When the weather’s cold
The most easily accessible and comparably large ski areas are Hoch Ybrig and Flumserberg … so what are you waiting for? Equipment can be hired out on-site. If you’d prefer the hustle and bustle of the city, the Kunsthaus art gallery is well worth a visit (and there’s brunch on Sundays!).
— Kunsthaus. Art and culture in world-class format. District 1, Heimplatz 1
Beyond the city limits…
Head over to Glarnerland! Not especially cool, but very relaxing. Take the Glarner Sprinter train from Zurich central station straight up into the pre-Alps. Or what about a trip to the car-free Braunwald forest, far away from the hectic big city?
Nicht verpassen!
You don’t have to scale mountains to get a great view over Zurich. Take the Polybähnli funicular train from the station “central” and be up on the ETH terrace in just a few minutes. I otherwise don’t hunt down the tourist attractions though. What I enjoy most is sitting in a pretty little square and letting the city rush past me – for example the Rathaus Café terrace on the Limmat quay on a Saturday afternoon.
— Rathaus Café. In the heart of the city, right on the Limmat. District 1, Limmatquai 61
Shoppen bis zum Umfallen
There are a handful of shops where I always find something I like. I just go down Josefstrasse and give the credit card a walloping.
— Street-Files Studio. Cool labels, fair prices. District 4, Badenerstrasse 156
— Lili Tulipan. Quirky, colourful, and a little kitsch. District 5, Josefstrasse 18
— Einzigart. Thoughtful design finds. District 5, Josefstrasse 36
