Zurich is the largest city in Switzerland with a total area of 87.88 km2. It has an oceanic climate with four major seasons, Summer, Winter, Spring and Autumn. Located near a sparkling lake and surrounded by the elevated mountains, Zurich consistently mixes the indoor and open air. You can ride a bicycle, get a boat and go for a saunter as the old town with its quirky shops and narrow roads offers luring walks and restless attractions. For the best perspectives of the city, jump on a train up an adjacent mountain. Also, this is a city that cherishes to party, with an energizing system of bars and clubs open into the little hours and past.

Here are the five best things you should surely do if you are in Zurich:

1. Have a Boat Ride

First of all, take a boat trip across the Zurich lake. The Lake Zurich Navigation Company offers some amazing cruises both short and long that you can enjoy with your special someone.

2. Visit a Badi

Zurich is a city with plenty of water, and this is the reason the outdoors “swimming pools” and “badis” are adored by the local public. Some of the amazing water areas you can enjoy here are: Upper Letten River Pool, Katzensee Swimming Area, Utoquai swimming area, Seebad enge, and Lido Richsterswil.

3. Enjoy a Luxury Car Ride

What is more soothing than a luxury car ride across the picturesque locations of Zurich. You can easily rent a luxury car and enjoy the breathtaking views of snow capped mountains and glacial lakes.  Some of the cars that you can easily rent are Mercedez Benz, Audi Q7, BMW, Range Rover, Porshe etc.

4. Take a Train Ride to the Zurich’s backyard mountain, the Uetliber

If you want to experience the beautiful views of the city and lake – and perhaps even a glimpse of the Alps then take a train ride to Uetliber, Zurich’s very own mountain, which is 2,850 feet above sea level and towers over the rooftops of Zürich.

5. Museum Day Out

Zurich is a city of museums and 14 of them are dedicated to the art world.
