The Hardbrücke is a long, brutal concrete bridge that runs through a former industrial area. I like the view down to the rail tracks and the many construction sites. And, within spitting distance, you can find a few good places to spend a nice evening, such as Helsinki (for concerts), Rosso (for pizza), and Les Halles (for beer and tapas).

Spend a leisurely morning brunching at Restaurant Viadukt... aaaaah. We sampled some pretty awesome pancakes here while chain-drinking delicious espressos.

Zurich is at its best in the summer, when swimming becomes part of the daily agenda. There are a variety of great places along the river Limmat, most of which are free and open to the public. When it gets too crowded at these, try to find one of the few hidden places along the lake.

An oasis in the middle of Zurich. To relax, eat, work or a cosy meal for two – a visit to «Lotti» is a must in Zurich. Don't miss it.
