The Old Town and the scenic beauty with Lake Zürich and the Alps in the background are unique features of Zürich. Make sure to take a stroll along both sides of the Limmat, the river that flows through the city, so you can see the beauty from all sides. FIFA have their headquarters in Zürich, and there's a museum you can visit. I highly recommend it!
