ZÜRICH TRAVEL GUIDE

Here’s my travel guide in Zürich where we spent for a weekend of 3 days. I decided to spend this moment with my mom and my godmother. I’ve never been to Switzerland before but I heard a lot about it – whether Geneva, Lausanne or Zürich.

And what’s better than spending the Easter holidays in Switzerland, the country of chocolate! 😀

THE TRIP

We arrived in the morning in Zürich, heading to the hotel to drop off suitcases and without wasting time we left to explore the city. I managed to book in a great place just 600 m from the city center.

The cool thing about Zürich is that you can go around easier as it’s a small city. The stations are pretty well served and very quick to get from point A to point B.

+ WHERE TO STAY

We stayed at the B2 Boutique Hotel + Spa, a charming hotel sets in the heights in the district of Enge, not far from the city center. It has a pretty nice view of the city but the most particular thing is the spa located on the rooftop of the hotel.

MY EXPERIENCE

Zürich, a city rich in history, to discover absolutely! I will say a long weekend of 3 days is enough to go around. Get ready to spend money cause being in one of the most expensive cities in the world, I can tell you that the prices are really high.

The old town is so cute with its narrow streets, and colored and historic buildings! Also, there’s the lake which is a beauty!
The streets are clean (we will not compare to Paris) and very safe, either day or night. After 10pm the city is dead!
It’s rather a city very relaxing and calm if you want to party this is not the best destination.

Go for relaxation and be a tourist, there’s so many things to see 🙂
