Foreword
As we are writing, Zurichs public lake and river baths are finally about to open. They could easily have opened a lot earlier this year, as weve had one of the warmest and driest springs ever. The water temperature of the lake was already up to almost 20 C by the end of April! The lake is a jewel all year round, but in summer it really comes into its own and when the heat sets in the citys inhabitants flock to its shores. The water here and in the river is so clean its fine for swimming in, giving Zurich its own Riviera. But summer in Zurich obviously has much more to offer than just lovely water-side spots to relax in. Leafy restaurant gardens make for delightful outdoor dining and the numerous open-air bars are great places for a drink. Even the cinemas set up under the open sky, so you can watch the latest blockbusters or old favourites cooled by a light breeze from the lake. For a few months life really moves outside, at least as long as the weather plays along. (see summer special p. 13) But even if it doesnt, the heat will definitely be on at the Latin Music Festival Caliente (p. 18) or at the Zurich Pride Festival, Zurichs major gay event (p. 17). And if youre looking for culture of a more classical kind, the Zurich Festival (p. 17) offers a whole three weeks of concerts, opera, dance, drama and more. If the fantastic spring weve had is anything to go by, we can look forward to a blazing summer. Were not giving any guarantees though.

Cover story
Spring was so hot in Zurich this year that our editor took to the water and took a few photos for us too. The view is onto the bridge Quaibrcke with the old town and the two towers of Grossmnster abbey in the background.
In Your Pocket has broken much new ground of late, publishing new guides in the Netherlands (Tilburg, with Amsterdam to follow very soon), in Austria (Vienna), in Croatia (ibenik), in Switzerland (Zurich) and in Belarus (Minsk). This year will also see the first non-European Pockets rolled out in South Africa and Mozambique. We also continue to roll out iPhone apps to all our cities. We will be launching even more In Your Pocket guides as apps throughout this year: to find out which cities we will be covering, and to keep up to date with all In Your Pocket news, like In Your Pocket on Facebook (facebook. com/inyourpocket) or follow us on Twitter (twitter. com/inyourpocket).

ArrIVAL & trAnsport

Arriving by train
Zurichs main train station, referred to by locals as HB (short for Hauptbahnhof, say haa-bay), is right in the centre of the city. Zurichs major shopping mile Bahnhofstrasse starts just outside. All international and domestic trains leave and arrive here. From the platforms just follow the herd towards the main hall, where you will find ticket offices and the tourist information. Trams, buses and taxis leave just outside the station. At the ticket office in the main hall you can buy train tickets (available as well at the many ticket machines), tickets for public transport in Zurich and also change money. For time tables and tickets refer to www.sbb.ch or call +41 900 300 300 (1.19Sfr/min). The train station can compete with any shopping centre, with a range of mostly subterranean shops, restaurants, a gym, a medical centre etc. They are all open from 09:00 - 21:00 on weekdays and 09:00 - 20:00 on weekends.

Arriving by plane
Zurich International Airport lies 13 kilometres north of the city centre in the municipality of Kloten and handles around 700 flights a day going to over 170 destinations worldwide. You can find ATMs and information desks at Arrival 1 and Arrival 2 just after you pass customs. The Airport Service Centre is located on the access to Parking 2 on the first floor (watch for signs) offering service and information (hotel bookings, bike rental, showers, baggage room...). Its open from 06:00 - 23:30. Find free copies of Zurich In Your Pocket at the information desk at Arrival 1. There is a big public shopping area with most shops open from 08:00 - 21:00 (groceries from 06:00 - 23:00). To get to town: The easiest and fastest way to get to and from the airport is by train. Take one of the fast trains or slower S-trains leaving from the underground train station near terminals 1 and 2 - if the sign on the platform reads Zrich HB (HB = main station), its the right train. Up to ten trains leave an hour and the journey takes roughly ten minutes. Tickets can be bought at the ticket machines (switch them to English on the first screen) next to the stairs down to the platforms or at the counters. A ticket for an adult is 6.40Sfr and valid for one hour in the whole city (3 zones). If you plan to do more travelling by public transport, make it a 24 hour ticket for just twice the price. A taxi ride to central Zurich costs around 60Sfr. Taxi stands are just outside Arrivals 1 and 2. Only licensed taxis are allowed to pick up passengers. They are generally safe and reliable. Tram N10 takes you from the airport via Oerlikon to Zurich main station as well. The journey takes 37 minutes, same tickets as for the trains are valid. Good option if your hotel is in Zurich Nord.
Arriving by bus
Buses from other European countries arrive at the bus station, two minutes walk north from the main train station. The connections are run by private companies, most connections are to Eastern and Southern Europe. The bus station itself offers very few facilities but you can buy some tickets here. Zurich sightseeing buses start here as well.
Arriving by car
The Swiss highways A1, A2, A3 and A4 lead from all directions to Zurich and if you follow the signs to Zurich City the city centre is quite easy to reach. But parking in the centre is scarce and very expensive. Car parks and hotels charge up to 40Sfr for 24 hours and you can hardly find parking spaces where you can leave your car for more than 90 minutes. Nevertheless we recommend you stow away your car in a car park and use the excellent public transport system. For overnight parking you can try to find a slot in the so-called blue zone in residential areas - parking there is free from 20:00 - 08:00, but you need to indicate your arrival on your parking disk. Driving in Switzerland is generally easy, as roads are in good condition, sign posting is excellent and drivers usually not aggressive. If youre using the motorways you will have to buy a vignette for 40Sfr (available in petrol stations and post offices) to stick on your windscreen. Remember that trams always have right of way, as well as pedestrians on zebra-crossings without traffic lights.
June - July 2011
ArrIVAL & trAnsport

The legal alcohol limit for drivers is 0.05%, which should allow you to have roughly one glass of beer before driving. The standard speed limit is 50km/h in urban areas, 80km/h outside towns and 120km/h on motorways. In residential zones in Zurich, the speed limit is often 30km/h. We strongly advise you to observe the limits carefully as there are dozens of fixed and temporary radar controls in the city. Fines are high and yes, Switzerland has agreements with many European countries to make sure you pay the fine even if you have a foreign number plate. You may use your home driving license in Switzerland as long as it is valid - if the license is a non EU-one and in a language other than French, English, Italian or German it is recommended that it be accompanied by an international one. The ticket system is fairly easy: Zurichs cantonal network is divided into zones. So you do not buy tickets for a trip, but rather for a zone. The network of the city of Zurich is one zone, zone number 10 (see map page 63). Tickets are valid in the chosen zones for a certain time period on all kinds of transport. For getting around the city (zone 10) a day pass valid for 24 hours will cost you 8.20Sfr, a single ticket valid for 1 hour 4.10Sfr. Children up to 5 travel for free, 6 - 16 yearolds pay the so-called half-fare (which actually is 2.90Sfr). These tickets can be purchased at the ticket machines you find at almost every stop. Be aware that the popular lookout Uetliberg and the airport are not within zone 10. If you get caught without a valid ticket, its 80SFr. Another option is the Zurich card (20Sfr/24hrs, 40Sfr/72hrs), which is valid for zone 10 and between the airport and the city, as well as giving you free entry to many museums. Public transport in Zurich runs roughly from 05:00 - 00:30. There are night buses in the nights Fri/Sat and Sat/Sun to all parts of the town. Most of them start at Bellevue and pass by Central and Escher-Wyss Platz. Ask your hotel which night bus is best for you. They require a 5Sfr supplement to any valid ticket. On weekends there are local night train services too (S-trains), supplement required as well.
Taxis
There are 1350 licensed taxis in Zurich and in general they are clean, safe and mostly reliable - and expensive. Its usually easy to get one, even in rush hours like Friday or Saturday nights. All taxis charge the same prices - they are officially set by the city: initial fee 6Sfr, 3.80Sfr per kilometre, 69Sfr per hour. Not all taxi drivers speak English. Taxi drivers have to and usually do use their metres, but for longer distances you can sometimes arrange a price in advance. Cheating is rare.

Public transport
Trains The punctuality of trains in Switzerland is legendary. You can almost set your watch to the departure times and many Swiss trust the station clocks more than any others. The train network is fast, reliable and extensive. For getting around in Switzerland, trains are definitely best - from Zurich there are connections to all the major Swiss cities once or twice an hour. The state owned train company is called SBB. For time tables refer to www.sbb.ch. Tickets are sold on vending machines (switch them to English on the first screen) and at the counters in the main hall at Zurich main train station - clerks usually speak English. You can purchase single and return tickets. Children up to 5 travel for free, from 6 - 16 years they pay the so-called half-fare. If you plan on travelling around Switzerland a lot, get a half-fare card for one month for 99Sfr - and travel for half the fare on all public transport. Buses and Ships Public buses get you from the nearest train station to most every village in the country. The time tables are integrated in the database on www.sbb.ch - or ask at the counter at many stations. Tickets can be bought on board or at vending machines. There is only one operator for each trip - so theres no point comparing prices. There are ships on all the larger Swiss lakes. For information about ships on Lake Zurich, see page 43. City transport Although most distances in Zurich are quite short, public transport can be very useful, especially when the weather is not so friendly. The network includes trams, buses, local trains, ships on the lake and on the river.

Other goods: Max value of all goods: 430 euros for air travellers and 300 euros for other travellers. Goods over these limits must be declared when entering a EU-country, additional taxes and VAT may apply. Starting this summer, duty free shopping will be allowed in Switzerland for arriving passengers as well. In Zurich shops will be opened just next to the baggage claim.
Drinking
The drinking age in Switzerland is 16 for wine and beer and 18 for spirits and alcopops. The standard sizes for beer are the 0.3 litre Stange (pronounce: shtang-eh) and the 0.5 litre Grosses (gro-sus). The long-standing medium-scale brewers (in Zurich youll usually find Feldschlsschen and Hrlimann) are increasingly getting competition from innovative local brewers. Check out Sprint, Paul or Appenzeller for instance. Swiss wines are also not to be underestimated. While the best may come from further south, youll find some very good Blauburgunders (red) and Riesling Sylvaners (white) from the Zurich region. Traditional Swiss spirits are fruit brandies, cherry (Kirsch) and pear (Williams) being the most common.
Customs
Switzerland is not a member of the European customs union. On the one hand that gives you the opportunity to buy real tax-free goods at airports when you are travelling from and to Switzerland. On the other hand there are tight restrictions on the goods you can take free of customs duty from Switzerland to your country. For EU-countries the following customs and tax allowances apply: Tobacco: 200 (50 to some countries) cigarettes or 100 (20) cigarillos or 50 (10) cigars or 250 gr (50) of smoking tobacco.
Electricity
Electricity in Switzerland is 230V, 50Hz AC. Plug sockets are round and take three round pins - they can take europlugs with two pins. If you are coming from the US, UK or Ireland you definitely need an adaptor - as well as from many other countries. In some modern, upmarket hotels you find multiuse sockets.

Emergency telephone numbers: Ambulance: 144 Police: 117 Firebrigade: 118 Operators usually speak basic English. If you need medical attention, there is a medical centre for emergency consultations called Permanence (+41 44 215 44 44) at the main train station (just next to the taxi stand towards Bahnhofstrasse), open every day from 07:00 - 22:00. Zurich has three public hospitals with emergency units which are open 24 hours a day for urgent matters. You can just walk in, service is good, but expect to wait:

Internet/Wi-fi
In the era of laptops and smartphones internet cafs are not as necessary as they were 10 years ago. What you really need are hotspots. Here comes the good news: many cafs in Zurich have free Wi-fi. There is even a free outdoor Wi-fi at Limmatquai, between Central and Rudolf-Brun Brcke simply start your laptop/smartphone, connect and follow the instructions. You will also find the commercial Wi-fi providers Monzoon and Swisscom all over the city.

Mail & Phone

Post Swiss post is generally reliable, and usually its not a problem to find a clerk who speaks some English. Swiss post also can take care of all your financial transactions. There are post offices all over the city - the Sihlpost close to the main train station is the one with the longest opening hours (see below). Public Phones There are still lots of public phones in Zurich. They all take coins, most of them both francs and euros. The newer ones will accept your credit card as well. There are phone cards too: Ask for a taxcard (5, 10 and 20Sfr available) at newsstands or train stations. Switzerlands calling code is +41, Zurichs code is (0)44 or (0)43. When calling from local phones, the first zero of Swiss phone numbers always has to be dialed. When you use the international dial code, the zero has to be skipped (i.e. +41 (Swiss country code) 44 (Zurich area code).To call abroad from a Swiss phone, you have to dial 00 before the country code.

Language
Switzerland has four official languages: German (spoken by 64%), French (20%), Italian (6.5%) and Romansh (0.5%). Zurich lies in the German speaking part of the country, where people speak a German dialect, so called Swiss German or Schwyzerdtsch, which differs from region to region. Be it among friends, at work or when dealing with the authorities, people speak dialect. For anyone who speaks or - even worse - is learning to speak German, this can be tiring because at first its very hard to understand. However, Swiss people use standard German, so-called Hochdeutsch, when writing and speaking at school. When Swiss realise you are a foreigner they will usually switch to standard German. Keep in mind that

Money
The currency and legal tender of Switzerland is the Swiss franc (Sfr), which is divided in 100 rappen. There are banknotes of 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 1,000 francs. The coins in use are 1, 2 and 5 francs as well as 5, 10, 20 and 50 rappen. Lots of shops and restaurants will be happy to take euros as well, but the exchange rate you usually get is bad. You will be better off changing your euros or any other currency at a bank or at the main train station. Banks usually charge a fee if you are not one of their customers. In Zurich the nearest ATM is never far away. Credit cards are widely accepted - both in shops and restaurants. If you are only drinking, its usually appreciated if you pay in cash. Service is always included. However, if you were happy with the service leave 5 - 10% of the bill as a tip. In bars with self service round up the bill to the next franc.
The Swiss franc is quite strong these days. One franc was 0.8 when we went to press.
Safety
Zurich is a safe city, and in fact there is no no-go area, even for women at night. As a visitor you are unlikely to face any problems if you simply use your common sense. Of course some petty crime does exist. Be on guard against pickpockets just as in any European city: in a bar keep your eye on your wallet and your bags.
Smoking
The legal age for smoking is 16. Smoking in public buildings and transport as well as in restaurants and bars became illegal on May 1, 2010. However, in the canton of Zurich, restaurants and bars are allowed to have a separate and served smoking room (fumoir). But only a few venues have installed one. We mark those in our listings with X. So in general, if you are a smoker, do as the others do and step outside for a puff.

Visas
For a stay of up to three months, many foreigners simply need a passport or an ID card to enter Switzerland. Even though not a member of the European Union, Switzerland is a member of the Schengen Agreement. As a result Schengen visas are valid for Switzerland as well. If you have a visa for Switzerland you can travel freely between the Schengen-agreement countries. Always check these details with a Swiss embassy or consulate.
Politics
The Swiss like to consider their country the home of direct democracy and citizens here are regularly asked to take a stand on national issues. The two chambers of parliament are (mainly) elected in a proportional voting system and the seven-member government appointed by parliament always includes representatives of all of the four or five major parties. Switzerland is a federal republic consisting of 26 cantons, once sovereign states which retain some independence and have their own constitutions, parliaments and governments. Bern is the capital and the seat of the parliament and the federal authorities. Due to the understanding of political independence many locals favour, Switzerland is not a member of the EU. Switzerland does, however, cooperate with the EU in many areas, such as on the Schengen visa and border agreement.

Religion
The Swiss are traditionally either Roman Catholic (42%) or Protestant (35%). The largest (and quite new) minority religious community are Muslims (4%). Zurich is traditionally Protestant, due to the ardent reformator Zwingli who put an end to partying here in the 16th century. But dont worry: his grip has loosened somewhat in recent decades.

Seefeld (8)
Seefeld is the name of the district on the eastern shore of the lake. Over the past decade it has become an incredibly popular area to live in - which results in very high rents. There are some worries that this is driving away the areas original inhabitants and spoiling its charm. With all the new residents in the area, scores of trendy bars and restaurants have opened in Seefeld. But of course the major attraction here is the lake: On the lake side there is a promenade with boat rentals, two swimming spots and the ever (over-)crowded Blatterwiese, where you can sunbathe on the grass, barbecue on two electric grills or dine in one of the outdoor restaurants. Dont leave Zurich without having taken in the lake side.
Enge & Wollishofen (2)

The western shore of Lake Zurich is a bit less popular, but thats exactly why its worth a visit. When the Seefeld side is overcrowded on a sunny summer weekend, you might find it more relaxing on this side. For example swimming at Mythenquai, or on Landiwiese, right on the shore. Enge district houses the two gardens Belvoirpark and Rieterpark as well.
Langstrasse (4,5)
The City of Zurich officially has 12 urban districts, called Stadtkreise. They are simply numbered from 1 to 12. However these urban districts are mostly for administrative purposes - we introduce the areas visitors to Zurich should know by the names they are usually known by. The numbers in brackets show roughly which official districts they include. The Langstrasse (long street) is a street connecting districts 4 and 5 through a tunnel underneath the ocean of railway tracks which divide the western part of the city. Some people still think the street and its surroundings are an ugly, unpleasant area - but theyre usually the ones who havent been there for years. It was once the best-known red light district in Switzerland. But in the last decade much has changed: more and more striptease and night clubs have changed into urban bars now very popular with Zurichs young crowd. You will still find strip clubs, some street prostitution and a few alcoholics - but some of the most interesting bars, restaurants and clubs in the city as well (see the nightlife chapter). As a result its Zurichs most cosmopolitan and multi-cultural district, perfect for bar-hopping and with options for partying almost around the clock.
Niederdorf (1)
Niederdorf (the lower village) is the part of the old town lying on the eastern side of the Limmat river between the squares Central and Bellevue. Its teeming with restaurants, bars and, spiteful tongues say, undiscerning visitors from neighbouring canton Argovia (Argovians have to take a bit of flak in Zurich). There is also a sprinkling of adult entertainment, especially in and around Hrringstrasse sex workers of both sexes look for suitors. Most of Niederdorf is a pedestrian area. Its criss-crossed with mediaeval alleys and small squares and a walk through Niederdorf should be part of every visit to Zurich. Especially if you leave very busy Niederdorfstrasse up hill towards Oberdorf you will discover some lovely spots you wouldnt have expected. Along the river on the Limmatquai cafs with outdoor seating are a good excuse to have a drink and watch Zurich go by.
Zrich West (5)

Probably Zurichs fastest developing district, this formerly industrial part of the city is rapidly changing into a new business and residential area. Office space and residential developments have sprouted everywhere, making construction sites a long-term feature. The area around Escher-Wyss-Platz has also become one of the citys entertainment districts with bars, restaurants and clubs springing up like mushrooms over the last 15 years. The first clubs set up in abandoned industrial buildings, but now many have moved into newly built or renovated locations. On the waste land on Geroldstrasse (aka street of clubs), the clubs still have a raw, provisional feel, while the restaurants and bars around the large Abaton multiplex cinema have a more mainstream character. Thanks to its proximity to the train station Hardbrcke with night connections to the suburbs of Zurich, the area is flooded with suburban youngsters on the weekends.
City/Lindenhof (1)
On the western side of the Limmat river lies the Lindenhof quarter, the other part of the old town. Right in its centre, on a small hill, Lindenhofplatz gives you excellent views over Niederdorf. Zurichs citizens held their meetings here in mediaeval times. The alleys and streets near here abound with shops of all kinds and some restaurants and bars. Towards the west, Bahnhofstrasse - one of the worlds most famous shopping streets - marks the border of the Lindenhof district, and on the other side, the so-called City includes Paradeplatz and the financial and business district, spreading out towards the lake. The City is delimited by the Schanzengraben, an artificial moat from the lake to the river Sihl, built in the 17th and 18th century to protect the citizens from all kind of attacks. These days things are more relaxed and you can stroll along the Schanzengraben, mostly on wooden footbridges or stone ledges just by the waterside.
Zrich Nord - Oerlikon (11)

The urban district 11 in the north of Zurich, behind the two hills Kferberg and Zrichberg is often referred to as Zurich Nord. The villages Oerlikon, Affoltern, Seebach merged with Zurich in 1934. Close to the airport, Oerlikon is home to numerous companies today, and to Zurichs biggest event hall Hallenstadion and the trade fair grounds. Lots of housing, offices, parks and hotels have been built here in the past five years.
hIstory
Zurich goes Swiss
XIV - XVI Century The guild revolution left Zurich a little isolated, which led to its alliance with the founding cantons of the Old Swiss Confederacy in 1351. So Zurich joined Switzerland, which had existed as a treaty since 1291. This however didnt stop the city waging war against fellow cantons, such as with Schwyz which got in the way of Zurichs plans for territorial expansion. Soon the city ruled over lands all around Lake Zurich and north all the way to the Rhine, and drew its wealth from craft production, trading across the Alps and the contracting of mercenaries to foreign powers. Soldiers from the Swiss cantons armed with pike and halberd were sought-after mercenaries who fought in all major armies in Europe - occasionally even against each other. They had gained a reputation as formidable fighters, due amongst other things to the victories of the Swiss cantons over the Habsburg kings forces trying to rein them in. Mercenary service wasnt appreciated by all though. It was connected to corruption and moral decay and came to be criticised more and more in the early 16th Century.

Romans and Schwyzerdtsch

100BC - X Century Though human history in Zurich began before the Romans, it seems it was they who gave the city its name. Around 15 BC they established a military base at the site of todays Lindenhof which was called Turicum, and as later inhabitants werent so fluent in Latin, it gradually became the slightly more callous Zurich. On Lindenhof you can find a copy of the Roman tomb stone mentioning Turicum. Roman rule ended around 400 AD and nobody really has any idea what went on in Zurich over the next few centuries. One important development that falls into this obscure period is the arrival of the Germanic tribe of the Allemanni, who brought with them the language that was to become todays Swiss German dialect (Schwyzerdtsch). By the 9th Century Zurich was part of the Carolingian Empire and according to legend the emperor Charlemagne founded Zurichs main cathedral, the Grossmnster. Maybe the man himself never actually turned up in Zurich, but the kings of the Franks did have a secondary residence, a pfalz, on the Lindenhof.
XVI Century Huldrych Zwingli, priest at the Grossmnster, was one of the main critics of mercenary service. But he had a lot more to say on moral matters and became the initiator of the Reformation in Zurich from 1520 on. Apart from banning mercenary service, transferring properties of monasteries and convents to the city and removing decorations from churches, the Reformation meant an end to all frivolous behaviour - drinking, prostitution and actually most fun was forbidden or strictly regulated. This had a lasting effect on Zurich. Some other Swiss cantons followed suit and became Protestant while many remained Catholic - a rift which led to many future conflicts in the Confederacy.
Zurich in womens hands

XII - XIV Century In the 13th Century Zurich became an imperial city, answering only to the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire which had grown out of the Carolingian Empire. Formally Zurich was now headed by a woman - the abbess of the Fraumnster abbey, who however shared power with an elected Reichsvogt, the emperors representative. In 1336 the times began to change. An uprising of Zurichs craftsmen made the newly founded guilds the foundation of Zurichs political structure, weakening the power of the church and the landed gentry (see the emblem of the guild of the shoemakers on the left). Even today people who matter in Zurich belong to one of the Znfte (guilds) and the Sechseluten procession in April is their celebration (see Basics for the exact date). Many of the guild houses, still in use today, are now also restaurants like the Zunfthaus Zur Schmiden or the Zunfthaus am Neumarkt.

The Rduit and the war
XX Century During most of the Second World War Switzerland, formally neutral, was totally surrounded by the Axis powers, making it difficult to import food and other goods. General Guisan prepared for a military attack by posting the army at the borders and hollowing out the Alps, envisaging a guerrilla war from the mountains, the so-called Rduit strategy. From a traditional point of view this is what saved Switzerland from becoming part of Nazi Germany, but more recently historians have suggested that other factors may have been more important, sparking off intense and emotional public debate in the 1990s. Switzerland certainly was an important financial intermediary for the Nazis, allowed freight traffic between Germany and Italy and also supplied Germany with weapon parts.

Napoleon causes a little bother

XVI - XVIII Century During the 16th and 17th Centuries Zurichs wealth and influence increased, making it confident enough to declare itself the Republic of Zurich in 1648. While political power was increasingly monopolised by a few families, new ideas and debate flourished. Among the intellectuals of the time were the educational reformer Heinrich Pestalozzi, historian Johann Jakob Bodmer who had close ties to Jean-Jacques Rousseau, or the painter Johann Heinrich Fssli, whose work youll find today in the Kunsthaus. From 1780 onwards they might have read the Neue Zrcher Zeitung, Zurichs top quality newspaper which still exists today. In 1798 Zurich lost its independence as Napoleon took over, transforming the Swiss Confederacy into the Helvetic Republic, a centralised puppet state which only survived for five years. In once again independent Zurich, political refugees from other parts of Europe found asylum giving momentum to liberal ideas which led in 1831 to the transformation of Zurich to a model liberal state. This meant more democratic structures, an end to the citys domination over the surrounding countryside and an educational reform which resulted in the school houses on Rmistrasse.
XX - XXI Century After the war Switzerlands economy boomed and mass immigration from Southern Europe set in, while culturally and politically Switzerland remained stoutly anti-communist and very conservative. In 1968 and 1980 youth movements clashed with police, rocking Zurich and finally leading to the establishment of several autonomous youth centres. The movement brought new ideas and new cultural life to Zurich, giving it much of the drive it has today and finally shaking off the puritan restrictions Zwingli had implanted. It also spawned Zurichs needle park, the open drug scene on Platzspitz which made Zurich notorious across Europe in the early 1990s. While the official reaction was repressive at first, Zurich shaped Swiss drug politics, introducing innovative controlled heroin programs which got addicts off the streets. Today Zurich is still a major financial centre and has lost the conservative reputation. It has become popular as a place to live for highly-skilled workers from across Europe, since Switzerland signed free-movement agreements with the European Union in 1999. This has made the lack of affordable apartments one of the major topics in Zurich today.
Railways and radical workers

XIX - XX Century Modern-day Switzerland was founded in 1848 as a federation with much closer ties between the cantons than before. The year before, the first railway line in Switzerland was opened. Railways were also the business Alfred Escher was in, the man who for the next few decades dominated Zurich and Swiss politics like no other. Also known as the Tsar of Zurich, he founded large railway companies and was the mastermind of the construction of the Gotthard rail tunnel, finally connecting Italy with Switzerland and Germany in 1880. Eschers statue can be found, not surprisingly, just in front of the main train station at the beginning of Bahnhofstrasse. Switzerland remained neutral during the First World War and was refuge to the likes of James Joyce and the artists who started the Dada movement here. The war did however exacerbate the poverty of the working classes and in 1918 a socialist committee with close contacts to communist Russia called a general strike. The government reacted by sending in the army which clashed with demonstrators in Zurich and brought about the end of the strike. Many of the committees demands were fulfilled, though not the demand for the right of women to vote, which was not introduced until 1971(!).

Summer is definitely a pleasant time in Zurich, even though it doesnt usually mean just sunshine for weeks. Summer is not just the warmest but also the wettest season. Much of the rain comes as thunderstorms, and luckily they pass by as fast as they appear. So if you dont fear an occasional thunder storm there are plenty of great things to do on a hot day in Zurich: swimming places, open air bars and squares to hang out.

Swimming and relaxing on the waters edge

With its lake and the river Limmat, Zurich offers plenty of lovely spots for a swim. Yes, the water in both is cleaner than in most European cities and fine for swimming in. Besides the possibility of just jumping into the lake anywhere (watch out for ships and boats), the city has eleven official outdoor swimming baths on the lake or the river, many with facilities such as cloakrooms, toilets, kiosks etc. For many of them an entrance fee is due (7/5/3.5Sfr), but the ones on the river are usually free. Many also turn into lively open-air bars at night. We list our favourites places by the water below. Remember swimming in the lake and especially the river is only for good swimmers. Bear in mind that there is not necessarily a lifeguard present even in official swimming facilities. Swimming in the Limmat river in between the lake and the river swimming baths Oberer Letten (close to the main station) is forbidden, as there is boat and ship traffic.

nhofquai/Limmatplatz. The river area around the Letten hydro - electric power plant is one of the coolest places to have a swim in summer - or just to hang out with the citys young and fancy crowd. Just behind the National Museum next to the main train station, the river Limmat flows into a canal feeding the power plant. On the left side of the canal (when youre looking downstream) are the official swimming facilities, in a concrete construction by the water (access from Kornhausbrcke, close to Limmatplatz). Entrance is free. Theres a cloak room there, lockers, a lifeguard at certain times and sunbathing areas, one of which is womenonly. In the evening the place turns into the Pier West bar. On the other side of the canal there is a beach volley court and a popular sunbathing area as well as the bar Primitivo which serves drinks and food until midnight. If you walk down the path on the right side of the river from the main station youll soon notice when you get there, but swimming down the canal is the best way to get there - just jump in and float towards the swimming facilities.

Squares to hang out

Idaplatz A-3, 8Lochergut. A little off the beaten tourist track, Idaplatz is one of our favourite squares in town. In walking distance of the eastern end of Langstrasse (tram N 2 direction Farbhof, get off at Lochergut) this square was recently redone by the city. A few trees and benches makes it a relaxing spot without any traffic. In the evening people from the neighbourhood come out for a drink or to play some ptanque on the sandy surface of the square. For drinks and food, there are two bars and a small restaurant with outdoor seating in the buildings surrounding the square. For food we recommend Restaurant Piazza (Idaplatz 2, +41 44 558 95 29). If you are just after a cold beer, you can get cheap ones at the kiosk in the corner of the square. Rosenhof F-3, 8Rudolf-Brun-Brcke. This courtyard-like little square in the Niederdorf part of the old town is circled by bars and restaurants and is one of the meeting points in the evening. The old houses surrounding it set you back to mediaeval times and in hot nights the hustle and bustle give it an almost Mediterranean atmosphere. Either bring your own beer and sit down on one of the steps or get drinks in one of the many bars around the square and get a seat in the outside bar areas. If you walk along Niederdorfstrasse from Central, turn right into the small alley after Hotel Adler to get to the square.

Lake Zurich by Canoe Bachstrasse 7, 8Wollishofen, tel. +41 76 422 77 49, www.gruenerzweig.ch. When the weather is nice, take my advice - take to Lake Zurich in an open canoe. Setting off from the community centre Wollishofen which is right on the lake, a guide takes a group along the shores or across to the other side of the lake. Pirate games or a visit to the fountain in the lake are usually included in the 2 - 3 hours. The guides speak English, French and Spanish. If you are a group of five, you can book your own tour, if not just phone and ask to join the next scheduled tour. Bring shoes for on board (plastic sandals are good), a spare set of clothes, swimming gear, a pocket knife and a bottle of water - paddling is thirsty work.

Cinemas
Zurich has 16 cinemas, lots of them with more than one and the large ones with up to 12 screens. Traditionally films in Switzerland are shown in their original language with German and French subtitles. But the big multiplex cinemas that have displaced some of the smaller ones in the last two decades have started to show more and more movies dubbed in German. In the best case they show two versions of the same movie: one in original language and one dubbed. In smaller cinemas you can still watch all movies in the original language lots of them in English of course. They are marked with the letters Edf in the programmes (English with German (Deutsch) and French subtitles) - a D (capital) indicates the movie is spoken in German. Check the daily newspapers or www.zueritipp.ch for programme and screening times. And dont be surprised when the movie stops after an hour and the lights are turned on - its just the Swiss-style movie break allowing you to fetch another drink or snack. The cinemas we list below usually show films in original versions. Tickets cost somewhere between 15 and 21Sfr, depending on the movie and the category you choose. On Mondays tickets are 13Sfr in all cinemas on all seats.

Zurich at a glance
Eat Local A clean glass box set within the steel girders and peeling paint of a one-time factory hall, La Salle (p. 28) successfully combines the elegance of white tablecloths with an urban relaxedness. This and the good food makes it a favorite place among locals. Have a barbecue at the lakeside: buy meat, vegetables and drinks in a supermarket (i.e. Coop at Stadelhofen station (close to Bellevue, open Sun) and walk along the lake towards Zrichhorn. At the Chinawiese sunbathing area there is a electro grill for free use - perfect for a lovely summer night (grill works only until 22:00). The garage-style restaurant Les Halles (p. 29) offers food from around the Mediterranean with a particularly French touch. The easy style and the fact that its loved by girls too, makes this a good place for you and your mates. The Lade (p. 32) is a lovely little restaurant to invite your better half for dinner. The relaxed atmosphere and the slightly peculiar but very tasty food will impress her/him - we are sure. Drink On a warm summer evening, head over to Idaplatz (p. 15), a square in district Kreis 3, a little off the beaten track. Get a seat in the outdoor areas of the bars around the square or buy some drinks in the kiosk in the corner and join the locals hanging out and chatting through the night. Every summer night urban Zurich hangs out at the open-air bar Xenix at Kanzlei areal (p. 15) enjoying the cheap beers and drinks on offer. A perfect place to feel the Zurich summer. The Xenix is set on a public square, so you can also bring your own drinks, if you want to have a really cheap night out. Do The Werdinsel (p.13), a little Island on the Limmat river, is a true paradise in summer: local families and urbanistas flock it on summer evenings for a barbeque at the riverside or a swim in the river canal. A great place for recreation, swimming and sports.
21
On the Cheap
Swim or relax in one of the free public river pools. We like the Oberer Letten (p. 13) even though it usually is really crowded on hot days. There is a bar and food on sale.
Lads
Valmann (p. 38) in the financial district is the place for after work fun that most probably leads to dancing sooner or later. Leave your tie at home and move your ass to the beats.
Be your own captain - on a sightseeing tour by canoe (p. 15). A guide takes you along the shores of the lake and via the moat even into the city. Great for adventurers like you and your mates.
For Couples
What could be more romantic than a cocktail above the rooftops of Zurich? Bar Jules Verne in the tower of the cities observatory offers the best city view. Get a table at the window an enjoy the evening with your love.
Tucked into a curve of the old moat, the so-called Schanzengraben, which was part of the citys fortification in mediaeval times, the Old Botanical Garden (p.46) is great for a romantic walk. If you and your partner need some magic, the Ethnographic museum with hundreds of implements for magic or other rituals is located in the garden too. If you are young, rich and beautiful or want to party with the like, the Jade (p. 40) club might be the right thing. for you. Dress up and have some cash or a credit card handy, as the style here is to order the spirits by the bottle.
High end
The high rooms, the wood casing and the mirrors make for an upmarket atmosphere in the Orsini (p. 28) restaurant. The Italian food from pasta to meat and fish specialties is great - an appropriate place for you and your business partners or a classy night out. A restaurant, a delicatessen, a self service bar - and all this in a former industrial hall, this is restaurant Les Halles (p. 29) in Zrich West. The food is excellent - and if you feel like buying one of the bicycles hanging from the ceiling, no problem. Just ask for the price at the bar.
For an assorted wine menu and delights of tapas (international style) close to Bahnhofstrasse, the Sein bar (p. 36) ist the right place. A stylishly designed bar, but not lacking the cosy feel.
Unexpected
Grab one of those old rock t-shirts of yours you thought you were never going to wear again and enter KON-tiki bar (Niederdorfstrasse 24) - a place for rock and heavy metal fans. Take a seat at one of the three counters, ask for a chlpfte and watch the barmen slam down a fizzy drink in a shot glass. Pour it down your throat as long as its fizzing. And dont forget to order another one.
The Paelontologial Museum (p. 46) displays large and small animals, stuffed or as skeletons: jaguars, kangaroos, platypuses and giant crabs. Youll be amazed what exists in the animal kingdom. All this and much more you get for fee. An unexpected Zurich experience, great, not just for kids.

where to stAy
Zurich is a business destination first and foremost - and hotel rates reflect that. From Friday night to Monday morning, prices often drop sharply. Why not take advantage of this and spend a weekend in one of the many four- and five-star hotels in the city? Despite this, accommodation in Zurich remains rather pricey and real budget accommodation is rare. But nevertheless there is something for any taste and almost any budget. In Switzerland hotels are officially categorized with stars from one to five. The categorization is done by hotelleriesuisse, the national hoteliers association. A hotel can also receive the supplement superior, indicating a higher level of service and quality. We list the hotels according to their official classification in the following categories: Cream of the Crop*****, Upmarket****, Mid-range*** and Budget (0 to **). Outside this classification we list pensions - usually small and with less services than a hotel - and hostels. The prices indicated include VAT. The city tax is 2.50Sfr per night and is usually additional. them come with a balcony or a terrace looking out onto the lake - with a view of the Alps, if visibility is good. There are junior suites and suites with a separate room for your business meetings. For families, some rooms can be connected by means of an additional door in the entrance area. Every Thursday there is live jazz in the Eden Bar on the ground floor and in the restaurant Eden French chef Denis Schmitt definitely has more to offer than just his good reputation. Q50 rooms (singles 450 - 590Sfr, doubles 690 - 765Sfr, business suite 1180Sfr). Breakfast 40Sfr, Wi-fi 6Sfr/1hr, 26Sfr/24hrs.

The luxury Park Hyatt built in 2004 in the middle of Zurichs business district will impress you. The very spacious standard rooms have full-height windows, free-standing sea-shell bathtubs, a B&O sound and TV system and more. As its just a short walk to Bahnhofstrasse or to the lake, the Park Hyatt is just as good a choice for your business trip as it is for exploring Zurich. Needless to say there is a first-class restaurant (parkhuus) and an upmarket bar (Onyx Bar) on the ground floor, as well as a spa with sauna and steam bath. If a standard room doesnt quite match your needs, there are executive and deluxe rooms and suites with uncountable amenities. Q142 rooms (singles 490 - 1050Sfr, 130 doubles 640 - 1200Sfr, 11 suites 1790 - 4400Sfr, 1 presidential suite 5500 - 6400Sfr).

The fabulous Widder is situated in nine former residential houses in the mediaeval old town, with the prestigious Bahnhofstrasse just around the corner.

Meet the concierges
Sheraton Zurich Neues Schloss Hotel D-5,
The citys hotel concierges are - together with Zurich In Your Pocket of course - an important source of information for travellers. Good concierges will be able to give you restaurant and sightseeing tips as well as book tickets or find answers to almost all your questions. In this issue we spoke to Attila Csendes and Frederik Kubierschky, who have both been working as concierges at the Park Hyatt Zurich for four years now. They are members of Les Clefs dOr Suisses, the Swiss concierge association.
What guests request... Our most common requests
are limousine transfers, restaurant reservations, flight or travel amendments and of course dealing with DHL, FedEx and Swiss Post. One memorable request was to organise a stretch-limousine to the Kongresshaus, which is only about a half-minute walk away from the hotel.

Must-sees in Zurich... Dont miss the old town, especially Bahnhofstrasse, Paradeplatz, Niederdorf, the churches Gross- und Fraumnster, the opera house and the city hall Stadthaus. When it comes to museums, we recommend the Swiss National Museum, the Museum Rietberg, the Kunsthaus (art museum) or the FIFA headquarters and the university for the architecture, and of course the Uetliberg, the so-called House Mountain of Zurich. For an extraordinary shopping arcade try Viadukt. And last but most important, our beautiful lake of course. What we personally love about Zurich... Zurich offers everything you need for an exciting life: shopping, restaurants, bars, clubs... As well as art, theatre, opera, special concert places like Moods... It is safe, clean and has an outstanding charm. The lifestyle is multicultural, young, modern and last but not least a little bit crazy too... This makes our hotel special The Park Hyatt combines modern lifestyle and traditional Swiss core values, but what is most important: its a home for our honoured guests. Its location is just perfect, right in the centre of the citys financial and commercial district and surrounded by the major financial houses around Paradeplatz, yet only steps away from the fashionable boutiques on Bahnhofstrasse, the lake and the sights in the old town. Our 5-star house combines modern amenities and natural elements with contemporary design and boasts unique pieces such as the Ingo Maurer Porca Miseria! chandelier. Our gastronomy is definitely remarkable too, be it the renowned parkhuus restaurant with its central show kitchen, the buzzing Lobby Lounge, the deli-style Caf Z or the vibrant Onyx Bar. Restaurants we recommend... For fine dining try Kronenhalle, Veltlinerkeller, Lindenhofkeller or Heugmper or the Swiss cuisine of the Isebhnli. The Sala of Tokyo, and Ginger are our tips if Japanese is what you are after. Other restaurants you cant go wrong with: Kaufleuten, Taos, Josef, Brasserie Schiller, LaSalle, Brasserie Lipp, Le Chef, Seerose. Zurich In Your Pocket is... a great tool for visitors
to Zurich.

Zurich has around 1,500 restaurants, bars and takeaways. No wonder you can find almost any kind of food imaginable: from down-to-earth Swiss to traditional Vietnamese, from Lebanese to Japanese and back again. But today many restaurants also cook in a mlange, international style and are not easily categorized. Nevertheless we have tried. We list the places we recommend within any particular category. The prices in brackets indicate the cheapest and most expensive main courses. For lunch, lots of restaurants offer special deals, usually considerably cheaper. Note that many restaurants close their kitchens between roughly 14:00 and 17:30 and in the evening at 22:00 or 23:00. In July and August, some smaller restaurants close down for a few weeks. We have indicated this wherever possible. The letter and the number (e.g. A-1) after the venue name indicate the coordinates for finding it on the map in the back of this guide.

43 243 65 45. The welcome is warm and usually in English in this small Indian restaurant that shares its entrance with the Hotel Villette. The interior with the long wooden bench along the wall is rather unassuming with just a few Asian ornaments to brighten it up. Their vegetarian speciality - peas, mushrooms and tomato - also sounds unimpressive, but its a wonderful dish with delicately balanced spices. Meat, fish and paneer cheese dishes are also on the menu and the chicken chettinad e.g. is excellent. The spices are usually adjusted to European tastes, but if you want it hot just tell the waiter. Warmly recommended. QOpen 11:00 - 14:00, 18:00 - 23:00, Sat & Sun 18:00 - 23:30. (22 - 36Sfr). JA

The Fujiya offers a variety of menus with 5 to 9 courses (69 - 150Sfr): from salads and soups through to sashimi and sushi and deserts. Teppanyaki lets you enjoy the smell of the fragrant ingredients while the chef cooks them in front of you - definitely a remarkable though quite pricey experience.

What strikes you first is the architecture: a clean glass box set within the steel girders and peeling paint of a one-time factory hall with a sumptuous white chandelier hanging from the steel and glass ceiling, a touch of extravagance within the cool functionalism. LaSalle successfully combines the elegance of white tablecloths with an urban relaxedness. The menu is also a combination, of Italian and French influences with the occasional detour, like the octopus-papaya salad. Fish is a standard feature, as are the wonderfully tender home-made ravioli or the liver of veal which was cooked to perfection.

Swiss cuisine
What the Swiss like to eat at home and when out is heavily influenced by their neighbours cuisine, especially the Italians. But what is real Swiss cuisine? Most Swiss would probably say: ksefondue (cheese fondue), a hot soup of cheese and white wine eaten by dunking cubes of bread in it. Delicious, but the smell can take getting used to. Raclette is another cheese speciality, melted cheese on potatoes served with different pickles and sides. Wrste or sausages are also very Swiss, the bratwurst (usually veal) and cervelat (pork) being the most common. Zri gschntzlets is a traditional Zurich dish, thin strips of veal cooked in a cream sauce, often with mushrooms. This is often served with rsti, a cake of fried grated potatoes, a bit like Spanish tortilla but also on the list of Swiss traditionals. Switzerland also has an impressive range of breads to go with the cheeses, e.g. the rich zopf (plaited loaf) is a favourite for Sunday breakfasts. Fondue chinoise and fondue bourgignonne are not traditionally Swiss, strictly speaking, but these two meat fondues are very popular too. Both involve dipping meat into a pot, full of either hot broth (chinoise) or oil (bourgignonne) and then enjoying with a range of sauces and sides.

Be it chateaubriand, zrcher geschnetzeltes (veal in bite-size pieces) or grilled common sole - the chef definitely knows his trade. Happily the latest trends in gastronomy havent made it to the Veltlinerkeller so dont expect anything fancy, but good traditional food in a homely atmosphere, set by the walls lined with Swiss stone pine.

Breakfast
Sunday breakfast is an institution in many Swiss families. Zopf is one of the mainstays of Swiss breakfasts, a rich white bread baked in the shape of a braid, and is served with butter, jams, honey, cheeses or cold meats. Swiss bakeries bake a huge variety of breads - rye bread, maize bread or potato-and-walnut bread to name just a few - which add to the breakfast spread. Buttery croissants, called gipfeli in Swiss German, are also a favourite. For many train commuters breakfast is a gipfeli and a cup of coffee on the fly. Another breakfast dish with strong roots in Switzerland is mesli, made of oat flakes, grated apple, ground hazelnuts and yoghurt in the classic birchermesli version. Many Swiss dont consider breakfast complete without one of the many takes on the mesli-theme. Eggs in different variations, coffee, tea and juices are also standard. In recent years, brunch has become very popular in Switzerland and in Zurich many restaurants and cafs now serve breakfast or brunch until noon or even later. The concepts vary - traditional, luxurious, exotic, English. Many places only do brunch on the weekends. Here come our favourites:

Zurichs nightlife offers classy clubs, casual and alternative bars, as well as live-music venues and strip clubs. On the weekend people from almost half of Switzerland come to the city to have a good time. The main nightlife areas are Niederdorf in the old town, the streets around Langstrasse and Zurich West (see Zurichs districts). There is a lively club scene - but with dozens of bars around, bar-hopping can be just as much fun. A night out in Zurich can be great, but quite expensive. If youre heading for bars and clubs have some cash handy, as not all venues take credit cards. If you prefer it on the quiet side, there are wine and cocktail bars in the old town and around Paradeplatz. Check out our listings below - for open-air bars see page 14. 43 244 09 09, www.riozurich.ch. The really great thing about the Rio Bar is definitely its cosy outdoor area. The tables on the little square next to the Sihl river (the smaller of Zurichs two rivers) are the perfect place for a coffee after shopping or an early evening beer (Zurichs Turbinenbru on tap). Indoor its tiny but definitely en vogue with the dark wooden bar. For lunch there is a menu which changes daily and in the evening there are antipasti and sandwiches for snacks.

Alternative bars
el Lokal D-3, Gessnerallee 11, 8Sihlpost, tel. +41 43 344 87 50, www.ellokal.ch. This admirably weird place in the city centre is home to a slightly alternative crowd. A big skeleton overlooks the bar, and the walls from the gallery down to the ground floor are decorated with huge maps which have been painted over with portraits. In summer hundreds of people sit outside on the waterside of the Sihl river enjoying food from the barbecue. There is usually football and often concerts (with admission). QOpen 10:00 - 24:00, Fri 10:00 - 02:00, Sat 11:00 - 02:00, Sun 14:00 - 24:00. EK Helsinki K-7, Geroldstrasse 35, 8Escher-Wyss Platz, www.helsinkiclub.ch. The Helsinki is a great little alternative bar and club located next to Hardbrcke train station in Zurich West. Situated in a former garage, lots of Swiss and sometimes foreign bands hit the stage, often singersongwriters. Check out the programme on the website - or just go there and give it a try. The admission fee is usually low and if no one is playing live, there is a notable jukebox and a well equipped bar in a minimalistic and trashy atmosphere. QOpen 20:00 - late. Closed Mon & Wed. E

Sit at the wooden tables and enjoy a glass of one of the twenty bottled wines that are sold here by the glass.

Walk through the museum shop of the Cabaret Voltaire (where Dada is claimed to have been born) and climb the stairs - and you will be in a small bar with comfy chairs and tiny wooden tables. The unpainted walls give it the desired artistic alternative touch - some of the cheapest beer in town (3dl 3.80Sfr) draws students and travellers here. But the venue is well worth a visit even if you are neither. If there is no event in the big hall, you can sit there as well. QOpen 12:00 - 24:00, Sun 12:30 - 18:30. Closed Mon.

A special challenge awaits you there: climb over two ceiling beams and drink a free glass of wine hanging upside down. If you make it, you will be allowed to carve your name into the wooden walls - what an honour. Give it a try, but be warned: it is not easy. Make sure you respect the written

The Schlauch is a traditional restaurant in the old town which has about a dozen billiards tables on its premises. Being the only place in the city centre offering the opportunity to play pool (as far as we know at least), tables are often busy. But as the Schlauch is a restaurant too, you simply let the guys put you on the reservation list and sit down and have a beer or two. They serve hearty organic food as well - so why not have dinner before you play some sports? QOpen 10:00 - 24:00. Closed Mon & Sun.

Hundreds of dimly gleaming old-fashioned light bulbs on the ceiling and the red plush on the wall make you think you are entering a burlesque strip bar of the old days.

Instead the hip crowd has taken over to party all week long: the small dance floor upstairs with a DJ is packed every night. QOpen 20:00 - 03:00, Fri & Sat 20:00 - 04:00. Closed Mon, Sun. X
When you think beer, you probably dont immediately think Switzerland. And indeed we do not produce one of the big-brand beers nor are we the worlds top beer drinkers: with an average consumption of 57 litres per citizen and year, we are far behind Europes top nations like the Czech Republic (160 litres), Germany (114 litres) or the United Kingdom (101 litres). But that doesnt mean Swiss breweries dont brew some fine beers. The most common beer here is lager, with a taste that is in general a bit milder than you may be used to. Most brands feature a so-called special brew (spezli), usually brewed with extra hops which gives it a bitterer taste. You can also get unfiltered and cold-filtered Swiss beers and wheat beer is usually on the menu too, but often imported from Germany. Globalization has put many mid-scale breweries out of business in the last decade or so. Many of them are now owned by Europes biggest players on the beer market Carlsberg and Heineken. Many brands still exist, but are brewed centrally and no longer in their cities of origin. Zurichs traditional brewery for example, Hrlimann, merged with the biggest Swiss brewery Feldschlsschen in 1996 and stopped brewing beer in Zurich, before both were taken over by giant Carlsberg. These mergers gave rise to a new phenomenon on the beer market: local brewers unhappy with their beer being brewed outside their city started to brew their own beer, so that today we have a handful of small but successful breweries in Zurich. In many of Zurichs restaurants youll still be served the solid lagers Feldschlsschen or Hrlimann on tap - but we recommend giving the new Zurich beers a try as well. You find them in an increasing numbers of venues, be it bottled or on tap: Turbinenbru Established after the closing of the Hrlimann brewery, Turbinenbru quickly became the biggest brewery in the city. Try their Sprint, full-bodied and very drinkable special beer with a bitter note. Start is their wheat beer, while Rekord is a special brew with a touch more malt. Bier Paul Brewed by Ralf Paul, master brewer from Zurich, this beer clearly has Zurich roots, though technically its brewed outside the city (actually in the countryside of neighbouring canton Aargau which Zrcher love to hate). The beer Paul 01 is a classy, tangy special beer, a bit bitterer than a Lager, but definitely for everyday use. Paul 02 is dark, unfiltered and malty. They have different specialities according to the season. Amboss Amboss comes in four different tastes: Blonde (lager), Spez (bitter), Weizen (wheat) and Amber (mild and sweet). Established in 1991, Amboss has a large and ever-growing fan group. Even though at least part of it is now produced in the canton of Zug, this is a fine regional beer.

Adult entertainment
If you are looking for sins of the flesh, and then probably youre male, Zurich offers what you can expect from a city of its size - though its far from being a sex destination. In Switzerland prostitution is legal, so in Zurich you can find everything from strip bars to sex clubs and brothels. Street prostitution is allowed in certain areas - for example at Hringstrasse in Niederdorf and in the northern part of the street Sihlquai next to Limmatplatz. Broadly speaking you have three options: Most of the strip clubs - which are called nightclubs or cabarets - are located in the Niederdorf part of the old town or around Langstrasse west of the main train station. What you can expect there are expensive drinks (i.e. 20Sfr for a beer) and shows with half-naked ladies dancing on a pole until they are entirely naked - some offer table dance. Admission is mostly free and when you take a seat a girl will sit next to you trying to get you to buy her a high-priced drink - or you can buy yourself a private dance. Interaction is usually not possible in these clubs. Below you find a selection of reliable nightclubs listed. Brothels, sex and sauna clubs are generally situated in the suburbs or just outside the city where access with a car is easy. In the city you find such establishments around Hringstrasse in Niederdorf and around Dienerstrasse in the Langstrasse district. There are also many expensive escort-services - check the web to find many listings.

Dress to impress is the motto, and for some people here looking the part seems to be very important. Nevertheless, its a good place for a classy night out.

As in other places, many prosititutes work because they have few other income options or, even worse, because they are forced to.

Zurich is undoubtedly Switzerlands gay and lesbian capital and is in general quite gay-friendly. What better proof than the election of openly lesbian Corinne Mauch as mayor in 2009? Zurichs vibrant gay and lesbian scene was one of the driving forces in creating todays club culture. Of course, some of the gay/lesbian venues if youre hetero. Zurichs GLBT calendar has several major events, all in spring or summer. For over ten years a Christopher Street Day has been held in June. Renamed Zurich Pride Festival in 2010, this is a four-day event with parties, open-air bars and a march, as even in Zurich discrimination still exists (16 - 19.6.2011). For some this is getting too mainstream, giving rise to the Off-Pride. In spring the Pink Apple film festival shows gay and lesbian films from all over the world and awards a prize to a young director. But the lesbian and gay scene is also very lively, big events aside. Whether youre looking for a gay-friendly bar to relax in, gay and lesbian clubbing or venues of a more raunchy kind, youll find it in Zurich. In the way of clubbing there are a number of events which only take place occasionally, so check out the websites or ask in some of the bars. shared. If you book on the internet, prices can be slightly lower. Parking in the in-house garage is 28Sfr a night. Q (5 singles 140 - 170Sfr, 14 doubles 170 - 190Sfr, 3 suites 270 - 380Sfr). JA6LW hhh

The part of the city behind the two hills Kferberg and Zrichberg is commonly referred to as Zurich Nord. The districts 7, 11 and 12 used to be independent villages and merged with the city in 1934. Close to the airport they nowadays host many international companies, the trade fair, some hotels and more and more restaurants and bars. You definitely dont have to go to the city centre (even though its close) to have a good night out. Check out our favourites below: and three homemade sauces. The menu features pasta as well - but come on, who needs pasta if theres meat? QOpen 09:00 - 23:30. Closed Sun. Kitchen open: 11:00 - 22:00 (30 - 47Sfr.). AB

Lake Zurich
Main sights
If you ask someone from Zurich which of the citys sights represents Zurich best, theyll probably point to the Grossmnster, its unmistakable double towers making it the closest Zurich has to a landmark. Wasserkirche and Fraumnster complete the trinity of famous churches. Lindenhof is where Zurich started off and is a lovely spot today, while the central police station is another unlikely lovely spot unless maybe youre escorted there. Its entrance hall is splendidly decorated with work by Giacometti. But two of Zurichs major attractions are not man-made at all: the lake and the Uetliberg peak.
The lake is certainly one of the citys highlights and a walk along the shores is a must if youre in Zurich, whatever the season. Start for example at Bellevue and walk along the promenade towards Zrichhorn. After a few hundred metres a park with trees and a lawn fills the expanse between the lake and the street. The huge Blatterwiese, also known as Chinawiese because the Chinese garden is just next to it, is popular for relaxing, sunbathing or playing sports. There is also a playground for kids. Continuing you get to Zrichhorn, a small delta with some lakeside restaurants and a small casino and later still to the railway station Tiefenbrunnen where you can hop on a tram (or train) back to Bellevue. The western shore of the lake is a bit less popular though just as nice for a walk. Start at the Arboretum and walk along the shore passing Enge port, the cactuses of the Sukkulentensammlung, and the Mythenquai until you reach the Landiwiese, a large field where many cultural events take place. If you go just a little further, you can enjoy a beer in the restaurant of the offstream cultural centre Rote Fabrik, red factory, marked by the red brick factory chimney.
The lighting makes Giacomettis mural glow - striking.

Fraumnster E-4, Stadthausquai 19, 8Helmhaus. Today most people come to Fraumnster to see the magnificent stained glass windows in the choir created by French artist Marc Chagall in the early nineteen-seventies, or the windows by Augusto Giacometti (see box p. 44). But in days gone by this Gothic abbey dating from the 9th century was more than just pretty. Fraumnster, which literally means womens abbey, belonged to the Benedictine convent whose abbess had wide powers in Zurich. Women came on harder times in the 16th century. The little archway on the outer corner of Fraumnster (Poststrasse/Mnsterhof) was used to limit decadence and elaborate clothing, and womens wide hoop skirts had to fit through here, or else a fine was due. No visiting during Sunday services. QOpen 10:00 - 18:00. Giacometti murals E-3, Polizeiwache, Bahnhofquai 3, 8Bahnhofquai/HB.

whAt to see
Grossmnster F-4, Grossmnsterplatz, 8Helmhaus.
The two towers of the originally Romanesque Grossmnster are Zurichs landmark and they also offer a great view over Zurich, if you make it up the 187 narrow steps (4/2Sfr admission for the tower, open 10:00 - 17:00, Sun 12:30 - 17:30). According to legend, Felix and Regula, Zurichs patron saints, were beheaded at the site of the Wasserkirche and then walked up to where the Grossmnster stands, taking their heads with them. Centuries later the emperor Charlemagne was passing through Zurich and decided to found a church in honour of the martyrs - after a hint from his horse. Since the Reformation the church has a barren feel, alleviated only by the windows. Recently deceased German artist Sigmar Polke finished 12 simply beautiful windows in 2009, some made of semi-precious stones. Crypt and cloister with museum on the Reformation are also accessible. Also see the box The Giacomettis. QOpen 10:00 - 18:00.
Lindenhof E-3, 8Rathaus. This idyllic square on a little hill in Zurichs centre used to be an important place. The Romans set up shop here and later mediaeval royals would stay here when travelling in the region. Check out the replica Roman tomb stone in the right-hand wall of Pfalzgasse leading down and out of the square. The view from here over the Limmat is very pretty and on sunny days you can join in a game of chess at the back of the square.

There is a train (S 10 from track 1 or 2) from the main station twice an hour (more on weekends). Be aware that you need an additional ticket even if you have a day pass for Zurich (buy a 1 - 2 additional zones day ticket at the ticket machine). From the terminal station its an easy 10-minute walk to the peak with the lookout tower (free access) and a restaurant. You can also walk up from the city to the peak. Take tram N13 in direction Albisgetli and get off at the last stop. From there two different quite steep paths lead to the top, both taking about an hour. An easier way is to take the train and get off one stop before the top at Ringlikon, from where a gently climbing path leads you in roughly 40 minutes to the lookout point on the Uetliberg. You do not need hiking equipment, but we recommend good shoes and staying on the path.
Wasserkirche F-4, Limmatquai 31, 8Helmhaus. The

The striking, elongated, haggard bronze figures are what Alberto Giacometti (1901 - 1966) is best known for, and Zurich is a great place to see them, as the Kunsthaus houses one of the best collections of his work worldwide. Giacomettis portrait and work adorn todays 100Sfr banknotes. But Zurich actually has more - more Giacomettis that is. Albertos father, Giovanni Giacometti (1868 1933), and his cousin Augusto Giacometti (1877 - 1947), were successful artists in their own right. All of them came from mountainous and very poor Val Bregaglia on the southeastern edge of Switzerland. Giovannis (post-)impressionist paintings, mainly of his beautiful mountain home, were recently shown in a large retrospective, and some of them are on display in the Kunsthaus. Augusto had the strongest connection to Zurich, as he studied and later lived here. Some of his best work is also here. He revitalised the art of stained-glass windows, creating the choir windows in the Grossmnster (1932), the window depicting paradise in the northern transept of the Fraumnster (1945) and windows in the Wasserkirche. The piece of work he made his name with, however, are the murals in the vaulted entrance hall of Zurichs police headquarters (1923 - 25).
Wasserkirche, water church, is on the banks of the Limmat - but still, why the name? Actually, it was on an island in the river until the Limmatquai was built in 1839. Dating at least from the 10th century, what you see today is late Gothic style from the 15th century. See also the stained glass windows by Augusto Giacometti in the choir and the crypt with tombs almost as old as the church. A statue of forbidding Huldrich Zwingli stands at one end. Under the stone arches outside, the Kunstkiosk (art kiosque) sells books and prints and street musicians set up shop. If you get lucky youll hear the accordionist who gives masterful Bach recitals.

Animals like lemurs or giant tortoises can move freely around in the hall as you watch and walk by on a path through the forest. Keep your eyes peeled, probably a chameleon is sitting on a branch right next to you. But the rainforest is not the only thing worth seeing. Since 1992 Zurich Zoo has gradually been changing the traditionalstyle enclosures into whole ecosystems which better meet the animals needs: a Indian dry forest for the lions, a Eurasian wetland, Himalaya mountains (snow leopards, wolfs, Siberian tiger) and African mountains (gelada monkeys, Nubian ibex) have already been opened.

Alfred Escher E-2, Bahnhofplatz, 8Hauptbahnhof. Alfred Escher (1819 - 1882), railway pioneer and once one of Switzerlands most powerful men, now stands as a statue fittingly in front of the main train station. Situated above an elaborate fountain, he looks down Bahnhofstrasse between the tram lines and the street. Hans Waldmann F-4, Mnsterbrcke, 8Helmhaus. Just across from the Fraumnster the statue commemorates Hans Waldmann (1435 - 1489), once general and mayor of Zurich. That may not be so surprising now, but at the time of his death a statue would have been out of the question. Originating from a simple background, he defeated Charles, Duke of Burgundy, in 1477. Later on however, his popularity waned and he was sentenced and beheaded.

Predigerkirche F-3, Zhringerplatz, 8Rudolf-Brun-
Brcke. The elegant, Gothic forms of the Predigerkirche are only visible from one side, as on the other side it is partly integrated into the citys central library. First mentioned in 1231, the preachers church was run by monks of the Dominican order, who put an emphasis on spreading the word.

Stories of the Old Town - Guided walk E-2, Tourist
St. Peter E-4, St.-Peter-Hofstatt, 8Paradeplatz. St. Peter church is the one with the huge clock-faces on all four sides of the tower you can spot from far away. The diameter of the clock-faces is almost 9 metres - they are said to be the biggest in Europe. The church is situated on a small hill in the old town. Around 1230 a Romanesque church was built there and the choir and the tower are still standing today. The first mayor of Zurich, Rudolf Brun, was buried here in 1360 - a copy of his tomb stone can be seen on the northern side of the church. The nave of the church was finished in 1706 and was the first church in Zurich that was built as a Protestant place of worship after the Reformation. Above the churchs pulpit the name of God is written in Hebrew, showing the Reformations emphasis on the original languages of the bible. There is a baptismal font from the 16th century worth seeing as well as some richly carved wooden chairs that were saved from the citys monasteries when they were shut down. There are some faded mediaeval murals in the choir. QOpen 08:00 18:00, Sat 10:00 - 16:00, Sun 11:00 - 17:00.

oLd-town stroLL
Stroll through the old town (1hr)
of pedestrian Niederdorf (see page 10), the other part of the old town. The cultural references come hard and fast now. On the right is Cabaret Voltaire, from where the Dada movement - jolifanto bambla o falli bambla - set off to confuse the bourgeoisie in 1916. A little further on to the left, set back in a little courtyard, is Schober (see page 34), a richly decorated sweets and pastry shop worth at least a quick visit. Directly opposite are Schwarzenbach coffee roasters - the irresistible smell gets even better if you stick your nose inside. Strolling further along Mnstergasse you pass the Bodega Espaola (see page 29) on your right, that is if you dont drop in for a beer and a plate of tapas. Here one of the few Swiss authors of world renown, Max Frisch, met with other writers in the 1940s to 1960s. A few steps along youre at Zurichs landmark Romanesque style abbey, the somewhat austere Grossmnster wi th its double towers and their rather unique, Neo-Gothic spires added in the 18th century. Looking towards the river, the third bridge, Mnsterbrcke, appears and the graceful Fraumnster Abbey is visible across the Limmat. If you trace a line between the two mnsters, the Wasserkirche or water church comes to lie in the middle, completing the holy trinity. Take the steps from the Grossmnster courtyard down to the Wasserkirche (see page 44) and the Helmhaus art gallery by the river and then cross the bridge to Fraumnster (see page 43) to gaze at the famous stained-glass windows by Chagall. Youve seen all the really important parts of Zurichs old town now and can finish off with one of Zurichs other major attractions - the lake - which is just five minutes walk further along the river.
Between Fraumnster church and the lake lies Zurichs Art AG Nouveau quarter. Zurichs old town snuggles up to both banks of the river Limmat, so our old-town stroll does much the same and heads upstream, crossing two bridges and passing a third. We set off at the bridge named after Zurichs first mayor, Rudolf-Brun Brcke, which is easily reached from Bahnhofstrasse or by walking along the Limmat (down Bahnhofquai) from the main train station. At the bridges south-western corner, just by the Swiss handicrafts shop, head down the steps to the metal walkway leading upstream along the Limmat, almost touching the water (Heiri-Steg). Soon youre on a cobbled street (Schipfe), with some miniature antiques shops and boutiques on the right and the restaurant Schipfe 16, a work project for unemployed and well worth a quick stop, on the left. Just after Schipfe 16 take the climb up to Lindenhof (see page 44), just turn right and up Fortunagasse and then left into Lindenhof with its tall trees, one of the oldest parts of Zurich. The mediaeval German kings would stop over here and the Romans also occupied the spot in their day and age. Take in the view over the parapet or play with the royals who are always here, in one of the games of outdoor chess. Leaving Lindenhof opposite from where you entered (down Pfalz-Gasse), theres a copy of the Roman tombstone which mentions Turicum (Zurich) on your right, set in the wall. Ahead of you is the church tower of St. Peter (see page 47), our next destination situated on one of Zurichs most peaceful squares (St. Peterhofstatt). Going left one of the alleys (Weggengasse or Thermengasse) gets you to the second bridge, Rathausbrcke, also known as the vegetable bridge because of the small fruit & veg market held here on Saturdays. On the other end of the bridge you have the Rathaus, the town hall, to your right and the Rathaus caf to your left, a good place for an outdoor coffee if the weather is friendly. Our rigorous ramble takes us straight ahead, across the tram lines on Limmatquai and into Marktgasse, where youll find, by the way, one of Zurichs prettiest flower shops. Turn right at the top of Marktgasse and now youre on the main throughway

Zurich has the reputation of a shopping city, even if not quite that of London or Milano. Especially Bahnhofstrasse is well known around the globe as one of the most exclusive and expensive shopping streets in the world. In the way of shopping malls, Switzerland cant match other European countries where huge centres are the order of the day. But maybe thats a good thing. The Sihlcity Shopping Centre, an easily reachable mall opened in 2007, is an example of an innovative development without being a giant. The malls and best shopping areas of the city are listed here. Remember all shops are closed on Sundays except at the railway stations. 8Rennweg, tel. +41 44 211 04 44.

Bahnhofstrasse (E-2/5)The Bahnhofstrasse leads from the main railway station to the lake and is mostly a pedestrian area almost without traffic - but watch out for the trams! Its world-famous for its luxury stores: find jewellery, watches and designer boutiques as well as the big department stores Jelmoli, Globus and Manor here. A walk down this famous street is a must for every shopping fan. Wander into the side streets as well, where shops are no less luxurious and some more unusual little gems are hidden. Niederdorf (F-3/4) Even if Niederdorf - the part of the old town east of the river Limmat - is better known for dining and nightlife than for shopping, its well worth expanding your shopping tour into this quarter. Along the Limmatquai and Niederdorf streets - both pedestrian areas - you will find smaller shops with up-to-date street wear, fancy shoes and fashion stores. The smaller alleys are also well worth a peek. Old Town (E-3/4) The old town between Bahnhofstrasse and the river Limmat is another shopping area not to miss. Try the pedestrian street Rennweg for example with its international clothing brands and boutiques or Storchengasse with its international designer stores, a genuine Zurich toys shop as well as cutlery and souvenir shops.
