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.

Zoologischer Garten (Zoological Garden)

One of the best-known zoos in Europe, Zurich’s Zoological Garden contains some 2,200 animals of about 260 species. It also has an aquarium and an open-air aviary. You can visit the Africa house, the ape house, and the terrariums, along with the elephant house and the giant-tortoise house. There are special enclosures for red pandas, otters, and snow leopards, and a house for clouded leopards, tigers, Amur leopards, and Indian lions.
