What to do while in Zurich
When you rent a car in Zurich, it’s easy to visit the city’s most popular attractions, such as the Kunsthaus Zürich art gallery. You can also head to Bahnhofstrasse, a major street that is lined with shops and cafes. Don’t miss out on going to Grossmünster, one of the largest cathedrals in the city that dates to the 12th century. You can also drive along the shores of Lake Zurich, which is a great area to do some swimming when the weather is warm.
Winter in Zurich
It tends to be cold and snowy in Zurich during the winter months, so this can be a nice time to check out a museum or two. The Swiss National Museum is a great way to learn about the country’s history, while the Museum Rietberg specializes in non-European artwork. There is also the FIFA World Football Museum, which sports enthusiasts are certain to want to spend a few hours exploring. Be sure to book an SUV with winter equipment for winter trips to Zurich!
