Switzerland is an absolute dreamland!🏔 From the breathtaking Alpine landscapes to the charming cities🌃, this country has it all.

I’ve always dreamt of going to Switzerland and I finally did it! Mustered up enough courage and travel funds to book a long-haul 13 hours direct flight to Zurich with Singapore Airlines, and the only regret I takeaway from this is… THIS TRIP WAS WAY TOO SHORT, and also I learnt that I would very much prefer a layover for long-haul flights. 📝 I chose to stay in Hotel St. Gotthard throughout my time in Switzerland and took day trips out to other places because there’s lots of shopping near the hotel, fast food, restaurants, supermarket… everything is just a few steps away! Most importantly, the hotel is located just a mere 5mins walk away to Zurich HB (train station) which is extremely convenient since my itinerary consist of taking lots of day trips out! I was early for check-in so I dropped my luggage off at reception and started my day 1 in Switzerland! 📍Hotel: Hotel St. Gotthard Bahnhofstrasse 87, 8001 Zürich, Switzerland S$1800 for 7 nights There were lots of luxury fashion and jewellery brands around to do some window shopping, nice quaint little cafes but they were closed for mid afternoon break. Day walking around and finally saw an open cafe, which was crowded but didn’t have much of a choice! Had some pastries and coffee to recharge after the long flight, which cost about 20CHF. 💸 📍Cafe: Boréal Coffee Shop Talacker (ZU) Talacker 41, 8001 Zürich, Switzerland Taking day 1 light and easy to familiarise myself around the hotel! #switzerland #zurich #timetotravel #citywalk #hotelreview

Grossmuster church is a place one can visit when at Zurich, specifically when planning the day to include Lake Zurich as it is within close proximity. It is one with free entry, where one can visit and really admire the interior especially stained glass inside the church. of note, one interesting thing is that it also sells souvenirs like postcards. Located at Zwinglipl. 7, 8001 Zürich, Switzerland

This summer, if you have a trip planned for Zurich, do visit this church. A simple chuch with stained glass, it may seem but it is a gem inside. At the basement, you can see the underground structure which was interesting as it had routes, a place usually others charge for admission. At the upper levels, one can even see exhibits and a clear view of buildings around lake zurich.

My experience at the Courtyard by Marriott Zurich North was truly exceptional in several aspects. Firstly, the hotel’s location near the Zurich Oerlikon train station was a major highlight.
