Art and history in Zurich
Known as a city where banks from around the world sit side-by-side, there is plenty to see in Zurich that is not money-related. There's a traditional old town which is a treat to stroll around, a magnificent art gallery and choice of museums to view.

Lake Zurich is also within walking distance of the centre of town and is lovely to see at any time of the year.
When is the best time to travel to Zurich?
The summer months can be hot, and in winter the temperature hovers around freezing and it is often foggy. Spring and autumn are usually mild. To experience a festival, visit Zurich in August when there is a street parade for the Techno Festival, or try the Sechseläuten Festival held in April when the locals burn winter by setting fire to an effigy named "Böögg".
