2 Week Itinerary for Switzerland

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.
