SWITZERLAND Art Museum Winterthur Destination Zurich Nestling amidst hills and lakes, the Zurich region offers a unique combination of lifestyle, indulgence, beautiful natural surroundings, and the arts. Museums and festivals Zurich is the home of the Swiss National Museum, which focuses on Switzerland’s long history, and the topnotch local universities have their own popular museums. The art scene in Zurich is also well developed and includes the Löwenbräu Complex and the Kunsthaus (Museum of Fine Arts), where the largest collection of fine art in Switzerland is held. Zürifäscht, a triennial public festival featuring music, fireworks, and other attractions, is the largest public festival in Switzerland and will be held this year July 2-4. Zurich’s Street Parade each August is a summer highlight and has become one of Switzerland’s premier carnivals. Other festivals include Sechseläuten, the spring festival of the guilds and burning of the Böögg; Zürcher Theatre Spektakel, an international theatre festival; and Kunst Zürich, an international contemporary art fair. Zurich offers a tempting collection of fashionable boutiques and art galleries, and with its multicultural population, the city also has fine restaurants featuring cuisines from all over the world. For music and theatre lovers, the Zurich Opera House (Zürcher Opernhaus) is one of the principal opera houses in Europe, and the Schauspielhaus Zürich is the city’s main theatre complex. Thanks to its exceptional infrastructure, the city of Zurich makes an excellent base for touring nearby attractions as well as Switzerland’s other cities; Berne, Basel and Lucerne are all easily reached by train or car from Zurich. Popular day trips Popular destinations for day trips include touring local vineyards and visiting picturesque towns like Uetliberg and Winterthur. Uetliberg is only 20 minutes from Zurich’s city centre by train (line S10), which runs twice every hour. One of Uetliberg’s attractions is the Planetary Path (Planetenweg), a series of free outdoor exhibits on the solar system. The path runs along a mountain ridge and offers spectacular views across Lake Zurich. Winterthur, less than 30 minutes by car northeast of Zurich’s city centre, is famous for both its financial services and its art galleries. Many tourists come here from Zurich to view the collection of paintings at the Sammlung Oskar Reinhart am Römerholz on the Haldenstrasse, which includes works by Monet, Rembrandt, Renoir, Rubens and Van Gogh. Historic landmarks in this picturesque small city include St. Laurenz Church, built in the middle of the 13th century. The River Eulach flows through the heart of Winterthur. The colourful city of Baden is also nearby; it offers Fitnesspark Hamam Baden, where visitors can pamper themselves with Oriental spa treatments. All around Lake Zurich (Zürichsee) visitors will find charming villages, restaurants, hiking trails and water sports facilities. 74
