Zurich Travel Blogs

Finally we have arrived in Zurich! And what a difference it is compared to Geneva. Geneva airport was very up to date, even modern, in the 1960’s. Anyone who flies to Switzerland for the first time in his life should fly directly to Zurich airport. Here you are truly welcomed to Switzerland. …

The sudden drop of temperature (from what I perceived looking outside from our private cabin) and the quiet but secured uphill crawling of TrenItalia in the crevasses of this mountainous landscape of the Alps - dotted with exquisite little village houses tucked-in along the footings of sn…

Cycle holiday again. It was amazing, just like 2 years ago. Maybe even better. The weather was great, the area was beautiful and we had zero flat tires. Just incredible. I can write thousand words and more about this holiday, but I won’t do that. Just watch the photo’s, they show my holiday the…

On Thursday I then went to the Kunthaus Museum and saw Monet, Chagall and van Gogh... wow, it was amazing! At the museum, a member of staff began a conversation and told me where everything was, we were chatting for 10 minutes! Anyway, I wanted to stay for a bit longer but it was time to pick up my…

Now it all makes sense. I was really surprised at how heavy the police presence was in Switzerland. Police surrounding our hotel in Basel, a squad of riot police in Zurich blocking off streets. Each time we went to the park in Zurich we saw police give youths milling around fully body searches. Whe…

Oktoberfest, swiss alps, belgian waffles, dutch marijuana, failed suicide attempts of Phydie, a stinky train station, a medieval city, porn looking chocolates, fancy cars we will never get to have, trains, trains, and trains. Eurail tripping that surely was fun!

So yesterday I left for my whirlwind trip through Europe. Getting through Washington Dulles was a pain in the ass. I got to my gate feeling all hot and sweaty because of all the hassle I went through at check-in. To back up a bit… The flights I bought took me through Zurich on my way to Paris…

Crossed over into Switzerland on the bus and arrived at Buchs SG station 20 minutes after leaving Vaduz. Went into the station to find there was no train at 10-13, and I would have to wait until 11-05 for a train to Zurich and then another change at Schafhausen,on the Swiss/German border . Bought t…

Well it's officially over. It still seems surreal. I'm in Zurich right now because my original flight to Frankfurt was delayed indefinitely. I hate airline strikes. But I guess it's okay because now I can say I've been to Switzerland. Okay, back to being sad. I spent my last day in Florence doing …

I really don’t want any of the experiences I’ve enjoyed this year to fade to a distant memory.  It’s been all too valuable time in my life, perhaps the most significant and meaningful, all helping me to define and reshape many aspects toward life and how I want to approach things from he…
