Zurich Travel Guide

Contrary to popular belief, Zurich is not the capital of Switzerland (which is Bern), just its largest city. Zurich has long been known for being clean and efficient, but only in the last ten years has it truly become a fascinating and worthwhile travel destination.

About Zurich

Zurich covers an area of 35.5 sq. miles (91.88 square Km) and is estimated to have a population of 950.000 people being the largest city in Switzerland. Zurich is Switzerland's main commercial and cultural centre and is widely considered to be one of the world's global cities.

Attractions

The gardens contain 15,000 living species, including some rare specimens from New Caledonia and Southwest Africa. The herbarium contains three million plants. The gardens, owned by the University of Zurich, were laid out on the site of a former private villa.
