Zürich, Switzerland

Home to most of Switzerland’s research and development centers, Zurich is also the largest city in the country. It consistently ranks at the top of global livability indexes.The city of Zurich, a global center for banking and finance, lies at the north end of Lake Zurich in northern Switzerland. The picturesque lanes of the central Altstadt (Old Town), on either side of the Limmat River, reflect its pre-medieval history. Waterfront promenades like the Limmatquai follow the river toward the 17th-century Rathaus (town hall).
