Zurich is the most expensive city in one of the most expensive Countries in Europe. Here are some tips so you can get by without going broke.
One of Zurich´s bargains--if you can call a 110 dollar a night double room a bargain. The room is large and you can get one with a kitchen for a few bucks more. The breakfast is great and it's in a good location. There are no signs on the hotel, so you´ll have to go at it by following the directions on the website.
2. Internet Access is Right in the Central Train Station
You´ll find a cybercafe right in the train station. 10 minutes will cost you 2.5 Swiss Francs. You get three print outs free for each ten minutes you´re online.
3. Eat A Lot! Smorgashboard at the Train Station
And you can get it cheaper on Monday nights, when the tariff goes down to 42 Swiss Francs.
4. Eat Well - Restaurant Barometer
At Glockengasse 15 has innovative French Cuisine. Dinner with great appetisers and a bottle of good wine will run you a steep 100 bucks, but in Zurich, that´s a good deal.
5. Get to your hotel from the airport - Take the Train
From the airport the train takes you to the center of town quickly and easily. We made it to our hotel (walking) within an hour of touchdown.
If you want the best on the water, try them. It´ll set you back 260-430 bucks for a double though.
