Cool and charming, hip and historic — Zürich makes the perfect city break

History meets glamour on this fun weekend break

Prepare to lose your heart to Zürich

Zürich is the rarest of cities: A multi-cultural enclave that’s historically rich yet excitingly modern; proudly traditional yet unashamedly edgy. Languishing, somewhat unfairly, in the shadows of other European heavy-hitters, Zürich is the kind of place you’ll applaud yourself for visiting and wonder why it took you so long to get there.

Less showy than the headline cities of Paris, Rome or Amsterdam, Switzerland’s largest and wealthiest city is quietly self-assured. Take a chance on the waterside charmer, and prepare to lose your heart amongst its river walks, medieval lanes, chocolate boutiques and soaring spires.
