Zurich, Nature Paradise in Central Europe

Zurich offers incredible mixture of attractions and a unique multicultural flair. Located in the middle of Europe, the modern city represents a unique combination of nature, history and luxury.




Floating through the city,  Limmat River brings tranquility and reveals views towards some of the prettiest buildings in Zurich. This is the best gathering point for locals and tourist who enjoy the fabulous atmosphere here.





We spent the whole day walking on the left bank, crossing the numerous bridges and enjoying the sun and the nice weather in this summer day.




Limmat River floats into the lake of Zurich. 



Having spent several trips in The Black Forest and being so familiar with beauty of the lakes Schluchsee and Titisee, we thought the lake of Zurich might be disappointing. When we reached the lake… what a lovely surprise!

We got so fascinated. We never taught that it will be so attractive. In this hot summer day, everyone has chosen it as a preferred place for relaxing, swimming, strolling with the family or meeting with friends.




The nature paradise is so close to the city center. 





The promenade offers a pleasant walk and very beautiful views towards the Swiss Alps always covered with snow.


The calm waters of the lake and the green areas around the perfect conditions for a leisurely stroll.

This lake in combination with the Alps makes Zurich a fantastic destination. 




The lake has many swans and ducks representing a beautiful spectacle and a nice photo ensemble.





The boat tours make accessible every hidden corner of the lake and its incredible sceneries.



Lots of restaurant overlooking the lake, here we can enjoy a meal and a drink. We just love this place.




Once in Zurich we could not miss to visit the historical center of this modern city. The pedestrian zone is a good combination of steep cobbled streets and a large number of shops, cafe and bars. What a pleasant experience. 






Beautiful old town with gorgeous churches on the background.




The old buildings here have a unique Swiss architecture made of stone, wood and a revealing a religious influence. 





The Fraumünster is a nice old church especially famous with its Chagall windows, telling stories from the Bible.


Zurich is so beautiful, the first city we have visited in Switzerland. We enjoyed every moment spent here.
