Armannito's Adventures - Zurich,Switzerland a Place for Everyone

in #adsactly7 years ago

The city of Zurich lies in the heart of Europe and at the center of Switzerland, on the northern shores of Lake Zurich. The city of Zurich officially has 12 urban districts, called Stadtkreise.They are simply numbered from 1 to 12.

District names:

  • Niederdorf (Kreis 1)
  • City/Lindenhof (Kreis 1)
  • Seefeld (Kreis 1)
  • Langstrasse (Kreis 4 & 5)
  • Zürich West (Kreis 5)
  • Enge & Wollishofen (Kreis 2)
  • Zürich Nord - Oerlikon (Kreis 11)

As a first timer in Zuirch i would say that the city very beautiful.I consulted my guide book in hopes of finding a location that would provide a panoramic view of the old town. This site, high above the river, offered a spectacular vantage point. Named for the Linden trees which provide welcomed shade, this place offered solitude and a level of quietness not found elsewhere. Couples were also using the location to share a picnic. After taking few pictures, it was interesting to observe some older gentlemen playing a game of chess on a huge chess board permanently laid out on the ground. It was amazing to see children runnining around the park and playing football. It was just an amazing view.

The City - Pictures

Afterall i have to say that the Center of the City of Zurich was the most exciting part of the tour. It's like something i've never seen before. The streets were full with people having fun, going to jobs with their bikes, running for the train and even the police was so kind to lead our group. They were doing an amazing job securing the city and the people of the city. In the whole tour i had an amazing experience.
