The largest city of Switzerland, Zurich also stands to be the capital of the country. Zurich is a place that not everyone expects it to be. It is ultra-modern, cosmopolitan, and is also known as the global finance centre. Zurich still carries the quintessential naturally beautiful essence that other cities and towns of the country hold. It is culturally vibrant, efficiently run and attractively set at the meeting of river and lake. It is clearly recognized as one of the world's most loved cities. Visit Grossmunster, the 12th Century Cathedral, Fraumunster Church, Uetliberg Mountain city and much more. Summer (Jun–Aug) is warm. Winter (Dec–Feb) is cold. May–Nov is the peak travel time.
