Zurich is a city of opportunities. Among other Swiss cities, it looks the most attractive for tourism, because here you can find a unique combination of ancient European architectural monuments and ultra-modern quarters, offering all imaginable and unthinkable entertainment. So the streets of Zurich are never empty.
Zurich is one of those cities that is much more enjoyable to explore on your own than to do it in groups organized by a tour operator. Therefore, it is better to come here just like that, find a good guide and enjoy the trip. However, you can also do this completely independently.
Bahnhofstrasse
Of course, Bahnhofstrasse will be the first number on the list. This street is one of the most expensive in the world. All elite shopping and entertainment centers are concentrated here, and the abundance of all kinds of wonders makes you forget about everything in the world. In general, a must visit.
Handwerks Gasse
Famous Craft Lane. This part of Zurich is one of the oldest, all buildings here were erected hundreds of years ago. There are practically no new buildings here, the first floors are occupied by small cozy shops-workshops. They are notable for the fact that they not only sell ready-made souvenirs, but also make them exclusively to order.
Emil-Kleti-strasse
This street begins at the station and gradually climbs the mountain. Therefore, having walked to its end, the tourist will find that behind him opens a stunning view of the lake, the city itself and the surrounding Alps. For those wishing to take interesting photos, a visit to this place is simply a must.
City embankment
The Zurich embankment itself is not particularly remarkable, but walking along it, you can get to the famous "beer park", where ordinary residents of Zurich enjoy life every day. Traditional food, cozy gazebos and terraces of small restaurants, light live music - there is simply no better place to get rid of stress.
Langstrasse
Langstrasse is not the place to go for beautiful sights and colorful backdrops for a souvenir photo. After all, Langstrasse is known throughout Europe as the "red light district" - a real Mecca for strawberry lovers. True, this area is quite criminal, so here you need to keep your eyes open and not succumb to the admonitions of strangers offering "special pleasures".
