Zurich

Zurich is one of the most expensive cities in the world

Description:

Züri is the name of one of the most expensive cities in the world.

Do they actually own Zurich, or are the real owners of Paradeplatz (aka Säumärt, aka Neumarkt) the largest money market in Switzerland? The same square, where in the 50s of the XX century, one of the versions of Venetian pasta was brought - and called Luxemburgerli, and a century earlier, a station could be built, and even earlier, nearby, a crossbow of the national hero of the confederation was stored.

Was there a Charles who had kings and bells on churches? And did the serpents give him a magic ring from which to love even after the tomb?

Interesting about the city:

  • The city until the XVI century belonged to women, but they received the right to vote only 50 years ago.
  • Here the reformers advised to go to the doctor, not to pilgrim to distant countries.
  • Here lived Alfred Escher, the same one who created both Credit Suisse and ETHZ (whose student was Einstein) and cut a 15 km long railway tunnel into Italy;
  • Here Lafater and Goethe met, Wagner and Casanova visited;
  • Dadaism was created.
  • Lived Lenin, James Joyce and Carl Jung;
  • Created Corbusier, Tangley, Carlo Scarpa and already a very adult Chagall, and Augusto Giacometti painted the former orphanage, condemned the police station to the title of “the most beautiful in the world”;
  • In Zurich, Churchill, in one of the most prestigious universities of the old continent, called for the creation of a united Europe, in which Switzerland never entered, and England had already left.

Zurich is a city where to pay 3,000 a month for a rented apartment, you need to pass a casting, like in a Hollywood movie. Buying 100 square meters for 1.5 million is equivalent to winning roulette. We will see the main attractions, visit several observation decks and talk about the past and present of Zurich and Switzerland. I’m a good photo and you can count on the right angles in the most Instagram places in the city – all this you will take away as a memory of Zurich.
