Museums and more

One of the most prominent museums in Zurich is the Reitburg Museum. It contains a collection of art from around the world, and the pieces it has chosen are striking, interesting and amazingly gorgeous. The African collection is one of the best in the world, and has dozens of pieces of art that are memorable and amazing. Other collections that rotate in and out on a temporary basis or their more permanent collections are well worth seeing.

Once you've enjoyed the Reitburg consider visiting the Sprunglis spread around the city - these speciality bakeries contain some of the most delicious examples of Swizz baking that you'll ever encounter and is well worth the visit.
