Welcome to Zurich
today we are taking you with us to Zurich
and we are going to show you the best things you should do in Zurich
We are staying in the old town and it's actually a great place to start your tour of the city
if you are new here we are Mansoureh and Bruno, an Iranian and Italian couple
in the last video, we showed you how much things actually cost in Zurich but this
video is all about things to do, see and eat in Zurich. let's head to the old town the historic
heart and one of the most romantic places in Zurich
The old town is full of little narrow cobbled streets which remind me a lot of Italy
and other European cities as well I guess the main difference
is how clean these streets are just quite amazing for me to see
I think this was just a cable car and they are not working
anymore and they brought here and they became like a table for a restaurant
Zurich is a walkable city I mean you don't need to use public transport you can easily
walk to all of the attractions and see the city while walking
for the great view of the city we have to climb the tower of Grossmunster if I am pronouncing it
right or wrong i'm not sure it's a church and we should climb the stairs and go top of the tower
actually this is the two-way tower and it's really narrow it's really
tricky because some people are coming down and we are going up
I think this is the final stage
it is kind of disappointing because i thought that we could actually have a great view but because of
i don't know what it is. this kind of door we can't go out and our view is kind of blocked
and to get here you need to buy a ticket which is 5 Swiss Francs
if you want to have a great view of the old town actually you can come here
in Lindenhof, here you can see it for free I mean you don't have to pay
anything and free of charge you can enjoy the view
finding a table in a restaurant was a bit challenging today I think because it's Saturday
and it's quite busy and there were a lot of events like weddings and some of the restaurants
were fully booked for the event but finally we found one and we couldn't go inside we have to sit
outside hopefully it's not going to rain and we order some Swiss dishes
I can't pronounce the name of them but I will write it down here and you will see how they look like
this is one of the typical Swiss dish it's a Veal sausage and Bruno ordered something with
pork sausage both dishes are served with potato salad and mine actually served with onion sauce let's
try it and see how it is and because usually I don't order sausages i'm not fan of sausages but
it tastes really good and actually I think I like it usually I don't like sausages because
you feel the fat but this is not fatty and I like it and let's try the potato salad
amazing wow
next to the Zurich lake you can find the opera house and the big
square i can't pronounce the name is quite like long and hard to pronounce it , Sechseläutenplatz
and it's beautiful because there are some chairs with umbrella and you can just sit
here there is an ice cream shop you can buy ice cream and eat and it's quite good and relaxing
and again i'm shocked by how clean and tidy this square is it's unbelievable
there are some spots on the lake where you can go actually for a swim
this lake is filled with fresh water and the water is clean
so don't worry if you're here and you want to just get wet and you love swimming you can do it here
there are some scuba divers in the lake and they are trying to clean the lake
I talked to one of them she was saying that is really hard because the visibility is
really poor and it's hard to clean the lake
apparently this happens once a year at the end of August, scuba divers come to the lake
for cleaning they go deep and they take all the rubbish out. I mean when I'm talking about cleaning
the lake you are wondering like plastic bottles, cans and everything but I actually
was shocked to see what they found inside the lake like chairs
bicycles. I don't know who dumped them in the lake it's quite weird
we are going to take a cruise and it should be
one hour cruise going around the lake and we have only two minutes
and we can buy a ticket on the boat which is good
the ticket for one hour mini cruise is CHF 6.80
this cruise is not actually a touristy thing to do, locals use these mini cruises or other cruises
as a public transport there are some stops on the way we are not alighting or we are not getting off
the boat and we are just going around the lake and we are going back to the same spot
I think this is the best way to see the lake because the lake is so huge and you can't
walk around the lake all the way and it's raining it's better to be somewhere indoor
Switzerland is famous for having the best chocolate in the world
so when you're in Zurich you can try some of the best Swiss chocolate here
last but not least when you are in Zurich you must try fondue Swiss melted cheese dish
it's hot
It is so hot
i think i'm going to burn myself
same as always thanks for watching and see you in the next video
i'm actually a little bit upset if not pissed
because we just got one liter of still water and they charged us CHF 9.50
which is like almost eight pounds for a liter of water that's not great
