With a hopping nightlife, filled with endless bars and restaurants, this cosmopolitan city is bustling with activity. It’s set on a beautiful lake and near the mountains so you can also do a lot of nature-based activities when you visit Zurich. I love the historic center that opens up on the lake, sitting in the parks, and drinking a beer on the lakefront. The city is also very arty and full of street art and exhibitions.
