The train ride from Milan to Zurich was picturesque to say the least – Lake Como, Lake Lugano and the snow swept Alps. Simply striking.
Switzerland may be the most beautiful country in the world according to this author.
Zurich, in northern Switzerland, is the third most expensive city in the world (CNBC) and all lit up for the Christmas season.
Brrr… it’s cold and it’s only the beginning of December. Lured by the Christmas lights on the famous Bahnhofstrasse (one of the world’s most exclusive shopping areas) we bundled up and headed to Central Altstadt (Old Town) on the Limmat River to find the Christmas market. Charmed by the historic buildings, the silvery river and lit up bridges we walked until our toes froze like little marbles.

How wonderful to see some cities in their Christmas bloom
So beautiful! I’ve been there 2 weeks ago and also really enjoyed the festive lights. What did you like most about Zurich? Visit my latest post to see what I discovered there 🙂 https://lovely365.wordpress.com/
I loved the magical Christmas mood and the stunning architecture in the historic district. Looks like you had a wonderful time there too.
Indeed – definitely will come back in summer as I think this must be beautiful as well with a totally different atmosphere then 🙂
I agree summer and even the fall when the leaves begin to change.
