ZURICH

A short train ride takes you from Winterthur and its university campus to Zurich, the largest city in Switzerland. The canton of Zurich, to which Winterthur belongs, is home to about 1.5 million people and is one of Europe’s wealthiest and economically strongest areas. Zurich regularly ranks among the top most liveable cities in the world and has so much to offer in terms of sightseeing, shopping, culture, and nightlife.

The primary language spoken here is “Züritüütsch,” a Swiss-German dialect. All locals understand German, however, and many also understand and speak English and French.
