The exotic environment of the Zurich Zoo, one of the best in Europe, is home to more than 360 different animal species. The closest to their natural habitats that animals can be found include:

• Snow leopards in the rocky Himalayas.
• Penguins swimming in frigid waters.
• Flying foxes can be seen from a canopy walk in the 13,000 square metres of the tropical jungle.

The Asian elephant family in the Kaeng Krachan Elephant Park play with their youngster and swim in their multi-environment outdoor complex, which was created to resemble their real-life habitat in Thailand. Trades and trams from the Paradeplatz and the central train station go to the zoo.

Ecosystems have been built in places like the Himalayas, South American grasslands, the Masoala Rainforest Hall, and the Kaeng Krachan Elephant Park to allow animals, especially endangered species, to roam freely over large regions. A petting zoo also will enable guests to get up close and personal with wild and tamed animals.

The Zurich Zoo’s wild animals represent nature’s variety, magnificence, and fragility. We provide a variety of unique settings for cocktail parties, flying dinners, and banquets as the ideal complement to your guided tour. Cocktails can be served at the Elephant House, Capuchin Monkey House, or the Lion House, next to the penguin enclosure. The site also has seminar rooms that may be rented.…

The world’s most popular sport is soccer, which is played in every nation. The FIFA Museum covers the history of the World Cup and FIFA, the sport’s global governing organisation. The immersive experience starts with enormous video screens displaying football being played in several nations.

The 13-meter-long Time Line exhibit allows visitors to see how the sport developed as more nations joined. More than 3,000 square metres of exhibition space are spread across the museum’s three floors. Every floor has restrooms, drinking fountains, and elevators, and the exhibition space is wheelchair accessible.

The FIFA World Cup Gallery occupies the most significant exhibition space, which contains artefacts and information about the two most significant tournaments, the FIFA World Cup and the FIFA Women’s World Cup. The glittering World Cup Trophy up close and personal, as well as a movie including the most memorable World Cup Finals scenes, are the highlights for fans.

The Foundations, a memorial to the founders of football, should be your first destination. The FIFA Women’s World Cup Trophy and the FIFA World Cup Trophy are housed in The FIFA World CupTM Gallery after that. You enter The Cinema to view our short film “The Final” before riding the elevator to floor 1.

Visit our Museum Shop on level 2 after you tour the museum to browse our selection of football-related memorabilia. Our Bistro offers snacks and cool drinks as well.…

Zürich’s main church, perched on an open terrace above the river, dominates the city’s skyline with its twin towers. It is a Romanesque three-aisled galleried basilica constructed between the 11th and the 13th centuries and has a chancel over a crypt that dates to around 1100. The domed tops were built in 1782, but the towers’ upper levels date from 1487.

A seated statue of Charlemagne, thought to have founded the order to which the church originally belonged, is located high on the south tower on the riverside. The figure outside is a replica; the crypt houses the original, which the elements have severely damaged.

Check out the Late Romanesque cloister from around 1200, the two contemporary bronze doors created in 1935–1936, the sculptured Romanesque capitals, and the remnants of Gothic wall paintings. Augusto Giacometti created the choir’s three vibrantly coloured stained-glass windows in 1933.

An excellent museum showcasing the cultural history of the entire country of Switzerland is housed in a castle-like structure with a Neo-Gothic flair. With more than 820,000 items spanning a wide range of topics from prehistory to the 20th century, it is the most significant collection of Swiss historical and cultural relics.

Among the best in Europe are the archaeological collections, which contain objects from 100,000 BC to AD 800 found in Switzerland. Entire groups are devoted to fabrics, costumes, metalwork, jewellery, watches and clocks, rural life, carriages and sleighs, musical instruments, crafts, industrial antiques, and works by goldsmiths and silversmiths.

The collection of antique stained glass is quite fascinating, as are the mediaeval wall paintings. A notable collection of weapons and armour is on display in the Armory Tower.

Early migration and settlement, religious and intellectual history, political history, and the economic growth of Switzerland are the four themes that run through the exhibits. In 20 exhibitions, the Collections Gallery gives a general overview of Swiss goods and handicrafts.

The museum’s most famous exhibits are a collection of meticulously recreated historical rooms that display furnishings and decorative arts in room settings that trace habitation development through the ages as needs and tastes evolved. Additionally, on the show is 20th-century Swiss furniture, emphasising the differences.…
