Renting a serviced apartment or holiday letting in Switzerland’s largest city and financial centre opens the door to a vast plethora of new experiences, from the ancient architecture of Old Town, the intriguing and thought provoking, historical museums and the delectable local cuisine that will have you coming back for more.

What better way to get to know the history of this city than a tour around Old Town. This part of the city straddles the Limmat River and houses Lindenhof, the historical city centre, at it’s heart. Take a stroll down the cobbled streets and through narrow passageways, view ancient churches, exquisite fountains and beautiful old houses. Here you will find the impressive structure of Grossmunster, Great Minster, built in the 800s and St. Peter’s Church which boasts the largest clock in the world. Enjoy an expensive shopping spree in Bahnhofstrasse, which houses some world class shops, or, if you are on a budget enjoy a spot of window shopping instead. Old Town is also home to some delightful restaurants so why not treat yourself to a delicious lunch, Al Fresco by the river.

Your serviced residence or aparthotel in Zurich is also just a short distance from Zurich Zoological Centre. Situated on a hill in Zurichberg and covering a vast area of 10 hectares this zoo is home to around 2,100 animals and over 300 different species. Here you can view rare breeds such as the beautiful snow leopards, Arabian oryx and pygmy hogs as well as the carnivore and predator enclosures, an ape house, an elephant and a terrarium to name but a few. You may also like to take a walk through the Masoala rainforest exhibit where you can admire the abundance of flora and fauna that reside in these humid temperatures. A thoroughly enjoyable day.

For an insight into the country’s historical and cultural background pay a visit to the Swiss National Museum where you can view some wonderful pieces of beautifully painted furniture, costumes and numerous other artefacts and items of historical interest.

The Botanical Garden offers a few hours of tranquillity away from the bustling city and is home to some 15,000 species of trees, shrubs and plants including several rare African species. A perfect way to spend a relaxing afternoon.
