Then, thanks to a University friend that frequents the city of Zurich, I was informed of the main traits of the place before visiting it. This helped me a lot, because I didn't have to do the usual previous and intensive research of the place. Anyway, in this post I am disposed to share with you all I have discovered about Zurich. Here it goes:
1. If you travel by car, I recommend you to park on the blue zone of the street. You can get an all-day ticket permission that costs 15CHF. And, believe me, it is "relatively" cheap. On Sundays it is free.
4. Yes, the Grossmunster offers appreciable bird views of Zurich, and in addition, it is the most famous "icon" of the city.
6. Some say that Zurich is the most expensive city in the world... Well, I have not traveled that much, but I can promise that is the most "exclusive" place I have been to.
7. If you want to explore the essence of the city, save the mony for the public transport ticket and move through the narrow streets on foot. One of the features that has fascinated me the most is the specialisation of the shops all over the city. They care about every detail and, I promise, they reach perfection. (I have fallen in love with a shop which sold teddys, it was adorable).
8. Must see avenue: Bahnhofstrasse. It is the Swiss "Passeig de Gràcia".
9. Our hotel was above the Main Station, so we walked down the city until the shore of the Lake. My advice is to follow this itinerary. From the Station to the Opera House and back.
10. Remember that in Switzerland they have a different currency that in the common Europe. But don't worry for the money exchange, there are many points through the city where you can get CHF. However, do not trust in the Credit Card way of payment, they do not accept it in many places!

2. Do not forget to take with you an umbrella!
3. If you want to see nice views of the city, you can go to The University of Zurich, which is located in the north-east of the city. Also, you can pay 4CHF to go upstairs inside the Grossmunster.

5. The language widely spoken is German, but everyone has more or less knowledge of English (much better than in Spain...).
