Rechberggarten Zurich
Daydreaming
Rechberggarten is just a stone's throw from the medieval Neumarkt area, but it took me a while to sneak behind its richly decorated gate. What a discovery! A splendidly lush garden was waiting to be explored...
As one of Zurich's Baroque jewels, its neatly shaped box trees and flower bed radiate some serious King of the Sun vibes! Whether you're a cloud gazer seeking a peaceful spot for reflection or looking for the perfect bench to watch the sunset with your special someone, this garden has it all — it's the kind of place where you can easily lose track of time.

Weisses Kreuz – Local food, local people
"Weisses Kreuz" in Zurich isn't fancy - it's probably what some people would call an 'old man's pub', but what other pub has a 'Stammtisch' for regulars?
