A weekend in Zürich

Stayed an extra day after Microsoft AI Tour Zürich to actually see the city instead of a conference centre.

What I did

  • Friday morning — coffee at a tiny place near Niederdorf, then a slow walk along the Limmat to the lake.
  • AfternoonKunsthaus Zürich. The Giacometti room is worth a flight on its own.
  • Evening — dinner with the MS Zürich team (the real reason to come back).
  • Saturday — early lake walk before the city wakes up, then the IC train back to Berlin.

Notes for next time

  • Stay near the lake, not the Hauptbahnhof. The walk into town is the city’s best feature.
  • The 9-uhr-pass equivalent in CH is worth checking before you book point-to-point.
  • Bring layers — even in late April, the water is honest with you.

Photos

(Coming — once I edit them. The light off the lake at 7am ruined me for any other city for about 48 hours.)
