Uetliberg im Herbst mit Nebel unten und Sonne oben, traumhaft.
Bahnhofstrasse ist nur was für Leute mit dickem Portemonnaie 😅
Uetliberg bei Sonnenuntergang mit Blick auf den See und die Alpen, traumhaft.
Landesmuseum ist super für Schweizer Geschichte.
Die Chagall-Fenster im Fraumünster sind wunderschön.
Lindt Home of Chocolate, der weltgrösste Schokoladenbrunnen.
Niederdorf am Abend, schöne Bars.
Im Sommer im Zürichsee baden, in der Badi Utoquai oder im Frauenbad.
Zürich ist teuer, aber man bekommt Qualität.
Kunsthaus mit dem neuen Chipperfield-Bau, sehr empfehlenswert.
