Lonely Planet: Zürich a Top Ten City
Lonely Planet guidebooks has chosen Zürich as one its top ten cities in the world. LP says "Zürich has two faces, old and new. The wide, placid Limmat River runs through it; elegant clock-faces and 800-year-old churches grace one side, while Züri-West, home to some of Europe's hippest nightlife, sprawls out on the other." The article especially recommends the outdoor river-pool, Letten-Badi, where trendsetters gather. More on Zürich.
