Experience Zurich
Beyond the Guidebooks

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.

From seasonal activities like Christmas markets, summer swimming spots, and festivals to must-see attractions like Grossmünster, the Chocolate Factory, Landesmuseum, and Üetliberg, I enjoy sharing Zurich’s culinary delights, vibrant cafés, and cultural treasures with visitors, helping them experience the city in a memorable and authentic way.

Hi, I'm Emilio!

I love how Zurich blends different atmospheres - from bustling banking districts to the calm of the lake, the charm of Old Town, and the local breweries that make the city so unique. Some of my favorite spots include enjoying sausages, fries, and beers with friends at Vorderer Sternen, or finding a peaceful moment on Lindenhof while watching the city’s energy flow below. Having lived in various neighborhoods, I know Badi Letten and its surroundings, the Old Town, Bahnhofstrasse, and Langstrasse very well. I’m passionate about Zurich’s architecture, view spots, restaurants - especially Italian cuisine - local food and beer, shopping areas, public gardens and historic sites, and I love sharing these experiences with visitors.

Hi, I’m Nina, a Zurich local who loves sharing the city’s unique blend of historic charm and modern vibrancy.

I’m fascinated by Zurich’s hidden paths, cultural events and the stories visible in every cobblestone of the old town. I enjoy visiting historical sites, taking part in traditions like the Sechseläuten and supporting dance and art through events such as Zurich tanzt.
