<h5 style="text-align: center;">Bahnhofstrasse Bliss</h5>
Bahnhofstrasse, one of the world's most exclusive shopping avenues, is a haven for luxury shoppers. This mile-long street is lined with only the very best boutiques. One could grab that Birkin en route to Swiss (naturally!) luxury watchmakers Patek Philippe and Rolex. Strolling down Bahnhofstrasse is an experience in itself with its elegant storefronts and the promise of discovering the latest in fashion and luxury goods.

<h5 style="text-align: center;">Culinary Delights, Quirky Caf&eacute;s</h5>
Z&uuml;rich's culinary scene is as diverse as it is refined. For a taste of&nbsp;contemporary and international flavors, visit the city's quirky caf&eacute;s and gourmet restaurants.&nbsp;The Caf&eacute; &amp;&nbsp;Conditorei&nbsp;1842&nbsp;looks straight out of a fairy tale with its charming interior and array of pastries and legendary hot chocolate.&nbsp;Marguita, meanwhile, is a charming restaurant&nbsp;housed in the luxurious 5-star&nbsp;Baur&nbsp;au Lac hotel and&nbsp;located right&nbsp;on the edge of&nbsp;Lake Geneva&nbsp;with an inspired Mediterranean menu.

<h5 style="text-align: center;">Savour Swiss Wine</h5>
A short drive or train ride from Z&uuml;rich, H&ouml;cklistein Winery is a great introduction to Switzerland's burgeoning wine culture. Located near the lake, this family-owned winery produces some of the region's finest wines and a visit includes a tour of the vineyards and a tasting of their wines. Swiss wine is not widely available outside of Switzerland and this is an exceptional opportunity to savour and bring home a fine vintage or two!

<h5 style="text-align: center;">The Heart of the Matter</h5>
Z&uuml;rich&rsquo;s central location makes it an ideal base for exploring Switzerland.&nbsp;A must-visit in the Summer months between April and October is Insel Ufenau, Lake Z&uuml;rich&rsquo;s largest island. This protected nature reserve is a peaceful retreat from the city and visitors can explore the historic Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, dating back to the 12th century. The Abbey Village of Einsiedeln, meanwhile, is home to the famous Benedictine monastery that dates back to the 10th century. Its opulent interior and the Black Madonna statue provide an extraordinary draw while the village itself is a picturesque blend of independent shops and caf&eacute;s, perfect for a relaxed afternoon or to partake in activities such as Airboarding in Summer, or cheese-making at the nearby dairy.
