• Zurich was not that expensive!

    September 11 in Switzerland ☁️ 16 °C

    Zurich was great and so welcoming 🥰 We only had a few hours to explore before our train to the next destination.

    After leaving all our luggage in a locker at the train station, we headed up to the Polyterrasse viewpoint to get our first sight on the city.

    Then I remembered that I had saved one fun thing to do in Zurich: you can borrow a set of physical keys for free from the Stadthaus and use them to unlock hidden historical sites around the Old Town.

    We filled in a simple form, got our key and a map with all the spots marked and we were SO excited 😄

    In the meantime, we randomly got on a local police graduation celebration, where we were given some delicious treats. 🥰

    The self guided archaeological treasure hunt was so much fun! We got lost a few times, but luckily Phily is just way too good with maps💛.

    And then we got an unexpected bonus: at the very last minute, we managed to join a visit to the police building and see the incredible Giacometti frescoes! 🎨

    Not bad for just a few hours in Zurich. 😃
