The city of Zurich, lies at the north end of Lake Zurich in northern Switzerland

 “You go to a place for a visit and deep in your heart you think that this place can be your own home and Zurich is such a place!” ― Mehmet Murat ildan

(in Switzerland) Zürich, this country's largest city, is found in an Alpine setting at the northwestern end of Lake Zürich. A financial, cultural, and industrial center, the city lies between two forested chains of hills, about 40 miles (60 km) from the northern foothills of the Alps. Two rivers, the Limmat and Sihl, run through it. Zürich’s western and northeastern limits are formed by the Albis mountains and by Zürichberg, a wooded hilly area. Culturally vibrant, efficiently run and attractively set at the meeting of river and lake, Zürich is widely recognized as one of the world's most livable cities. Switzerland's wealthiest metropolis has also emerged in the 21st century as one of Central Europe's popular destinations, with a post-industrial edge that is epitomized by its exuberant summer Street Parade. Much of the ancient center, with its winding lanes and tall church steeples, has been kept intact. Yet Zürich has also fully embraced contemporary trends, with the conversion of old factories into cultural centers and creative new living spaces. Nowhere is that clearer than in Züri-West, the hub of the city’s nightlife.
