Zurich is Switzerland's largest city by area and population. Since Zurich is the central hub of the Swiss railway network and also operates the largest and busiest airport in the country, it is usually the first place tourists come to. Due to the proximity of the city to the tourist resorts in the Swiss Alps, it is called the “portal to the Alps”. Zurich has more than 50 museums, more than 100 galleries, about 60 movie theaters, and most of the old sights are in the old city - along the river and on the waterfront.
To visit Zurich, you need a Schengen visa to Switzerland, according to which you can visit other countries of the Schengen agreement. To obtain a visa, you need a valid passport with two blank pages.

Zurich hotels: traveler reviews
It is quite difficult to find a cheap hotel in Zurich. Cheap (by local standards) rooms can be rented only in not the most pleasant areas. In the center, even the simplest hostel room will cost more than a three-star hotel in another country.
Hotels in the old town always meet all modern requirements: breakfast, free Internet, excellent service, comfortable rooms.
Getting a visa to Switzerland is not difficult, so you should visit this small country to get acquainted with Zurich and its attractions.
