Luxury hotels and fine dining restaurants in Zürich

Travel to Zurich  

Lively and cosmopolitan, Zurich is home to a multitude of souls who together contribute to making it a much friendlier metropolis than it might seem. The streets of the old town and the modern quarters of the city live in harmony with the surrounding nature, making Zurich one of the most pleasant and ecologically-minded cities in Europe. A weekend in Zurich is all about discovering a dynamic town, always on the lookout for new trends, from architecture to the arts and gastronomy. All of these features can be seen from the streets of the historic centre, where the River Limmat flows by, in a succession of contrasts between history and modernity. The two towers of Grossmünster, the 12th-century cathedral and symbol of the city, dominate the typical Zunfthaus, the guild houses between which you will enjoy strolling before continuing your walk along Bahnhofstrasse, the famous shopping street lined with luxury boutiques and world-renowned watchmakers. To get an idea of the wind of creativity sweeping through the region, all you have to do is visit the district of Zurich-West, formerly an industrial zone and now filled with artists, architects, designers, stylists and innovative chefs who have completely transformed its soul and appearance. The arches of the 1894 railway viaduct have become the destination for shopping among all kinds of boutiques, from gourmet restaurants to ateliers, and from galleries to designer labels. Zurich-West is also the centre of Zurich's nightlife, with its many vibrant bars, clubs and eateries, where creativity extends to the table. It has become a must for gourmets, who can sample dishes reinterpreted by chefs, from classic recipes such as Züri Gschnätzlets, a local-style stew, to more exotic favourites that reveal the cosmopolitan side of the city. Under the railway viaduct you'll also find the Markthalle covered market, where local farmers, bakers and butchers sell fresh organic produce every day. For a relaxing break during your stay in Zurich, head to the Baden thermal baths, only fifteen minutes away by train, and enjoy the benefits of the mineral-rich thermal waters flowing from its sulphur springs, which have been famous since the time of the Roman legionaries.
