Zurich, Switzerland

We visited Zurich on our 3 week Europe road trip and spend there a couple of days. It was clean, organized and very expensive. 

Few facts about Zurich:

Zurich is the largest city in Switzerland with the population of 380,000. 

Zurich has been acclaimed as the city with the highest standard of living in the world. 

Because of the city's close distance to tourist resorts in the Swiss Alps and its mountainous scenery, it is often referred to as the "portal to the Alps".
