Zurich
Zurich wasn’t really on my radar until I went—and now I can’t stop thinking about when to go back. It’s the kind of city that quietly charms you with its lake views, spotless streets, and food that’s so much better than you’d expect. Local ingredients, precise execution, and just enough butter to keep things interesting.
On the blog, I’m sharing my favorite spots to eat, stay, and explore, whether you’re in town for a weekend or settling in for something a bit longer. You’ll find restaurant reviews, hotel tips, and the occasional hike or day trip (this is Switzerland, after all). No fluff, just the good stuff, curated and tested, one Gipfeli at a time.
