As it turns out I have a day to relax in Zurich.
I will be flying from the States on a Wednesday and arriving early Thursday morning.
My train leaves the next morning.
I know, just one day…Anyhow, I want to make the best of it in a relaxing manner.
I like exploring new cities, like museums (art) , and would like a casual place to grab a bite and a drink.
I will stay overnight in a hotel by the train station, so I will be in the city center.
Would appreciate, opinions, recommendations…
Well, I was there just a few months ago. I stayed with friends for a few days and I tend to not go all out on the tourist thing when I am traveling.
I recommend the Künsthalle (or was it the Künsthaus? I’m pretty sure it’s the ‘halle’) which has good Modern art.
I didn’t eat out much, but I liked the vegetarian restaurant Hiltl. http://www.hiltl.ch/restaurant.php
Whatever else you do, I’d recommend walking along the Limmat, it’s the most beautiful city river I’ve seen; much cleaner than the Thames, the Tiber, or the Seine. Maybe take a boat on the Limmatsee. Maybe walk up the Uetliberg.
It’s a beautiful city.
Though extremely bare inside, the Grossmünster is worth a look.
