As far as romantic destinations go, Zürich isn't exactly the most popular on the list. As the industrial hub of Switzerland, one of the world's wealthiest countries, this city is more prominent for its big business and big money. It's not that well-known as a suitable place for couples to get all lovey-dovey. But nevertheless, that doesn't mean that you can't feel the love in Zürich. On the contrary, there are few spots within this busy metropolis where you and your special someone can go on a romantic date. Here are five that you'll surely want to consider visiting!
Mühlesteg Bridge
Just like the famous Pont des Arts in
Paris, Mühlesteg Bridge serves as Zürich's own 'lover's bridge.' Couples from all around the world 'lock their love' here, leaving behind a padlock hanging on the railings. Fortunately, however, there aren't as many locks here on Mühlesteg Bridge as there are on its Parisian counterpart, which means there's no risk of having everything removed for safety reasons. Of course, when you get here, you'll want to 'lock your love' with your special someone as well, adding more locks to the bridge. For now, at least, there's no problem if you do it!

Altstadt
There's just something so romantic about the 'Old Town' districts in Europe, isn't there? Take Altstadt, one of the most popular
neighborhoods in Zürich, for instance. Thanks to the old-world charm of its timbered homes, colorful houses, and cobblestone streets, you can almost imagine all the love stories that this place has seen. Not to mention the storybook appeal of the 'Old Town,' reminding you of tales of princesses & knights, fairies, and all that fantasy. The most romantic spot in Altstadt, however, is the old fountain in the public square. Often decorated with flowers, it's the fairytale-like spot that's perfect for a romantic moment!
