Guidebook for Zürich
Sightseeing
I would definetely check out Viadukt, which is just a 1 minute away from the apartment. It is an old railway bridge, which was completely renovated and now hosts Zurich's most original shopping passage. Inside you will find a farmers market, restaurants and coffee shops, artisanal shops and cool little pop-up shops that offer original fashion and interior design

Kreis 5 is where Zurich's future and past meet: the coolest district that rebranding itself! Once a grittier district it has seen a major redevelopment and is now the coolest district in Zurich! Now art galleries, cool little shops and restaurants pop up in the district that feels the least Swiss and the most international. Kreis 5 is chic, raw, with a rebellious streak.
