Zurich Travel Guide

Zürich is world-famous as a city of global finance. Because of the many verdant trees on the banks of Lake Zürich and the Limmat River, it is also known as the “Garden City”. Even though Zürich is the largest city in Switzerland, it still exudes a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Grossmünster (the Zürich Cathedral), Fraumünster (the Church of Our Lady), the Swiss National Museum, and the fine arts museum, the Kunsthaus Zürich speak to this city's enchanting humanistic culture. Bahnhofstrasse is the city’s main downtown shopping street and represents avant-garde fashion, with many shopping centers and high-end boutiques lined up on either side of the street. Heading south along Bahnhofstrasse, you will come to the wide Lake Zürich. During daylight hours, white swans and ducks can be seen floating on the lake. Wild and free, it is a harmonious scene to behold.

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. Being just a short 10-minute ride away from both the airport and the city center, it made my travel plans remarkably convenient. This proximity saved me valuable time and allowed me to explore the city easily, whether I wanted to catch a flight or explore the cultural attractions downtown. Despite its unassuming exterior, the hotel’s interior was a pleasant surprise. The moment I stepped into the lobby, I could feel the welcoming ambiance. The check-in process was efficient, and the staff were attentive and friendly. Entering my room, I was delighted to find that it had all the essential features needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, providing a much-needed rest after a long day of travel and exploration. The air conditioning was not only functional but also impressively strong, effectively beating the summer heat and allowing me to relax in a cool and comfortable environment. What truly impressed me was the hotel’s no-frills concept. While some luxury hotels tend to pile on unnecessary amenities, Courtyard by Marriott Zurich North focused on providing the basics that travelers truly need. This not only made the stay more streamlined but also contributed to competitive pricing, which is always appreciated. I made use of the comprehensive gym facilities during my stay. The gym was well-equipped with modern exercise equipment, making it easy for me to stick to my fitness routine. This was a valuable addition to my stay, allowing me to stay active even while traveling. Overall, my one-night stay at the Courtyard by Marriott Zurich North was a seamless and enjoyable experience. From the convenience of its location to the comfort of the room, everything was thoughtfully designed to cater to the needs of a traveler. This stay also contributed to maintaining my Marriott status, which added an extra layer of satisfaction. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to fellow travelers looking for a comfortable, convenient, and competitively priced stay in Zurich.
