The city of Zurich lies in northern Switzerland, and while it might not be the capital of the country, it is perhaps the main important transport hub, and also a city that has become synonymous with that most impressive display of conspicuous wealth, the famous Swiss Bank Account.
Of course, Zurich is not just about money, although when you walk down the streets of exclusive boutiques and shops you'd be forgiven for thinking so, the city has a relaxed and easy going ambience, with plenty of bars to unwind in, and a good nightlife to enjoy.
The city is also famous for the variety and quality of chocolate available, and is the home of several luxury brands, including Lindt, and when you visit Zurich you will find yourself constantly tempted to eat tonnes of the stuff, meaning that this is certainly not the place to go when you're trying to diet.
There are great hotels in Zurich, and plenty of sights to see making it an ideal destination for a romantic short break with a loved one, or as the starting point of a longer trip exploring the Alps in Northern Switzerland on an active holiday mountaineering in the summer or skiing in winter.
Zurich is less than a two hour flight from most airports in the United Kingdom, and you can get cheap deals on tickets to the city, and hotel accommodation in Zurich is very good value when booked in advance, making the city a good value place to visit.
