🇨🇭👋 we had so much fun showing off our city! Thanks for having us!

[@CallieMasters5000]

Sarah, is this a different company than your usual videos or what? Great video! I love seeing all my old favorite places.

[@Alpenwild]

Thanks for sharing your expertise and love of Switzerland with our Alpenwild guests. Love those insider tips!

[@ladykitzcosplay]

Thank you for showing the lockers and the beautiful view points! We arrive in Zurich and just want to spend the day there, without lugging around our luggage!

[@nareshbathla]

Well shooted and beautifully described

[@truly_puravida]

I have an upcoming 11 hr layover in ZRH, and this vid is just what the Dr ordered! Thank you 🙂

[@Alpenwild]

We are glad to help!

[@anacampbell984]

Thank you for the info .. I can’t wait for my layover ❤

[@resanijo]

excellent walking tour

[@eel324]

Great tips! We have one more day in Xurich and will hit some of these spots. Thanks Sarah!

[@DannyA3579]

Really enjoy your channel. I just came back from Switzerland 2 weeks ago. Wow! I can’t believe it’s been 2 weeks already. Spent my week in Zurich and traveled by train to places like Geneve, Luzern, Lauterbrunnen, Vevey, Bern, and some other small towns. Went to Jungfraujoch, Lindt Home of Chocolate, and also to the Chaplin residence / museum. While in Zurich I actually went to many of the places you mention here (though not into too many shops). One of my favorite things was just grabbing some local food and sitting along the banks of Lake Zurich for dinner at 9pm, while feeding the ducks and swans. What a beautiful country.

[@albertjschoenenberger9074]

Excellent short stay comments. Congratulation!

[@thewinglet1]

The one way ticket from airport to city costs currently 6,80 CHF. Make sure you have enough time, otherwise it's not worth to go to the city.

[@DanielDuhon]

How much is enough time?

[@ednalula2980]

Thank you for this informative and beautiful video you made.

[@crystalclark3308]

Excellent video! I wish I had seen this one before my stay, but I was able to visit some of the places you mentioned.😊

[@kunalbose9457]

This is great video. Thanks so much. I will be in Zurich late November for a vacation and was wondering what to do, during spare time in the evenings and this will be very helpful

[@aditipramanik-jr1xx]

Very nice city to visit.Really enjoyed our vacation.

[@briannameighan4943]

Excellent video!! Thank you!!!!

[@titoustitous6380]

Could we get to know

[@VlogAwi]

i love your content, thank you for sharing 🎉

[@agnimanbanerjee7339]

Nice explanation

[@laurelefranc783]

Thank you !

[@vicktr9601]

I enjoy your channel. You put in so much live and assurance in your presentation . Awesome

[@atischakrabarti7663]

Excellent presentation- What is the best way to go the train station from the airport?

[@Alpenwild]

There is a train station in the Zurich Airport. You'll take the escalators down a level and there is great signage toward the train platforms.

[@Alpenwild]

There is a train station at Zurich Airport with trains leaving every 15 mnutes or so to Zurich HB (main station). It's just an 11-minute train ride to put you in the heart of Zurich.

[@olivefotografixpensivepare6712]

I love your video! Thank you! I'm from NYC/NJ area and I will have 3 hours in Zurich this spring---first time in your beautiful country! Will I have enough time to walk from Zurich HB to Fraumunster, Grossmunster and back? I would love to try Hitl but I'm afraid I might need to go back to the airport sooner.

[@Alpenwild]

If you had three solid hours, and started from Zurich HB (Main train station) you could walk down Bahnhofstrasse, up to Lindenhof Park, on to Fraumuster (step inside to see the Marc Chagall windows) across the bridge to the Grossmunster (you could even climb the bell tower) and return to Zurich HB, either on foot or by tram. If you move quickly, you might even have time to pop into a chocolate shop. Zurich is very compact and walkable. Enjoy your trip to Zurich.

[@mailcarrier30]

Two places that I definitely want to visit if I ever come to Switzerland is Zurich and Conny Land. Hoping I’d be able to meet Dunja Bitar in person while in Zurich. 😍 I might be out of her league, but a guy can dream, huh? 😂

[@sjsuguy22]

Any suggestions for a long layover 5 hours? Thanks for the awesome video 😍😍😍

[@Alpenwild]

Everything suggested in the video would just about fill a 5 hour layover once you leave the airport and return in time for security and check in. If you have some extra time do some Bahnhofstrasse shopping, visit a few of the premier chocolatiers, or go to the National Museum. It's all within easy walking distance from Zurich main station.

[@sjsuguy22]

@@Alpenwild thanks so much 💓💓💓. Another person from Switzerland warned me that they had train problems there in the past week? Is that true? We arrive from San Francisco at 9am and our flight to Phuket is at 2pm...so we think that's enough time.. As long as the trains are not out of service 😊

[@Alpenwild]

@@sjsuguy22 I'm not aware of any train problems, especially between Zurich Airport and Zurich HB (main train station). There are trains every few minutes and it's an 11-minute trip. Zurich is a great walking city. Enjoy your stopover.

[@ramonlovo6148]

Any suggestions for a long layover 21 hours? Where to stay? Arriving at 2 pm leaving at 11 am to Dubai. Any hotels suggestions?

[@Alpenwild]

@@ramonlovo6148 In Zurich, we recommend the Hotel St. Gotthard and the Hotel Townhouse which are both very close to the train station and both very nice. The Hotel Townhouse is a smaller 3-star boutique hotel and the Hotel St. Gotthard is a 4-star hotel with air conditioning. Since we made this video, a new attraction in Zurich has opened near Zurich called the "Lindt Home of Chocolate". It's a 10-minute bus ride from downtown and has a 9-meter tall chocolate fountain, a great tour, and taste-testing throughout.

[@roadracer517]

The lockers? Do they have them for ski bags? Thank you for giving me something to do on my final day cause my flight is at night.

[@roadracer517]

My question too.

[@BernhardSchwarz-xs8kp]

Yes they do - but not in the lockers. Looki for the "Luaggage counter".

[@ontarioyamon]

Great video. Are there walking tours available (~1-2 hours in length) that people can join (not prebooked), like one might find in other European cities? just to see the highlights and get a lay of the land. Thx

[@Alpenwild]

Yes, there are guided walking tours of the old city, Free Walking tours, and self-guided walking tours. In less than two hours you can do a great loop walk, starting at the main station (Zurich HB) walk through the old town, across the river, to the Munster, and back to the station. A map and suggestions are available at the tourism office in the main station.

[@ontarioyamon]

@@Alpenwild Thank you! Would you recommend any reputable Free Walking Tour companies?

[@Alpenwild]

@@ontarioyamon The only one I'm aware of is freewalk.ch/zurich, but I haven't used them, so I can't give a personal recommendation.

[@Vishnu-ss2pr]

Thank you for mentioning that vegetarian restaurant while going for foreign country tours i always worried about food as i'm vegetarian it is really difficuilt for me to find vegetarian food Thanks a lot again god bless you🤞🙏🏻

[@folarinfatai8897]

How do I get a job here, am a foreigner in Zurich

[@zamielreza2090]

Do you have any recommendations for internet connection there ?

[@Alpenwild]

You'll find free Wi-Fi at Zurich Airport, Zurich HB, and at most restaurants.

[@nnklava9393]

What's a location at the beginning of the video 0:15?

[@Alpenwild]

That scene was shot in and around Lindenhof park overlooking the Limmat River in Zurich's old town area.

[@aleksandarmihaylov6884]

Is Sarah already making videos for this chanel ?

[@Alpenwild]

We have a nmber of contributors throughout the Alps. Sarah is based in Zurich, so she's the expert for what to do in Zurich.

[@hannaliza2221]

Hi is there a snow in December? My layover is 21 hours in Zurich but I don’t where to go 😩 thank you 🤗🙏

[@Alpenwild]

On a 21-hour layover, I would suggest staying close to Zurich. Many ski resorts don't open until late December. But I and around Zurich you'll find Christmas markets and many holiday festivities.

[@hannaliza2221]

@@Alpenwild thank you 😊

[@hannaliza2221]

@@Alpenwild what train should I take to go to Christmas market? Thank you 🙏

[@Alpenwild]

The largest indoor market is at the Zurich main train station. Others are nearby or easily reachable by a 15-min walk or a short tram ride. @@hannaliza2221

Do the tour 3 times and you will need a rest.

Sarah, thank you for your lovely invitation to visit Zurich, Switzerland. I will visit Zurich, Switzerland, when I will become a millionaire. Sarah, we are brilliant, noble and strong together.

But is IS all you can eat if you have enough money....

[@bogdanbogdan3462]

3 000 trains a day ?seems a bit much:)

[@Alpenwild]

Zurich's train station is busy, but just rated "the Best in Europe."

[@dimasarifprassetyo4143]

@@Alpenwild all the places mentioned were done by walking only? or do we need to take public transportation? thanks

[@Alpenwild]

@@dimasarifprassetyo4143 Yes, everything described in the video can be done on a walk from Zurich train station, without having to use public transportation.

Less hand waving please. I got dizzy. But short and sweet and no waffle

[@BernhardSchwarz-xs8kp]

Absolutely agree with you. Unfortunately - many people who are new to the production of videos - or even in lecturing groups - forget - that the topic they present is why people watch the video. Unless the content catches his interest within 15 seconds, it's over. There is no faster way to lose the audience than by acting like a circus clown on a coffin overdose. (google - "elevator pitch")
