About Zurich for Solo Travelers
Switzerland's largest city — a meticulously clean, absurdly wealthy, and genuinely world-class destination for design, finance, and Alpine access. The old town along the Limmat is beautiful; the lake is pristine; the food scene is outstanding (and expensive). Zurich punches far above its size for art, music, and architecture.

Kunsthaus Zurich
Culture
Switzerland's largest art museum — dramatically expanded in 2021 to house 4,000 works including the world's finest Giacometti collection, major Monet and Chagall works, and a substantial contemporary Swiss art program. The new Chipperfield wing is one of the great museum buildings of the 21st century.

Old Town Zurich (Altstadt)
Culture
Zurich's medieval heart — two neighborhoods on either side of the Limmat River: Lindenhügel (left bank) with the Grossmünster twin towers and guild halls, and Niederdorf (right bank) with the Fraumünster's Chagall windows and the city's best independent restaurants and bars. Walkable in an afternoon; endlessly revisited.
