Zurich

City Guide

 

The old Swiss center of art that stayed young

What Berlin is to Germany, Zurich is to Switzerland: the metropolis that assembles artists, galleries and museums from all over the country. Museum Rietberg features impressive art from outside Europe, the Kunsthaus is the premier address for paintings and sculptures since the late Middle Ages. But it is the present that Zurich feels most passionate about. The Löwenbräu complex is well worth a visit, with major international exhibitions at the Kunsthalle and the Migros Museum as well as with ambitious galleries, which have sprung up in the close vicinity.
