The city of Zurich, Switzerland, a global hub for banking and finance, is located at the northern tip of Lake Zurich in northern Switzerland. The city is known not only for its economic significance but also for its rich cultural and historical heritage. At its heart lies the Altstadt (Old Town), with its winding, picturesque lanes spread across both sides of the Limmat River, reflecting Zurich’s pre-medieval origins. Prominent among its attractions is the Limmatquai, a scenic waterfront promenade that runs alongside the river, leading toward notable landmarks such as the 17th-century Rathaus (Town Hall). Zurich seamlessly blends the charm of its historical past with the vibrancy of a modern, cosmopolitan city.
