Flying from Sydney to Zurich: tips and information for your trip
After flying from Sydney to Zurich (SYD-ZRH) on one of our comfortable and reliable flights, you may be wondering if you just landed in one of those old fairytale towns.
The Altstadt, the medieval old part of town, looks just like the background for one of Grimm’s stories. To the left and right of the little river Limmat and along Lake Zurich, you can get lost in the little alleys between old houses from the 14th and 15th centuries. The roman style Cathedral is on the right side of the river, as is the renaissance style Rathaus, the town hall. On the left side of the river you find the Frauenmünsterkirche, which has glass windows made by famous artist Marc Chagall. From the Lindenhof you have a great view of the city. The Altstadt is encircled by a part of town that was built in the 18th and 19th century. Here are not only most of the banks that made Zurich one of the major financial centres of the world, but you'll also find something exceptionally sweet here: the world famous chocolate maker Sprüngli's headquarters. The Swiss National Museum is another highlight of the area, situated behind the train station.
If you want a great view over the city, take a ride with the hundred-year-old Polybahn. It starts on the Central, a square opposite the train station and brings you up to the Polyterrasse in two minutes, where the University of Zurich is located. As the Alps are a defining feature of Zurich, you will find all the possibilities that are associated with mountains. Hiking, climbing, mountain biking and of course skiing is a major fun factor for the Zurich visitor. On Lake Zurich sailing is very popular, but there are also lots of other kinds of boats to admire. For a day trip in the area, go and see the Rheinfall in Schaffhausen, near the German border. Here the river Rhine roars down a majestic waterfall. The Höllgrotten (Hell’s Cave) are also worth a trip or the medieval Palace of Rapperswil. But Zurich also has an active nightlife, so if you feel like a good night out, you will find your ideal party in one of the 500 bars and clubs of Zurich.
Whatever your idea of a great time in Switzerland is, Zurich will certainly fulfill it. So book your flight from Sydney to Zurich online right now and enjoy Switzerland.
