cultural ambience unique to zurich

And if a dose of culture is essential for your full enjoyment of a Zurich weekend break, visits to the Kunsthaus Zurich (Zurich art gallery) and Migros Museum are a must; the former for an excellent collection of the finest 19th and 20th century artists including Monet, Picasso, Rothko and the Dadaists and Expressionists, and the latter for its display of more contemporary works.

The Old Town is an undoubted focus of a Zurich short break, with its 16th and 17th century houses, and several hundred years older St Peter’s Church, with its famous clock. Lovers of the other main attraction for many visitors to Switzerland – its chocolate – will find their heaven at the Lindt and Sprüngli chocolate factory.

Of course, with all that water around, it makes perfect sense to take to it at least once on your Zurich short break, so a cruise on Lake Zurich itself or the River Limmat should not be missed.
