Zurich

I'm going to be in Zurich for a few days next month. Mostly working, but I will have two full days to myself. Well, maybe one and a half as I fly there on the morning of the first day.

So what I'd love to know is where are the best places to visit during the day? I don't have any free time in the evenings, and I'm not interested in nightlife.

I like the countryside and walking, but I don't want to go too far out of town as I have to be back for 6pm each day. I'd like to see any interesting sights in Zurich or the area - old churches, castles, city walls, ruins, stuff like that. One of my evenings will be spent on a lake cruise, so I don't need to do that during the day.

I'm not bothered about art galleries, museums or shopping. I'd like to buy a Swiss Army watch, and some chocolate but I'm guessing that will be as easy as walking around the shopping area (or the airport!)

Any other advice much appreciated. What's cheap, what's expensive, anything I should avoid?

Thanks!

We like culture (classical music, indie music, opera, theatre), eating out, skiing, hillwalking, sports, beautiful architecture, playing in musical groups. Is Zurich going to be suited to us?
Also, is it possible to commute to Wettingen?
Thankyou

1. Can I rent a wheel chair, at the airport, for two weeks, for my daughter who is slightly handicapped ? I would like to carry it around in Switzerland and return it when we leave from Zurich airport. How much will this cost ?

2. Are there any concessions available for the handicapped in Switzerland ? If so, what are they ?

I hear that Switzerland has the most developed and organized travel system, but I cannot seem to figure out public transportation from the Zurich airport to Leysin. I would be open to a shuttle service or train or.. anything really. Help!
