    Really enjoy your channel.
    I just came back from Switzerland 2 weeks ago. Wow! I can’t believe it’s been 2 weeks already. Spent my week in Zurich and traveled by train to places like Geneve, Luzern, Lauterbrunnen, Vevey, Bern, and some other small towns. Went to Jungfraujoch, Lindt Home of Chocolate, and also to the Chaplin residence / museum.
    While in Zurich I actually went to many of the places you mention here (though not into too many shops).
    One of my favorite things was just grabbing some local food and sitting along the banks of Lake Zurich for dinner at 9pm, while feeding the ducks and swans.
    What a beautiful country.

    I love your video! Thank you! I'm from NYC/NJ area and I will have 3 hours in Zurich this spring---first time in your beautiful country! Will I have enough time to walk from Zurich HB to Fraumunster, Grossmunster and back? I would love to try Hitl but I'm afraid I might need to go back to the airport sooner.

    • @Alpenwild
      @Alpenwild  ปีที่แล้ว

      If you had three solid hours, and started from Zurich HB (Main train station) you could walk down Bahnhofstrasse, up to Lindenhof Park, on to Fraumuster (step inside to see the Marc Chagall windows) across the bridge to the Grossmunster (you could even climb the bell tower) and return to Zurich HB, either on foot or by tram. If you move quickly, you might even have time to pop into a chocolate shop. Zurich is very compact and walkable. Enjoy your trip to Zurich.

      There is a train station in the Zurich Airport. You'll take the escalators down a level and there is great signage toward the train platforms.

    • @Alpenwild
      @Alpenwild  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      There is a train station at Zurich Airport with trains leaving every 15 mnutes or so to Zurich HB (main station). It's just an 11-minute train ride to put you in the heart of Zurich.

    • @Alpenwild
      @Alpenwild  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Everything suggested in the video would just about fill a 5 hour layover once you leave the airport and return in time for security and check in. If you have some extra time do some Bahnhofstrasse shopping, visit a few of the premier chocolatiers, or go to the National Museum. It's all within easy walking distance from Zurich main station.

      @Alpenwild  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@ramonlovo6148 In Zurich, we recommend the Hotel St. Gotthard and the Hotel Townhouse which are both very close to the train station and both very nice. The Hotel Townhouse is a smaller 3-star boutique hotel and the Hotel St. Gotthard is a 4-star hotel with air conditioning. Since we made this video, a new attraction in Zurich has opened near Zurich called the "Lindt Home of Chocolate". It's a 10-minute bus ride from downtown and has a 9-meter tall chocolate fountain, a great tour, and taste-testing throughout.

    Great video. Are there walking tours available (~1-2 hours in length) that people can join (not prebooked), like one might find in other European cities? just to see the highlights and get a lay of the land. Thx

    • @Alpenwild
      @Alpenwild  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, there are guided walking tours of the old city, Free Walking tours, and self-guided walking tours. In less than two hours you can do a great loop walk, starting at the main station (Zurich HB) walk through the old town, across the river, to the Munster, and back to the station. A map and suggestions are available at the tourism office in the main station.

      Absolutely agree with you. Unfortunately - many people who are new to the production of videos - or even in lecturing groups - forget - that the topic they present is why people watch the video. Unless the content catches his interest within 15 seconds, it's over. There is no faster way to lose the audience than by acting like a circus clown on a coffin overdose. (google - "elevator pitch")
