🇨🇭 Breathtaking Rheinfall in Swiss✨💎

#europetrip Visiting Rheinfall, Europe's biggest waterfall, was an unforgettable journey. 📍RheinFall, Switzerland 💰5CHF for entrance 🚞 How to Go I took a train from Zurich, reaching "Schloss Laufen am Rheinfall" station in just about an hour—a straightforward and scenic route. For those planning the trip, checking train schedules in advance is a good tip, and a Swiss Travel Pass can offer both convenience and savings. 💎💎💎 The moment I arrived, the thunderous sound of water hinted at the fall's grandeur. Witnessing Europe's largest waterfall up close, I was deeply touched and amazed by its sheer scale and beauty. The vast cascade against lush landscapes was awe-inspiring, making me feel a profound connection to nature. Visiting Rheinfall is an experience I highly recommend for a taste of nature's true magic. There’s an enchanting town nearby Rheinfall: Stein am Rhein that you might visit together with this magical fall. Personally I suggest to go Rheinfall in the morning then take train to Stein am Rhein for a chill lunch and afternoon walk✨✨ #switzerland #rheinfall #Zurich #happyplace

🇨🇭Day 1: SIN - ZRH

I’ve always dreamt of going to Switzerland and I finally did it! Mustered up enough courage and travel funds to book a long-haul 13 hours direct flight to Zurich with Singapore Airlines, and the only regret I takeaway from this is… THIS TRIP WAS WAY TOO SHORT, and also I learnt that I would very much prefer a layover for long-haul flights. 📝 I chose to stay in Hotel St. Gotthard throughout my time in Switzerland and took day trips out to other places because there’s lots of shopping near the hotel, fast food, restaurants, supermarket… everything is just a few steps away! Most importantly, the hotel is located just a mere 5mins walk away to Zurich HB (train station) which is extremely convenient since my itinerary consist of taking lots of day trips out! I was early for check-in so I dropped my luggage off at reception and started my day 1 in Switzerland! 📍Hotel: Hotel St. Gotthard Bahnhofstrasse 87, 8001 Zürich, Switzerland S$1800 for 7 nights There were lots of luxury fashion and jewellery brands around to do some window shopping, nice quaint little cafes but they were closed for mid afternoon break. Day walking around and finally saw an open cafe, which was crowded but didn’t have much of a choice! Had some pastries and coffee to recharge after the long flight, which cost about 20CHF. 💸 📍Cafe: Boréal Coffee Shop Talacker (ZU) Talacker 41, 8001 Zürich, Switzerland Taking day 1 light and easy to familiarise myself around the hotel! #switzerland #zurich #timetotravel #citywalk #hotelreview

Best viewpoint for plane spotting in Zurich 🇨🇭

Whether you are an aviation enthusiast or not, it is a wonderful experience watching the take-offs and landings of aircrafts up close. There are two observation decks in Zurich Airport. Observation Deck B, located in the public area of Zurich Airport, is open to public at a small entrance fee. Observation Deck E, located on top of Dock E in the passenger zone, is open for passengers with a boarding pass. Public visitors can also take a shuttle bus to observation deck E from deck A. We had a chance to relax in the fresh air on Observation Deck E before boarding our flight in Zurich airport. The deck offers a spectacular view of the airport activities as it is situated at the centre of the three runways. Visitors also have an opportunity to spot A380 up close as the world’s largest aircraft docks very close to the observation deck several times a day. #Switzerland #swiss #zurich #airport #planespotting #airplanes #tripblazers #a380 #observationdeck

A Swiss Marvel!

Location: Zurich, northern Switzerland. Getting there: The international airport flies to most major European cities. You can also get the train from Milan, Vienna or Stuttgart. Switzerland is a wonderful choise for a holiday and Zurich is my favourite city there. There are excellent views of the alps from the city bridges, you can see the Swiss cathedral spires dominating the skyline. There are really nice tiny restaurants by the river you can enjoy. Tip: Take the tram fifteen minutes away from the center to stay in a hotel there. It's a LOT cheaper than staying in the expensive centre. #zurich

Twilight view from the top of Zurich

The top of Zurich can be easily reached by taking train S10 from Zurich HB to the final stop Uetliberg in half an hour. At 2,850 feet above sea level, Uetliberg offers an impressive panoramic view of the city. After a short walk from the train station, you will reach the highest point of Uetliberg, where the Uto Kulm restaurant is located. It is a perfect dining place for you and your loved ones whole absorbing the breathtaking panorama. If you want an even better view, you can climb the Uetliberg Lookout Tower next to the restaurant for CHF 2. However the view from the bottom of the tower is already good enough! Uetliberg is also the starting point of a popular hiking trail. This 6-km trail from Uetliberg to Felsenegg takes you on a fascinating tour through a model of the solar system. #valentinescape #Switzerland #swiss #zurich #twilight #sunset #tower #restaurant #TopofZurich #Uetliberg #utokulm #hiking #tripblazers

Clean and quiet stay in Zurich suburb

#mytripvlog We stayed in Sorell Hotel Sonnental on our last day in Switzerland. The hotel is located in Dübendorf, a suburb of Zurich. From Zurich HB you need to take a 10-min train ride to Stettbach, and from there either a bus or tram to the hotel. The hotel looks rather new. We were given a room at the top floor (4th floor). There were no windows but two sunroofs in the room. The room was quite spacious and clean. Strangely there was a door to the hotel storeroom inside our toilet. There's no air-conditioning in the room too, so it could be quite hot during summer. The hotel restaurant serves good breakfast.

Comfortable rest near Zurich Airport

#mytripvlog Address - Flughofstrasse 45, 8152 Opfikon, Switzerland Ambiance/Facilities -  The room can accommodate up to 3 adults. There is a double decker with a queen bed below and single bed above. However the room is quite small so it may be a little cramped for 3 adults. Shower and toilet are separated. Highlights -  We booked the hotel as we had an overnight stopover in Zurich. It was only 2 tram stops and few minutes away from Zurich airport. Glattbrugg, Unterriet tram stop is just right outside the hotel. Breakfast spread is quite standard across all the hotels we stayed in Europe. #hotel #budgethotel #switzerland #swiss #zurich #airport #stopover #budget

The old town of Zurich, Switzerland

Zurich is the largest city in Switzerland and for a outdoor enthusiasts who like nature Zurich won't be my 1st choice of travel. But if you are someone who want to understand about the old times and want to enjoy the best traditional switzerlander food, then yes Zurich is the first place that you should explore since most major international carrier also fly via Zurich right? Zurich is separated by the old town and new town and you will know the difference with the cobblestone and the houses along the streets and by the water have the medieval architecture. Also do remember to visit the love lock bridge at muhlesteg which stretches across the Seine River where you will see many padlocks hang on the bridge railings to symbolise like locking if love for couples. Also all around Zurich, you will find many restaurants here serving traditional food like rosti, cheese fondues and amazing desserts but just a warning, eating out in Switzerland isn't gonna be cheap! #celebratewithtrip #switzerland #europe #zurich #oldtown #medieval #educational #historical

The City Of Dachsen, Switzerland

Dachsen is a city located up north of Zurich, about an hour less drive or so. There are several things to do here especially for outdoor enthusiasts, where there are hiking trials, old medieval harblingen Castle and waterfalls. One attraction where you must absolutely go is the rhine falls which is just a short 5mins drive or its even walkable from the city centre itself. And although this waterfall maybe the shortest waterfall compared to the other ones in Switzerland but its said to be the biggest waterfall by volume of water it spouts out. For hikers, there is a hiking trial that starts at the city of schaffhausen which the path follows the river trial all the way to the rhine falls, a relative easy hike. Also, if you are saying overnight in Dachsen or Zurich, do make sure you take a photo of the city lights in the night as its a while different view entirely. #fallingforfall #zurich #switzerland #view #scenic #hike #tripblazers #europe #dachsen

Vintage Flea Market at the Centre of Zurich

Chanced upon this gem at the centre of Zurich on a Saturday afternoon! Ranging from vintage to secondhand clothings, jewellery, branded bags & wallets, vintage vinyls & figurines, as well as other high-quality products, this place is great for people of all ages! Always remember to block out some time in your itinerary to go for this experience as the flea market takes about an hour to cover and do remember to bring your own bags!! 🛍 The locals were also really friendly so you can also have a chat with them to learn more about their culture and where those stuff come from. Would totally go again if there's a chance! 🤩 #switzerland #zurich #mustdo #fallingforfall #fleamarket

Stunning

#bucketlistreboot Grossmünster This is an iconic twin-towered Romanesque cathedral, where 1500s religious reformer Huldrych Zwingli preached. Huldrych Zwingli is known for leading the Swiss reformed movement in Switzerland. The cathedral is very imposing and can be seen from all sides of the river Limmat. It’s also very close to the old city centre. Niederdorfstrasse Niederdorfstrasse is the main street that runs through Zurich’s Niederdorf district. It lies on the east bank of the Limmat. It leads into the old city centre squares starting from the statue of the Swiss Soldier. It’s a good opportunity to buy souvenirs or that all important fridge magnet! #zurich #switzerland

Zurich city

#bucketlistreboot Sechseläutenplatz Benches and heritage architecture around a pedestrian square by Lake Zurich, hosting seasonal markets. It offers a good place for photos as from there you can even see the Zurich Opera House which opened in 1891, for classic and contemporary opera & ballet. On a sunny day the square burst with white so, sun glasses will be very much welcomed. Theaterstrasse Similar to the London West End or New York Broadway, Zurich has its Theaterstrasse. This is where you will be able to find cinemas and theatres for your weekend night out like a local. If not too much out of your way, worth checking out some of the local plays. #switzerland #zurich

Beautiful Zurich

#eurotrip to #zurich Zurich, pronounced [ˈtsyːrɪç], is the capital city of the Zurich Canton. It’s often believed it also serves as a second capital due to its role in the past hosting the Confederal Diet in two-year rotations however, believe it or not Switzerland doesn’t have an official capital. Yep, you read that right. Zurich has been permanently settled for the last 2000 years since Roman days. Nowadays, less than 450 000 souls call it home. The official language of Zurich is German, but the main spoken language is Zurich German, the local variant of the Alemannic Swiss German dialect. In speaking with some German acquaintances they’ve mentioned Swiss German in general is very hard to understand as the Swiss do have a specific accent and use different words depending on the context. You could probably say the same for Scottish English vs. English. Although Switzerland is part of Schengen, they have not joined the E.U. hence they don’t use Euros. Hence, within Switzerland, you will also need Swiss francs.

🇨🇭 Flying business class with Swiss Air

#2024wish We flew business class with Swiss Air from Zurich to Lisbon. There are two Swiss lounges for business class passengers in Zurich Airport, one in terminal A, the other in terminal E. There are also other more luxurious lounges for first class passengers. The business class lounge that we went to served all-day buffet with a wide variety of appetizers, salads, desserts, snacks, coffees, juices and alcohols. The lounge can get quite crowded at times. Overall it was a pleasant experience. In 2024 I wish to travel to China as it offers visa free travel to many countries. My last visit to China was before COVID in 2019. So it's time to visit again! #switzerland #swiss #Zurich #airport #swissair #stopover #lounge #business #airline #tripblazers
