These are the 7 activities to be missed in Zurich

I visited Switzerland many times and have always been happy to visit. But finally, for the first time, I visited as a tourist. Specifically, I visited Zurich, and this magnificent city opened its welcoming arms and revealed its many treasures and ample beauty. Zurich is the cultural and financial capital of Switzerland and is its largest city. It has long been chosen as the best city in the world in terms of the richness and quality of life. It overlooks Lake Zurich and the Limat River, which is in the middle of the old and modern city. Vibrant, it combines ancient history with modern architecture. Its shops are abundant in it for every taste what it desires. Zurich’s only disadvantage is that if you visit it once, you must preserve it with the best memories and longing for them.

Zurich: Souha Hamed
1 In the first of this conversation, Madam, I offer you advice that you will always remind me of: When you are in Zurich, I mean the best restaurant in it and perhaps Switzerland, and try dishes from the creativity of the chef “Haikko Neder” who won several international awards, the most recent of which is the title “Chef of the year 2020” from “Gott Millau” ” The Restaurant, proud of the luxurious Dolder Grand hotel, decorated with two Michelin stars. Try a list of six or ten dishes, each chef combines great flavors in a symphony that cares for taste and eye.

2 Enjoy beautiful panoramic views of Zurich from two locations on the banks of the River Limmat. The first of these was the Lindenhof, which was the site of a palace for the German Empire in the Middle Ages. The palace was demolished in the 13th century and has been open to the public since then. The second is the Polyterrasse ETH of the University of Science and Technology and the University of Zurich, which is on the front bank and overlooks the river, lake and tall, distant mountains. It can be reached by “Polybahn” train, on a three-minute journey, which departs from Central Station. Riding “polipan” is an enjoyable experience in itself, which made it a destination for tourists transporting about two million people in one year. From Central Station, take a stroll through the old narrow streets to explore the old city’s buildings and its impressive architecture.
