    Zürich: Photo Travel Guide

    Preface

    Zürich is an important economic and cultural centre, and home to 400,000 people. The largest city in Switzerland has an attractive position alongside the north of Lake Zürich, and on both shores of the River Limmat that flows out of the lake in a north-westerly direction.

    This photo guide shows the most important sights of the city, along with some of its festivals. Each picture is accompanied by a short commentary, including how to get to the location.
