Bavaria. It's Oktoberfest time with some great Swiss beer, there's some music in the air, and a lot of fun. Everybody is very friendly here and the whole station turns into one big party scene.
There are nearly 300 hotels in Zürich so you have a wide range of choice from the cheapest hostel up to a five-star deluxe hotel like the hotels Savoy Bauer en Ville. It's right on Paradeplatz and Bahnhofstrasse - a very refined and expensive place to stay, with prices generally above €500. Perhaps four-star luxury is more suitable for you and definitely less expensive. We enjoyed the St. Gotthard Hotel. It's right on the Bahnhofstrasse just one block from the train station, making access about the best in town.
For visitors who have any interest whatsoever in art, it's worth walking a few blocks to the south edge of the old town to visit Zürich's art museum, the Kunsthaus Zürich.
Behind the train station the country's largest museum occupies a huge neo-Gothic castle built a century ago and houses a grand display of Swiss history illustrating the full length of human culture from the Stone Age up through the 1940s.

I was in Zurich last week, and found that the city is very peaceful, people are nice and polite. I spent half day in the park near the national museum. Nothing else but just quiet place and it can keep you linger there for the whole day :)
That does describe a lovely aspect of Zurich -- it's a big city with a lot going on, much to see, and yet at the same time, peaceful with many quiet neighborhoods and pedestrian zones.
Two days a go I visit Zurich....what a beautiful and clean city...❤️

Hi. Really loved your video. Full of details. Planning to visit in 2 years time. Switzerland is heaven. Swiss people also have their own customs. Like we have here in India... My dream since 1994..... Going to be a reality soon....

Dear,
Thank you very much for the ZURICH video. This video is your gift to all those in this world who can never visit either due to financial constraints or due to constraints of distance. I Have been to Geneva and country side swiss through Eurail.
I treasure each moment that i spent watching your spectacular video.
May God Bless you both.

Thanks very much for that comment -- it is hard for anyone to see everything on the planet, so travel videos do play that role of bringing you there, especially when the program is a long, detailed piece to put you in the "zone" and almost be there. Plus maybe it will inspire many to visit Zurich when they see how interesting it is.
My best trip in Switzerland. Great video and well detailed. Tnxs
Beautiful Switzerland, beautiful video!
hope you can afford it

Travel To The World that
I was there 3 weeks ago.😎😎😎
very very nice place and beautiful 😘😘😘😘😘
Switzeland is amazing city i'm very happy because I visited there this year. I think this video is the best !
Switzerland is a country not a city....
Usama Fayyaz that really depends on how do you "want to live" here in zurich. If you stay in a cheap hotel (which is still not cheap in the opposite of many other countrys ), mostly eat food from supermarkets (not so much restaurants), spend some time "walking and sightseeing for free" (not so much activities that cost money, unfortunately the swiss franc is very strong ) -> then it can be pretty affordable . But i don't know a concrete price. Where are you from ?
Usama Fayyaz i forgot: also i can recommend you to take a hotel which is not directly in the city, maybe in a smaller city next to zurich. Switzerland is not so big and the public transportation is very good, so you easily will be in the city in like 10-20minutes.
yeah thats enough
Ja vol Danke Veil Mal, Wow i'm the only one commenting, you have been eating my heart out, i spent 10 years in Berlin, i should have spent at least half in Zurich, it is a beautiful city and if i get lucky i mean real lucky i will be there, and thank you so much again.
