ZÜRICH
Zürich is an enigma. A savvy financial centre with possibly the densest public transport
system in the world, it also has a gritty, post-industrial edge that always surprises. The na-
tion's largest city has an evocative Old Town and lovely lakeside location. Its museums,
shops and myriad restaurants can easily keep you busy for a few days.
Sights
The city spreads around the northwest end of Zürichsee (Lake Zürich), from where the
Limmat river runs further north still, splitting the medieval city centre in two. The narrow
streets of the Niederdorf quarter on the river's east bank are crammed with restaurants, bars
and shops. The central areas around the lake, especially Niederdorf, are best explored on
foot.
