Travel Blogs from Zurich, Switzerland
We are headed home
This is a top pick! ... sitting in the row ahead of us by himself. We were able to change the seating arrangements on the short flight from Athens to Zurich.They ended up putting all 4 of us across the back row of the plane but that meant that Heather and Christina were all off ...
Zurich by day, Lugano by night...
This is a top pick! ... brief relaxation and catch up at their apartment we are heading down to the local bar to catch the Euro games, which featured a Switzerland home game making for yet another lively crowd. Somehow, we wind up playing kings at the bar and end the ...
Authentic Swiss Country Girl
This is a top pick! ... still swollen and bruised but I thankful I was wearing my jeans! We flew out of Istanbul in the late afternoon and arrived in Zurich around 7:30pm. My friend Leigh from high school was waiting for us. It sure was nice to see him again! The kids really ...
Down in memory lane 2 in Zurich, Switzerland
This is a top pick! More photos! here are friends we met in Zimbabwe, 23 years ago... Mary and Kevin were teaching in the same school as us and Rene was the doctor who helped me deliver Tristan... more memories, more good food, more laughs...I think we are gaining even more ...
To Zurich Once More
This is a top pick! We left Nonnenhorn around 4 pm and arrived in Zurich 2 hours later. We were at first disheartened to see that Tom and Louise had not come to meet us like they said and we tried to figure out where excacty they lived, but to our joy Tom rode up on his bike ...
Zurich - Day 126
This is a top pick! ... by the river so the residents can bath, and there are steps into the river at various points. Beginning to like Switzerland. My friends sister's boyfriend's birthday party this evening (sorry about the mouth full). So went to their house for some ...
Zurich - Day 129
This is a top pick! Nothing interesting to tell today, posted 8kg of stuff home, mostly purchases from Vietnam and some other odds and ends which I no longer needed to haul around with me. Went out for dinner in the evening to an Asian restaurant. Getting my body ...
Eb's in Zürich!
This is a top pick! ... awesome elevator music consisting of a mixture of mooing cows and the sound of large bells. Liam summed it up brilliantly. Switzerland has a fever...and the only prescription...is more cowbell ;) I'd taken the liberty of bringing some food with me on ...
Going to Visit Louise and Tom!!!
This is a top pick! ... its winter because its such a heavy meal and not suitable for warm weather. Because Tom wasn't there though (he's originally from Switzerland) and we were just with Louise, who's actually from Malta, we figured we could bend the rules. So we went to ...
Bern & Luzern
This is a top pick! ... to satisfy her. We had just enough time to see the fireworks show and have an icecream before heading back to the station to get the last train back to Zurich at 12am. We collapsed into bed because we had to get up at 7am to go hiking up a ...
Hiking in the Swiss Alps!!
This is a top pick! ... a lake and the Alps so it was very nice scenery for the evening. We were fed tons of food and drinks before heading back to Zurich, an awesome way to close out a day of hiking. We left around 9:30 because there would be too much traffic due to the nice ...
Zürich bei Nacht
This is a top pick! ... entry will be a little shorter than usual. This was my first visit to Zürich and what looks to be a very lovely Switzerland in general. Unfortunately it was on business, and since our Swiss hosts seemed to work the ungodly hours of 8am to 6pm ...
Layover in Zurich
This is a top pick! ... good care of us. They even gave us a full box of chocolates to take along with a bag full of croissants to take and enjoy on the rest of our trip. They made a long flight fun. Right now we are waiting in Zurich to board our flight to ...
Hong Kong, Amsterdam & Zurich - Day 122
This is a top pick! 4 countries, 3 flights, 7000 miles and 36 hours later I finally arrived in Zurich from a distant Hanoi. It's been a crazy day and a half of travel. First caught a flight from Hanoi to Hong Kong then I had a 12 hour wait over night in the airport before a ...
Ancient Machines..
This is a top pick! ... from Zurich to Innsbruck would be about 4 hours. As we wanted to use up all our Swiss francs before we left Switzerland, we headed back to Sprungli and tried to spend our last 13.35sfr on truffles. We ended up with 8 truffles and 95 ...
Zurich
This is a top pick! I really don't know if I made the right decision to leave Italy and come to Switzerland, for I absolutely fell for Italy (training through it just goes to show what a wasted opportunity) and I can't stand the toffee nosed atmosphere of Zurich (a lot of ...
Zurich, Switzerland
This is a top pick! ... some good Samaritan will find my stock of written addressed postcards and pay to put them in the mail. But there's a greater chance of Switzerland entering the Iraq war. From the Swiss town of Sargans, I took a bus to the Liechtenstein capital of Vaduz. ...
Combining Business and Pleasure
This is a top pick! ... during our personal time as well. Thus, Chris also came out on Thursday afternoon and we spent the weekend in Switzerland. In fact, this trip was such a great combination of business and pleasure that Chris even did some business there as ...
If it's Tuesday, it must be Zürich!
This is a top pick! ... to the pretty village of Appenzell would definitely be in order. Set in the verdant pastures of north-eastern Switzerland near the border with Austria, the wooden farmhouses with colourfully overflowing window boxes provoked an almost continuous chorus ...
Zurich - Day 123-124
This is a top pick! ... a walk around the beautiful city of Zurich in the morning sun. The Euro 2008 football championships are on at the moment in Switzerland and Austria so the city is buzzing with market stalls, exhibitions and the FanZone where you can watch the matches on a ...
Switzerland is the gnome
This is a top pick! ... them for hours some days. Anyway, I think this gnome is a sneaky lil' bugger that syphons money from your wallet...Switzerland is freakin' expensive! Like 2-3 times more expensive than the other places I've been in Europe. It's still possible to find ...
Dawn Breaks Over Zurich
This is a top pick! The brown stripe on the horizon has thickened to pink. My doG, I'm laying my own eyes on Homer's rosy-fingered ...
Emmie went to Zurich (I do mean overseas)
This is a top pick! Does anyone else remember an annoying add jingle for Zurich the Insurance company? Well I do, and as I write this the jingle is running through my head again..(yes Polly went to Zurich, I don't mean overseas, Yes Polly went to Zurich - Insurance ...
Looking forward to getting to Berlin
This is a top pick! ... On top of that, Zurich does not offer much at all for the tourist. You kind of need to get out of Zurich to enjoy the real Switzerland, which unfortunately, my budget does not afford. I can think of many more pristine and beautiful locations around the ...
Liam in Zurich
This is a top pick! Heyas, Well, this is my first entry. Am finally in Switzerland, and it's very pretty and treelined in this part of Zurich. The flight was pretty uneventful. Couldn't sleep much, so watched several dodgy flicks and played a bit of Tetris. ...
Chapter 56: In der Schweiz
This is a top pick! ... in a parallel universe where the language sounded vaguely familiar, but garbled through distortion filters. Weird. Everything in Switzerland is shockingly expensive. Especially the restaurants, where a main course generally runs 25 Swiss francs (US$20). ...
Coming out of a low.
This is a top pick! Jule, you will be happy to know that I have your pebbles from Switzerland... will try to post when I get to a cheaper country. I've been on a real low over the last 2 days, as my travelpod entries will probably show. But I think I'm coming out of it ...
gotta do some banking
This is a top pick! ... in that room. I guess I look suspicious. A few days later I read in Time magazine that a similar watch display in Bern, Switzerland was robbed and thieves stole over $100,000 worth of watches. I guess I can understand the armed guard at the clock ...
First Taste of Foriegn Culture
This is a top pick! ... so far it is pretty exciting. the best thing so far was the feeling right before i got off the plane. we had landed in Zurich and i thought to myself "Hum. What should I do today?" And the answer is anything I want. Including getting lost with my cereal ...
