What Makes Zürich a Romantic City?

February 15, 2023
2023-02-15
Out of all the amazing cities in Europe, Zürich would probably be the last one you'd think of when it comes to romance. Places like Paris, Rome, and Barcelona all proudly boast the “City of Love” moniker in one way or another. But Zürich? As the central hub for business, finance, and commerce in Switzerland, romance seems far from its priority. Nevertheless, there's still something romantic about the city. Perhaps it's the A? Or B? What about C, too? In any case, these and more prove that Zürich is just as suitable for the title of a “City of Love” as all those famous destinations.

Travel Back in Time

Let's face it: any Old Town district will always feel romantic. It's the nostalgia, the old-world charm, and the storybook appeal all rolled into one. More often than not, exploring the Old Town district is the first thing couples do in any European city. Zürich is no exception. Alstadt is one of the most popular districts in Zürich. From the cobblestone streets to lakeside houses, you can't help but be enchanted by it all. Then you get to the flower-lined public square and you'd swear you've seen this place in a storybook somewhere! Perhaps even a Disney film or two!

Especially not with its luxurious spa, excellent dining, and more. It's no wonder this place is one of the most romantic spots in Zürich!
