ZÜRICH, SWITZERLAND
Zürich is the largest city in Switzerland, at the north end of Lake Zürich in the northern part pf the country. Zurich has been voted to have the "Best Quality of Life in the World", has been in the Top 10 "Most Livable Cities", and known to be the "Wealthiest Country in Europe". It is just over 87 square kilometers (almost 34 square miles) in size, and home to over 380.000 people! The view of the Alps will simply take your breath away. My two favorites buildings around this city was the beautiful architecture of Fraumünster and Grossmünster. Take a walk around the city; It's truly a lovely place. It's a quick ride from the airport, or you can take the railway, which both in Zürich are the busiest in all of Switzerland. I loved the charm and sense of serenity this city had to offer!
