However, most people have never explored its hidden gem: Z\u00fcrich. At first glance, Z\u00fcrich seems deceivingly straightforward; it&#8217;s a quiet city home to one of the most prominent financial hubs in the world. This is just the facade protecting the wonderful places and experiences Z\u00fcrich has to offer.<\/p>\n<p>I was raised in Z\u00fcrich, Mykonos, and Tokyo. Unlike other places I have lived, Z\u00fcrich is underrated. Here is my ideal day in Z\u00fcrich. My first stop is Spr\u00fcngli \u2013 one of Switzerland&#8217;s oldest and most well-known confectionary shops. I typically go to the Spr\u00fcngli in Paradeplatz, and I always order a berry bircher muesli.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_115500\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-115500 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ver2_IMG_1001-360x270.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ver2_IMG_1001-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ver2_IMG_1001-720x540.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bircher muesli is a popular Swiss breakfast dish comprised of rolled oats, grated apples, and berries<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The next stop is the Kunsthaus Art Museum. Situated in the heart of Z\u00fcrich, the Kunsthaus museum houses one of Switzerland&#8217;s most prominent art collections, with around 4,000 paintings and sculptures from the 13th century to the present day.<\/p>\n<p>After a busy morning, the best place to visit is the Baur au Lac Hotel for its refreshing signature iced tea. Then it&#8217;s time for bratwurst at the Sternen Grill. The St. Galler Bratwurst is a must-try dish: a grilled veal sausage served with a b\u00fcrli brot (bread roll) &amp; mustard. I recommend enjoying this Swiss delicacy while sitting by the Lake of Z\u00fcrich. You can watch the water sparkle as the Swiss central Alps appear to hover in the distance (if it&#8217;s clear enough to see them that day.)<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-114835 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ver2_IMG_0882-360x270.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/12\/vre2_34aad1f1-c834-4572-89a1-bd03b56a6f2f-360x270.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/12\/vre2_34aad1f1-c834-4572-89a1-bd03b56a6f2f-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/12\/vre2_34aad1f1-c834-4572-89a1-bd03b56a6f2f-720x540.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<blockquote><p>Left: Bratwurst sold in the Sternen Grill, &#8220;St. Galler Bratwurst&#8221;<br \/>\nRight: You can see the Lake of Z\u00fcrich from the Baur au Lac Hotel<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_115501\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-115501\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ver2_IMG_1139-610x578.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ver2_IMG_1139-610x578.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ver2_IMG_1139-940x890.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ver2_IMG_1139-768x727.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ver2_IMG_1139.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beautiful stained-glass windows in the Fraum\u00fcnster Church<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The next area to explore is the Old Town (Altstadt). It&#8217;s filled with various important historical structures, such as the Fraum\u00fcnster Church. I love to take a quick peek inside the church as it has stunning Chagall stained-glass windows. The streets are lined with Swiss flags, and there are many quaint shops and traditional restaurants. You could spend hours exploring the nooks and crannies of this charming part of Z\u00fcrich.<\/p>\n<p>To finish this perfect day, I recommend dinner at the Kronenhalle (my favorite restaurant in Z\u00fcrich). It is one of the few restaurants in the world where you can enjoy your food while being surrounded by original paintings by Mir\u00f3, Rodin, Braque, and more. The best area to sit is in the Brasserie, and the best dishes to order are the Schnitzel, Mistkratzerli (roast young chicken), and the quintessential chocolate mousse with double cream.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-114835 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ver2_IMG_6432-360x270.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ver2_IMG_6432-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ver2_IMG_6432-720x540.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ver2_IMG_6434-360x270.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ver2_IMG_6434-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ver2_IMG_6434-720x540.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<blockquote><p>Schnitzel (left) and chocolate mousse (right) in Kronenhalle<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This plan just scrapes the tip of the iceberg regarding the opportunities Z\u00fcrich has to offer.

The population is approximately 420,000 as of 2023. The city not only plays the central part in the economy and culture, but also has many traditional buildings, including churches and museums that visitors can enjoy. Zoo Z\u00fcrich, which recreates ecosystems around the world, is one of the most popular spots. Various transportation networks are well developed, including rail, road, and air, which makes it easy to reach other cities, as well as tourist attractions such as castles and mountains.
