The Langstrasse is probably one of the most famous streets in Zurich. It's dirty, rough and full of life. A lot of nice bars, clubs and galleries are located around this street. Some may call it the heart of Zurich. If you're there, have a look at the bar Longstreet, the Perla Moda, the Zukunft and the Dante.

Zürich has embraced ‘shipping container chic’ with the utterly charming urban garden Frau Gerolds Garten. We stopped by for drinks in the early evening, and sipped as the sun went down. Lovely stuff. Positioned beside the railway, I got over-excited about the bundles of overhead wires, which ultimately inspired my Tiny Guide Zurich print. Mixed in with fairy lights, street art, cushions, greenery and a bath of plants (of course) this is a great place to hang out for relaxed food and drinks, and full of opportunities to test out your camera. 

Motto stands for independent, rare and beautiful books. Specialised in art, design and photography, Motto offers a wide selection of books, magazines and artists' publication. Beside the book shop, also the so called Corner Collage has its home in this room. Corner College is a platform for lectures, workshops, exhibitons and other kind of academic stuff with a lot of experimental energy.

Outdoor garden with food stands and local stores.

I like this place to cool off during hot summer days. Have a short walk upriver and let yourself float down by the green and fresh water, sourcing from Lake of Zurich. If you have the guts, throw yourself down the crossing bridge.
