The city of Zurich is the largest city in Switzerland with 409,241 inhabitants. The development of Zurich goes back to the Roman base Turicum an in 1262 got an Free Imperial City and 1351 Member of the Confederation of Switzerland.
The former city of the reformer Huldrych Zwingli experienced its rise in the industrial age to today's economic metropolis of Switzerland. In 2014, Zurich was awarded the honorary title of "Reformation City of Europe" by the Community of Protestant Churches in Europe.
Zurich Airport (IATA code: ZRH, ICAO code: LSZH) is the largest and most important airport in Switzerland operated by the listed Flughafen Zürich AG.
At the time of the Roman Empire, Avenches, at the time called Aventicum, was the most important city on Swiss soil next to the trade route from the Rhone valley via Augusta Raurica to Germania.
It is only a few kilometers from the campsite at Murtensee to the Swiss town of Avenches, which is done by bike within a few minutes.
The rose garden above the old town is probably one of the most beautiful parks in the city of Bern which offers a unique view of the roof landscape of the historic old town, the cathedral and the Aare river.
The Swiss town of Yverdon today stretches on the alluvial plain at the mouth of the river Zihl in Lake Neuchâtel at 435 m above sea level, about 30 km north of the canton's capital Lausanne.
Abroad tours for vacations that have become popular in recent years will be in great request also this year. If you do not like the tour packages and prefer to plan your own travel, Zurich will be my first suggestion for Europe destination.
Further preparations as part of our project A Cultural Journey along Roman Roads will take us from Antalya to Zurich and thus to our friends Beat and Sebnem in Wädenswil.
The most delicious products and specialties, the connoisseur, restaurant owner or amateur cook can buy at one of the countless weekly markets or in the farm shops in and around Zurich, this was announced by our friend Beat.
The following two days we wanted to spend sightseeing in downtown Zurich and in this regard had searched for accommodation in the city center of Zurich in the relevant hotel booking machines.
