Zurich
Zurich is Switzerland’s largest city and a major cultural and economic hub. Located at the tip of Lake Zurich and surrounded by gentle hills, it has a history dating back to Roman times, when it was known as Turicum. Its Old Town (Altstadt) reflects centuries of growth, with medieval lanes, guild houses, and notable churches such as the Grossmünster and Fraumünster.
Modern Zurich blends historic charm with contemporary architecture, lakeside promenades, and creative districts like Zürich-West. The city offers an exceptional quality of life, with numerous museums, restaurants, and outdoor spaces. Highly walkable and supported by an efficient network of trams, buses, boats, and trains, Zurich is easy to explore and well connected to the surrounding region.
Baden
Baden is a historic spa town in the canton of Aargau, about 25 km from Zurich. Known since Roman times as Aquae Helveticae, it has long been famous for its thermal springs. Its compact Old Town features narrow alleys, traditional buildings, and landmarks such as the Stadtturm and the Kurpark’s historic spa facilities.
Industrial development in the 19th and 20th centuries, led by Brown, Boveri & Cie (now part of ABB), shaped the town’s modern character. Today, Baden combines its spa heritage with a lively cultural scene, including theaters, museums, and riverside paths. With excellent public transport links, it offers easy access to Zurich and the wider region.
