I am going to write about Zurich in Switzerland because I went there last year.
To start, Zurich is a real expensive city but it depends on what you want to do there. I needed bus tickets and train tickets and they are very expensive. So before going there you have to think about all the things you will need for your stay in Zurich. I had the great opportunity to stay with friends of mine because otherwise I would have had to spend a great amount of money on a hotel, although I am sure that you can also find cheap youth hostels.


Apart from the fact that Zurich is an expensive city it is also very beautiful. The streets are bustling, esoecially in the "Bahnhofstraße". There, you have many restaurants you can go to and many other entertainment facilities for example the cinema or shopping centres. Unfortunately all this will cost you much money.
I stayed for 4 days in Zurich and my friends gave me two guided tours through the city. On the first day they showed me the newer part of Zurich, for example the  Lindenplatz, which is really amazing. Sitting in Bellevue near the lake, swans beneath your feet and the sun shining in your face, is an indescribable feeling. Sadly, I can not remember all the places they showed me, but just walking through Zurich was really special.

On the next day they showed me the old town of Zurich which was completely beautiful. For example the Grossmünster, which is a church from where you have a nice view over Zurich. In addition to that I ate the best and also the first frozen yoghurt of all time in the old town of Zurich, so it is totally worth to take a look at it. What is also good to eat is the Vapiano - a restaurant to specialize on pasta. Later on, we even drove to the Uetliberg where you can go hiking. On top of the Uetliberg you have an astonishing view but standing on top of this grey Tower, you can see in the picture, really took my breath away.

To sum up: All I can say is that visiting Zurich is really worth it, although I am not sure if I would have done it if I would not have had my friends to stay with them and showing me around. You have to keep in mind that this trip will not be a cheap one but you will not regret it because you will see many great, astonishing and breath-taking thinks. Feel free to ask me for further information :)
