Zürich - view of Zürich city and Lake Zürich by Mark Sukhija

By: Mark Sukhija

If there's one thing Switzerland is famous for it's banking, lakes and mountains. OK - so that's three things - but Zürich has all three. This view of Zürich was taken from Käferberg - in the Zürich suburbs and affords excellent views of the city (including Switzerlands tallest building - the Prime Tower), the Lake of Zürich and the "far-off" Alps with their fine skiing. Get a fine day, and the wind blowing from the right direction, and you have a fine view over the whole city lake and alps for a quick summary of Switzerland itself.
