Novotel Zurich City West

Zurich is not Switzerland's capital city, but it is Switzerland's largest city (and my current home). Here you will find Switzerland's main airport and train station. Zurich is known for being a hub to international banking, worldwide businesses, and transportation. Located on the northern end of Lake Zurich, this city is both urban and chic, as well as quaint and peaceful, providing the perfect balance and a great place to visit.

This is the trip my family of 4 (including 10 & 12 year old kids) took this past summer. The children had been to Europe before at 4 & 6 and the oldest had also been as a toddler. Both parents have been multiple times. We enjoy fast paced travel but generally prefer to go to smaller cities or towns. We trained between Zurich-Paris, Paris-Brussels, and Edinburgh-London. We flew from Brussels-London. We rented 4 different cars and drove everywhere else.
