Zurich travel tips
Zurich: a city with something to suit everyone
Zurich has something to offer every kind of traveller. Culture lovers can enjoy the masterpieces of the Swiss National Museum, for example, whilst lovers of natural beauty just need to head down to Lake Zurich to experience one of the most beautiful sights of their life. Intrepid adventurers can also climb the Üetliberg mountain.
Why not time your visit to coincide with one of Zurich's festivals?
Zurich is great all year round (though if you are planning any mountaineering, it is essential to check the conditions before you begin your hike). The best months to visit are June, July and August, as summers here can be nice and hot, whilst winters can be cold and foggy.
Zurich events
There are plenty of festivals in this city to keep you occupied at any time of year, though. In April, for example, you can experience the 'Sechseläuten' festival, which is a traditional celebration dating back to medieval times. By contrast, every August Zurich plays host to a techno music festival.
