Zurich

An Italian enclave at the very end of famous Langstrasse. Paninis in every variety. Everything in this store is a 100% Italian. The ingredients, the amazing antipasti and the songs playing from the radio. How can something so simple be so good.

Zürich might be one of the most decent but surely not the biggest place on earth. If you want to get an overview first put on your fast shoes and head up to Käferbärg, which offers a little escape into the woods and a beautiful view over the city, the lake and the incredible alps. Make sure you set out for the trip in the late afternoon to catch the golden evening sun.

Close to my studio, this little restaurant has become my go to place if I want to treat myself for lunch. Honest meals, affordable and made with love.

Escape the city and climb the little mountain overseeing Zurich. Best to bring your bike and enjoy one of the many single trails and downhill tracks down the 400 meters altitude.

A beautiful bath to dip in the lake with a little beach and a tower out in the water to climb and jump from.

Claudio the soul of Sacci Bar will take care of your needs and make sure you won’t leave town without having tasted the best Negroni or natural wines there is.

Fancy a fancy dinner? Go to Kle. You’ll eat exclusively creations you’ve never experienced before. All vegan.

A small concert venue with one of the best bookings of local and international acts.

Jump from the bridge into the cold waters of the Limmat and drift down to Obere Letten. Have a Margarita at the rooftop of Primitivo Bar whilst watching people and go to a concert in the evening at the near by Parkplatz.

Best see and to be seen place on a Sunday afternoon. Visit the lovely Cafe Bonheur or bring your own and sit around the fountain.

Best cinema in town with the latest independent films and the most charming bar to linger around.

It’s great for beginners, a beautiful place with incredible scenery. There’s hiking and skiing, and it’s a gateway to the Jungfrau region, which is home to a famous mountain. It’s honestly an exceptional area to visit.

The après-ski here is fun, and it's close, which is a plus. The Bernese Oberland is just an hour and a half away at most, making it super convenient. There are also great spas—I haven’t tried many, but I’ve heard good things.

I went there two months ago. It’s so vast, with so many different slopes and ski lifts. The food is also important! My favourite is this alpine macaroni, which is mac and cheese done the Swiss way with apple mousse. I love it.

There's a different vibe in the French part of Switzerland; people are different. Wherever you go in Switzerland, the German side, the French side, or the Italian side, there's a different vibe. You just feel like every time you’re in a different country to be honest!

Where all the fancy things happen. The rich and the famous go here. So, if you’re looking for those bougie parties, go to St Moritz, but go to Aldoborden for something local and chilled.
