ZURICH
Some are calling Zürich the new Berlin. Unlike Geneva, which probably underwhelms those of us who don’t have hundreds of thousands to spend in its designer stores and spas, Zürich boasts a lot more colour and character, with lido bars, a beautiful old town, museums that won’t make you snore, festivals aplenty and locals who like to party. As for where to stay, there are plenty of Airbnbs but, for the slickest boutique stay in town, it’s all about the Marktgasse Hotel (marktgassehotel.ch/en). Plan a springsummer trip to see the city at its best.
