This picturesque city is the hidden capital of culinary tourism in Europe

For foodies, this Alpine town should be a must-visit at least once in your life.

Zurich does not often appear in the ratings of tourist places worth visiting. Perhaps due to the fact that this is not a budget holiday destination at all. However, this does not negate all the tourist attractions of this Swiss city, which, among other things, is known for its unsurpassed restaurants, writes Express.

Zurich is one of the top five places for culinary tourism. There are 57 five-star restaurants for every taste and 10 other culinary tourist attractions. In Zurich, you can try six national Swiss dishes, although the average price of a meal for two will be quite noticeable – about $ 130.

Zurich’s Old Town has a traditional medieval charm for this part of Europe. And it is here that most of the city’s cultural attractions are concentrated, as well as places where you can eat delicious food.

Even if you are passing through the city, you should try the main local delicacies – fondue and raclette. Tourism experts also recommend dishes like rösti (crispy fried potatoes) and Zürcher Geschnetzeltes (sliced veal in cream sauce).
