Zurich blends the old and the new in a manner that makes the combination seem natural. The city with its narrow winding streets is delightful and compact: its streetcars make it easy to get most places of interest to tourists. The Old Town area of the city is most enjoyable, but you may want to spend some time shopping on the Bahnhofstrasse or exploring one of Zurich's fine museums. Be sure to see the Schipfe (fine arts area), the Fraumünster Church, the Zurich Opera House and, of course, Lake Zurich.
Switzerland's Glacier Express train between St. Moritz or Chur and the Zermatt (or the reverse) is an unsurpassed rail ride through the Alps and some of Switzerland's most scenic vistas. The ride takes 7 1/2 hours, crosses 291 bridges, 91 tunnels and is breathtaking. Since the ride takes the entire day, you will need reservations at your destination. Only the first class cars are "panoramic", featuring large windows and very comfortable seating. First class is worth the extra cost. Meals are available in the Dining Car, but reservations must be made in advance of the trip (there are not enough seats to accommodate all passengers). Snack and drinks are available from the Railbar.

Go on a boat ride on the lake of Zurich or take the train to the Uetliberg (spectacular view of the city and very good restaurant). Stroll around the old part of the city.
