Travel light, and best
time to travel is during September and April, take a light
sweater or jacket and long trousers for late nights or mountain
trips.
The natural beauty of Zurich will take your breath away,
as will the icy cold if you decide to visit in winter for
the world renowned skiing. Visit in summer and you can enjoy
siting at one of the cafes in the cobbled streets and people
watch. Wander the waterfront, view Swiss architecture and
visit galleries and museums.
