Question 1: What are some of the \u201cthings\u201d or activities that the people of<\/strong> <\/span>Z\u00fcrich<\/em> do for fun<\/strong>?<\/h3>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Summer: people love to swim in the <\/span>River Limmat<\/strong> <\/span>\u2013 in the middle of the city \/ or spending their time at the lake or Z\u00fcrich\u2019s<\/i> own mountain the <\/span>Uetliberg<\/strong>.  For nightlife and shopping: <\/span>Z\u00fcrich West<\/i> <\/span>is very popular also the new area: <\/span>Europaallee <\/span><\/strong>just behind the Z\u00fcrich <\/i>main station. Also urban gardening & outdoor bars are very popular. Everywhere in the city you can find them. In Winter: as Z\u00fcrich <\/i>is very close to big mountains, people like to go skiing and to do other winter sports, ice skating in the city is also popular, eating fondue in one of the many pop-up chalets in the middle of the city or at <\/span>Christmas<\/span>time<\/a>, plus visiting one of our <\/span>Christmas<\/span> <\/span>markets<\/a> (especially the market at Sechel\u00e4utenplatz).<\/p>\n

Question 2: What\u2019s one thing the public probably does NOT know about Z\u00fcrich<\/em>?<\/h3>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Z\u00fcrich<\/i> has a lot to offer and it\u2019s not just a boring banking city. It has new areas like the industrial part (Z\u00fcrich West<\/i>), the Langstrasse, a lovely old town, nature very close and a great selection of restaurants, bars & clubs (nightlife is very huge in Z\u00fcrich<\/i>). You can swim in the middle of the city. And we have fountains with drinking water everywhere in the city.<\/p>\n
