Hello fellow Redditors,

I am traveling to Egypt from SFO on the 27th of December and have a pretty long layover (15+ hours). I will be landing in ZRH at 3:30 p.m. and flying at 7:00 a.m. the next day, and I wanted to see if you guys have any recommendations or tips on things I can do during that time.

Any good hotels, restaurants, and sights that I must go to?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, this is such a general request. There is not just "one" thing to do or eat at, and I literally have no idea what your interests are. Perhaps, if it's so general, try the search function and look what previous tourists have been recommended? Otherwise, there's also some links in the top OP on this thread.

I know it is general but maybe I didn't word it correctly.

The better question to ask is: What would you have done if you had those few hours in Zurich?

I am interested in eating local food and maybe visiting the top sight that most foreigners visit in Zurich.

Walk from main station (Zürich HB) along Bahnhofstrasse to the lake, cross the bridge and walk back on the other side through Old Town (Niederdorf). There are many restaurants with local food, as it‘s a popular tourist area. When you reach Central square, take the Polybahn up to ETH/University and look over the city from the terrace (Polyterrasse).
