Hi, I'm Michael. Zurich is full of quiet corners, hidden architectural gems, and surprises around every street and I love sharing them with visitors. I enjoy wandering the Old Town and lakeside, especially on Saturdays at the flea market or during farmers’ market days and taking the train up to Üetliberg to explore the hills, whether snow blankets the city or spring brings it to life. I know all the neighborhoods intimately and take pride in introducing guests to Zurich’s geography, history, local cuisine, shops and lesser-known architectural treasures. For me, the joy is helping visitors see the city’s charm and diversity through thoughtful, immersive experiences.
