Reviews don’t lie, their team is great, had today Bali-massage with Lia and she is very experienced and helped me with my back pain. Fully recommended, with ginger tea and foot bath before and cookies with ginger tea and water after, all these details make this my favourite place. Very clean and professional- thanks, we will be loyal customers.

It’s like walking back in time but even better like a perfect movie set where every building is perfectly positioned and specially preserved, where every street is clean and well maintained, where every tree and street lights are in tune with the buildings and overall everything around is in pristine condition ????❤️???? You can walk around everywhere it is very well organised and easy to navigate. The traditional Trams are very charming and worth the ride . The bicycles are good solutions is you in a hurry. Google map works perfectly they are many hot spots and free wi-fi zones too. Plenty to see from medieval Cathedrals to Alpine masterpieces and Renaissance, museums and galleries,shops and cafe and tavern style restaurants all with charm and character. Very easy on the eye and inviting streets and small piazzas with water futures and corners . Yes the water on the streets is drinkable and very delicious straight from the Alps ! Zürich has the cleanest and most well organised Old town in Europe and you can see it easily. The high Swiss ????????standards are not in the price but in what you get for it and the Old town is up to the highest standards in Europe???????????? Zurich has the cleanest air for European capital city and you’ll feel it referring ! Must see , must explore and must experience the Old Town by walking without rushing. Take time to enjoy, to sit for coffee and admire the atmosphere around you . Don’t rush in a 24 hours you can not see everything . Pick top 3 places of interest for the day and leave few hours to explore without planning and to enjoy! For the romantics that’s the perfect place and there is the bridge where you can put your lock of Love ???? ???? discover it ! ???????? For the historical places tickets online to skip the Q are better options. For shopping, boutique style of Local and High Fashion. For souvenirs few special shops only but no street junks . (No fast food , no any junks on the streets at all ) For picture perfect views of the Old Town- the University terrace, the high Square and the Cathedral Tower! It’s photographers place - no billboards on the buildings or streets no advertising no posters no commercial junk at all ! Beautiful clean well preserved architecture only! One practical advice - Comfy but smart wear it’s a must ! Swiss are very well smart dressed but understated and discreet (no flushing fashion and labels, no fashion statements) Don’t forget the phone chargers, battery extenders and converts if you planing on photos all day (the weird non EU - Swiss sockets need convertor). Most coffee shops and restaurants have where to plug in and recharge but Swiss style only! They usually have free wi-fi too but you need to ask for the password. One of the weird difference from other European capital City’s is that Speaking in high voice and making a noise is considered very rude and impolite! Do keep your voice down NO shouting and screaming in public places (it’s offensive)! Other than that keep it clean and be kind and you’ll be welcome everywhere ! Swiss in generally are very polite and welcoming for tourists ???? Go enjoy,make happy memories and share with the World ????????????????????????????????

This fantastic art museum displays Western works since the 1600s and has an especially impressive selection of modern art.
Reviewed By SadieMT - Missoula, United States
We spent about 3 hours here and enjoyed both the museum itself and the artwork. We spent most of our time in the 19th century and forward collections and had the opportunity to see some fine Chagall paintings and a stunning Van Gogh work painted the last year of his life. Many sculptures by Giacometti and a current exhibit on Matisse sculptures.

A lovely informal café / restaurant in the centre of Zurich, about half way down Bahnhofstrasse between Hauptbahnhof station and the lake. Downstairs is an informal café bar, cake and chocolate shop - well worth a browse and a purchase! Upstairs is the café proper and often you have to join a short but quickly moving queue. You are shown to a table and service is quick and efficient. This is a well oiled operation! Unsure what to have, go for the café gourmand which is tea or coffee of your choice, two small patisserie style cakes and a truffle chocolate. Just what you need mid morning or afternoon. Service, crockery, cutlery, table layout are all excellent. The place is very busy but you are looked after. For anybody who knows the excellent small Betty's chain of cafes in Yorkshire then this is Bettys on steroids!

The Niederhof is an area on the east side of the Limmat River and part of old historic Zurich. Both sides of he river have old town areas, but I am partial to this side. The Niederhof has beautiful cobbelstone alley ways and streets. It is full of restaurants, bars, cafes, small shops with one of a kind objects and of course souvenir shops. Many places offer outside dining and seating weather permitting. It is a great place for absorbing the historical side of Zurich and some wonderful architecture. Wheelchair accessible with assistance or motorized.

The 85 minute short cruise from Bürkliplatz to Thalwil is a relaxing way to see both sides of the lake. Excellent price for the trip, and food and drink on board was sensibly priced, too. Quite busy in the low season, as less boats are operating, so there were few spare seats
