Zurich accommodations

Zurich accommodations welcome you to a destination nicknamed “Züri”. Known for its architecture, museums, parks, gardens, squares, churches, spas, salons, Christmas markets, recreational activities, natural surroundings and chocolate, Zurich is located in northern Switzerland, just 15 miles from Germany’s southern border. As such, Zurich people speak a unique Swiss-German dialect. The Limmat river commences in southern Zurich and continues northwesterly for 22 miles, where it converges with the Aare river. Breaching Zurich’s central Old Town District 1, Lake Zurich, Switzerland’s 6th-largest lake at roughly 34 square miles, is about 25 miles long and 1.85 miles at its widest point. Clean and great for swimming, Lake Zurich’s water is actually potable when filtered.

Zurich professional football clubs are FC Zürich and Grasshopper Club Zürich, while ZSC Lions is the city’s professional hockey team. When in Zurich, keep in mind that it is walkable, with many great river and lakeside trails. As such, sneakers and a bathing suit are good to pack, especially during summer months. Zurich’s currency is the Swiss Franc, cars travel on the right-hand side and the drinking age is 18 years old. Zurich accommodations are some of Switzerland’s best. Before we get to Zurich accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

During the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, Lake Zurich’s surrounding lands naturally made for great settlement areas. The Celtic, pre-Roman, Iron Age La Tène culture settled near central Zurich’s Lindenhof hill. In 15 BC, during Roman times, a castellum, or small Roman tower, was built on Lindenhof. Turicum, a Galo-Roman settlement at Lake Zurich’s lower end, was developed to collect taxes on goods trafficked on the Limmat. Roman occupation developed from a tower to a settlement, and eventually into a vicus, or rural village. Between Lake Walen and Lake Zürich, a Roman castle and garrison formed. A 2nd-century tombstone, which references Statio Turicensis Quadragesima Galliarum, or “Zürich post for collecting the 2.5% value tax of the Galliae”, has been discovered at Lindenhof. Germanic Alemannis settled in the Swiss Plateau between the Jura Mountains and Swiss Alps circa the 5th century. Until the 7th century, the Roman castle between the lakes Walen and Zurich remained standing. In 835, however, Louis the German, grandson of Charlemagne, king of the Franks, demolished the Roman castle and built a Carolingian castle on its site. Zurich’s Fraumünster church was founded in 853 by Louis the German for his daughter Hildegard. The Catholic Order of Saint Benedict was endowed with Zürich, Uri, and Albis forest lands, and was granted immunity under Louis’ direct authority. King Henry III, in 1045, granted the Benedictine convent the right to hold markets, collect tolls and mint coins, effectively granting the abbess, or female superior of the Fraumünster abbey, rule over the city. Imperial immediacy, a privileged constitutional and political status, was given to Zurich in 1216 as a result of the House of Zähringen’s extinction. In the 1230s, a city wall was built, with Louis the German’s Carolingian castle, which had begun to fall into ruin, serving as a quarry. The Fraumünster abbess was promoted to the rank of duchess by Emperor Frederick II in 1234, at which time a mayor was nominated, and citizens were delegated to mint coins. Rudolf Brun, leader of Zurich’s 1336 guilds’ revolution and the city’s first independent mayor not nominated by the abbess, was cause for the convent’s political demise in the 14th century. Manesse Codex, a Middle High German Minnesang poetry, was commissioned by the Manesse family of Zürich during the 14th century. The Zürich massacre of 1349, allegedly as a result of Jews’ murdering and taking the blood of a Zurich man’s four year old son along with their well poisoning during the time of Black Death, resulted in about 60 Jews’ deaths by fire and their accomplices being banished from Zurich. The Swiss Confederacy, on May 1, 1351, required Zurich’s citizens to swear allegiance to the confederation, thus incorporating Zurich as the Confederacy’s fifth member alongside Lucerne, Schwyz, Uri and Unterwalden. From the Middle Ages until the establishment of the Swiss federal state in 1848, Zurich, as presiding canton, became the confederacy’s executive council and lawmaking body. The Old Zurich War of 1440, prompted by a dispute over the territory of Toggenburg, caused Zurich’s temporary expulsion from the confederacy, followed by its readmittance in 1450. Switzerland’s Protestant Reformation was started by Ulrich Zwingli during his time as the Grossmünster‘s main preacher in 1519. In 1531, Christoph Froschauer printed the Zürich Bible. Prompted by the Thirty Years’ War, a second ring of fortifications was built around the city in 1624, and in 1648 Zurich proclaimed itself a republic. Zurich lost control of land and economic privileges it had gained by way of the 1798 Helvetic Revolution and subsequent fall of the Kingdom of France’s Ancien Régime, a political and social system. Without ever having been besieged, the city’s 17th century ramparts were torn down at the end of 1839 following the Züriputsch, a putsch by the rural conservative population against the city’s liberal rule. Lindt & Sprüngli chocolate was founded in Zurich circa 1845. In 1859, the Treaty of Zurich among Austria, France and Sardinia brought the Austro-Sardinian War to an official close. During the 19th century, the city’s extensive developments included the Spanisch-Brötli-Bahn railway, the Hauptbahnhof (Zürich HB) main railway station, Bahnhofstrasse (Station Street) and the Zürich Stock Exchange. Indeed, relative to other European cities, and throughout its history, Zurich was largely unscathed by battle, though during World War II, the city was accidentally bombed by six USAAF B-24H bombers, who believed they were bombing the German city of Freiburg im Breisgau.

Not to be confused with Lake Zurich, Illinois, Zurich, Switzerland is home to over 415,000 Zürchers. Züri is Switzerland’s largest city, and also the capital of the canton of Zürich. Zürichsee is another name for Lake Zurich, which drops 446 feet at its maximum depth. Rarely, Lake Zurich freezes over, which is considered a bit of a phenomenon. Although Swiss German is the city’s official language, English is also widely spoken.  One of the world’s most livable cities, Zurich is also one of the most expensive. Low tax rates and canton funding make Zurich an attractive haven for overseas business. Switzerland’s banking epicenter, Zurich is home to guild architecture. As prostitution is legal in Switzerland, Zurich’s red-light district is located in Langstrasse. Although Zurich generally is a very safe city, the Langstrasse red-light district area does have an above-average crime rate, mostly due to drug dealing. Good to know, perhaps, is that sexting is illegal in Switzerland.  Distant, snow-capped, central Swiss Alps mountains, about 80 miles away, are visible on clear days from Züri. The city’s climate is oceanic, with four seasons. Summers are warm, with high temperatures averaging around 75 degrees Fahrenheit in July, while January winters average below freezing. Besides summer, Christmastime is also a great time to visit Zurich. Additional points of interest include Old Town, St. Peter Church, Niederdorf (nightlife district), Augustinergasse (Old Town pedestrian zone / medieval lane), Münsterhof (square / Guild houses), Münsterbrücke (pedestrian/road bridge), Paradeplatz (square), Schauspielhaus Zürich, Theater am Neumarkt, Prime Tower, University of Zurich, ETH Zurich and Swiss Institute of Technology. Popular foods include zurcher geschnetzeltes (sliced veal in gravy), alplermagronen (gratin), birchermüesli (muesli), rösti (shredded fried potatoes), burli (bread rolls), Luxemburgerl (mini-macaroons), Swiss chocolate, cheese fondue and Swiss cheese. Generally, cocktails are not extremely popular, with beer, wine, mojitos and caipirinha being the main alcoholic drinks, while non-alcoholic drinks are tea and Rivella (soda). With a little background information on the area, we’re ready for Zurich accommodations that will help make for an exciting trip.
