Take a gentle stroll through the narrow alleys of the Fischerviertel (Fishermen's Quarter). You'll be able to enjoy picturesque views of the charming old town, and head to one of the nearby restaurants.

At 162 metres, Ulmer Münster is the tallest church in the world. Climb the staircase to the viewing platform for panoramic views of the city.

Housed in an strikingly modern, block building with a glass front, the Kunsthalle is a private collection owned by Siegfried and Jutta Weishaupt. You'll find works by the luminaries of modern art including Mark Rothko, Andy Warhol and Josef Albers, which are displayed in thematic exhibitions.

Treat yourself to an unforgettable experience by watching the Wiener Staatsoper (Vienna State Opera) perform at the Vienna Operahouse. The stunning building hosts 40-minute tours, and of course you can take a look at the schedule and book tickets to a show while you’re in the city. 

A popular and historic café frequented by Freud and Trotsky, Café Central is the embodiment of Vienna's coffee house culture. Enjoy an Apfelstrudel while admiring the majestic interiors and listening to the strains of piano music.

Pay a visit to the Schönbrunn Palace. The Habsburg’s residence’s huge size has to be seen to be believed; the building contains over 1440 rooms! The adjoining classical gardens are just as impressive.

Pay a visit to a football-lover's heaven, the FIFA World Football Museum. Even those who are less than mad about the beautiful game will find plenty to keep them entertained among the interactive exhibits and events.

For a wonderful way to see the city, take to the water. Head out on a boat trip on Zürichsee, the city's namesake lake, or a flat bottomed boat tour of Limmat river from Landesmuseum station.

Get lost in infinity or dance on the ceiling at the museum of immersive optical illusions. One of Zürich's zaniest attractions, the WOW Museum will appeal to kids of all ages (and adults young at heart).
