Zurich City Guide

Zurich City GuideBöögg by Daniel Steudler
Zurich is booming, newspapers recently reported. But it's not the economy they were talking about, it's babies. More babies were born in Zurich city last year than in any year since 1968. The roughly 5000 new arrivals p.a. mean that midwives are in short supply and hundreds of millions of francs will have to be invested in nurseries and schools over the next ten years. But costs aside, we think it's a good sign – it means Zurich's citizens believe in their city. Zurich has a future, and not only as a financial centre.
 
But it's not just families planning their futures – now spring is here, new life is blossoming everywhere, and the city's parks and gardens are a delight to the eyes. Other outdoor destinations beckon too, like the local little mountain Uetliberg or our new cycling outing to mediaeval Fahr Abbey. Another of Zurich's spring highlights also hails from the middle ages: Sächsilüüte, the city's most important holiday when the guilds march through town.
 
As always Zurich In Your Pocket lists a whole load of contemporary cultural events, like the pink apple film festival, as well as a choice selection of restaurants and bars. Check out our spotlight on beizen, the down-to-earth, Swiss equivalent to a pub. And if you're visiting Zurich with your own babies, check out our kids page for a few tips. Whatever the future – we hope you enjoy the present in Zurich!
