Switzerland - Zurich City Rambles

We arrived in Zurich just in time for the summer sale. Instead of ambling the length of Zurich’s famous shopping mile, the Bahnhofstrasse, which literally means Train Station Street - it does actually lead to the main train station of Zurich if you start from the lakeside end of it - we opted to take tram number 13 to Sihlcity. This more affordable shopping and leisure center is just a few minutes away from the heart of Zurich. I just loved the writing on the wall there, which said “Alles fürs Leben. Jetzt im Ausverkauf” , literally, “Everything for your life, now on sale”. However, the press of people shopping was at mega low volume as the inhabitants of Zurich city had flooded out to the riverside in droves to catch some sun colour. The greater number of them however were, I guess, pulling their hair out inside the office blocks while looking at the streaming rays of sun outside.

As for us, I think that a walk along lake Zurich will be next on the cards...
