Zurich: Popularly thought to be the capital city of Switzerland, Zurich, apart from being the financial hub of the country is arguably the best city to start off your solo itinerary. The ease of access that comes from its status as a commercial city makes it the ideal point to begin your journey. The heart of the city lies in The Old Town, with its cobbled streets and medieval architecture. No trip is complete without a visit to the Gross Münster or The Great Minster Church which dominates the skyline. To get a taste of Swiss culture, visit the Swiss national museum with its immaculate displays covering Swiss history and the Kunsthaus. The current hotbed of the city is the dynamic Zurich West, a 1.5km long strip boasting of designer bars and cheap restaurants. No trip to the city is complete without a visit to the Lindt factory, the home of chocolate.
Besides its tourist attractions, Zurich acts as an excellent base city from which you can take day trips to famous nearby spots. The Rhine waterfall, the largest waterfall in Europe, is a 50 min train ride away. Lucerne, a quaint old town with stunning mountain and lake views takes 45 mins to reach. With all the above amenities, Zurich promises an unforgettable experience.
