Langstrasse is Zurich's most colorful and varied district. You can savor international specialties and enjoy multi-cultural shopping options during the day here, while the street converts into Zurich's nightlife district at night. One bar after another, popular clubs and if you get hungry from partying a lot, there's plenty of food available from the many take-aways and 24-hour shops. Langstrasse never sleeps and has progressed from a former red-light district into one of the most popular districts in the city. This is also thanks to the many young designers and restaurant owners, who have upgraded the district over the past years.

Parks / Nature

Go up Üetliberg, a hill overlooking Zurich. You can hike up, or take a train from the main station. Enjoy the 360 degree view from a tall viewing tower (not for vertigo sufferers!). This is also the start of the planetenweg (planetary walk), an 8 mile walk along the ridge with models of the planets along the way. These are scaled down in true proportion to the solar system. To look at Zürich from the other hills, go to the Irchel (Tram station Milchbuck) or Käferberg (Bucheggplatz, walk up the hill and keep right of the forest).
