Sightseeing

It's beautiful & just a 35 Minute train ride away. Just google "Kappelerbrücke" & Lucerne & you know why. I have to warn you, though, it's very touristic & the nightlife in Zurich is better...

Starts at the main station in Zurich. Not my cup of tea but good for shopping. Close to main station there are shops like H&M & the Apple store but further up there are some really exclusive shop. The Bahnhofstrasse is dead after 8pm as there are almost no restaurants or bars. Check out the following streets / places for very nice medieval streets close to Bahnhofstrasse: Paradeplatz, Rennweg, Lindenhof, Strehlgasse, Glockengasse, Schipfe & Wühre... then head over the Rathausbrücke (Brücke = Bridge) to the Niederdof.

Food Scene

Great buffet even though I usually don't like buffets too much. They do a great job! It's vegetarian only but I bet you won't miss meat there... Pay by weight. The only problem: You might want to get a huge portion as the food is amazing...

Such a shame it's so expensive! It's a huge climbing gym for sport climbing. There's also a bouldering area but for bouldering only there are cheaper places... For indoor sport climbing this is the place to go in Zurich. There's even a small section outside...

On of the best views in Zurich. It's close to the Bahnhofstrasse in an observatory. The entrance is kind of hard to find: You have to take the elevator in the "Brasserie Lipp"

Porn art bar. Definitively not for everyone.Deco consists of photos & comics of the 60's. Probably the cheapest (but best value) wine you can find in a bar. A take away bottle is only CHF 8.- while a Glass of wine starts at CHF 3.-. Due to that fact it can happen that your neighbour is an alcoholic & a bit annoying but overall it's a really fun place which doesn't feel creepy even if it sounds like...

Arts & Culture

I recommend to go to the police! You'll have to leave your ID to enter & see probably one of the nicest halls of a police headquarter which is accessible for the public. Open everyday 9am to 11am and 2pm to 4pm. Don't forget your ID! The entrance is free & the police usually not corrupt ;-) It's not a tour so you just go in yourself & have a look.
