I’m Silvia, a local host in Zurich, and what I love most about this city is how it blends beauty, tradition, and modern life so seamlessly. From historic buildings overlooking the lake to lively events, museums, restaurants, and shopping, Zurich is a place where you can never get bored. I enjoy simple pleasures here, like browsing a bookstore and relaxing in a café on Bahnhofstrasse, or taking a boat out on the lake to soak in the views. I know neighborhoods like Kreis 1, 6, 8, 11, and 12 really well, and I’m always excited to share their unique character. Whether you’d like to explore the charm of Niederdorf, understand the city’s excellent transport system, or discover hidden spots locals love, I’ll make sure your time in Zurich feels welcoming, memorable, and full of discoveries.
