A serendipitous meeting in 1996 led to Stefanie Harig and Marc Ullrich's first collection of press photos. The creators celebrate and share their passion for art with a well-curated portfolio of photographic artwork by established and emerging artists as well as historical chronicles and autographed original pieces. The four-storied establishment is the first of the LUMAS brand to hit the Swiss art scene after making its mark in Paris, London, New York and Germany. The minimalistic space is punctuated by a thought-provoking and awe-inspiring repertoire that is a result of globe-spanning travels and are available at affordable prices.

Zurich's most remote partner town is the Chinese town of Kunming. Of course real partners mutually support one another; Limmatstadt helped the southern Chinese in the upgrading of their water supply and in a sort of return gesture they sent their best master gardeners to Zurich with the job of creating an imperial garden. This very traditional garden, opened in autumn 1993, operates under the name Three Friends in Winter. This name comes from its pine trees, winter cherry and bamboo, which are fit to withstand the winter temperatures. Artfully placed ponds, small bridges, rolling hills and attractive pavilions lend it an exotic sense of peace and tranquility. It is hardly surprising that this park receives some 43,000 visitors annually. This park, situated at the end of the Zürich Horn is open to public. Dates may vary so please check the website for more details.

The horn represents the south end of the sprawling park that leads out of Zürich's city center, along the Zürichsee. A river delta formed by the Hornbach stream, the landscape has evolved tremendously over the years into what is today a recreational hub. In summer, boat rides can be availed to the right bank of the lake for stunning views of the Alps towering over the verdant scenery. The park has a weather-permitting open-air cinema and is very popular among locals. At its end you'll find the sea-side swimming pool, Strandbad Tiefenbrunnen. Don't skip a stroll on the China Garden, a famous gift from Zürich's twin city Kunming, on location.

Dedicated to the lifeline of Zurich's public transport system, the Tram Museum is a testimony of the city's urban development through the times.

Witness tram cars built in the 20th Century, including the oldest vehicle dating back to 1897, as well as engines, authentic uniforms, ticket machines and model layouts. Take home unique postcards and souvenirs, along with a guaranteed memorable experience.

Originally established in 1878, the Museum of Design in Zürich was evolved from the city's pre-existing Museum of Arts and Crafts, which was founded in 1875. A magnificent celebration of architecture, industrial design, visual communication, and craft, the museum is a repository of over 500,000 objects which attest to the very genesis of design. An integral part of the Zurich University of Design, the museum plays host to an array of insightful tours and exhibitions which revolve around the greater, as well as the intricate nuances of design and visual art. The Museum of Design hosts five to seven exhibitions throughout the year, as well as several smaller lobby-exhibitions, which are both, diverse and inclusive in terms of color, concept and methodology. Although the museum's graphics collection has been around since its conception, the poster collection comprises the most pieces, numbering well over 300,000. Focusing extensively on the four prime disciplines of design, posters, graphics and applied art, the museum has come to be much revered, both locally and globally.

Nestled in the sprawling Swiss Plateau, the majestic Üetliberg mountain affords an awe-inspiring panorama. An integral piece of the Albis chain, this mighty mount towers over Zurich's charming roofed houses, playing an ideal vantage point to look across Lake Zurich, the Alps, and Zurich's cityscape in all its glory. Its forested fabric is crisscrossed by hiking trails, mountain bike paths as well as the extensive Planet Trail. 'Zurich's very own mountain' is further dotted with jubilant water fountains, campsites, and hotels and is an outdoor wonder par excellence. This mountain also offers views of the majestic, rolling expanse of the Limmat Valley. Bursting at the seams with diverse flora like the wild garlic come spring, this mountain is a naturalist's dream and an adventurer's wonderland. During winter, the snow-capped range is ideal for skiing and sledding, making Üetliberg a top destination for both summer and winter sports enthusiasts.

The Swiss artist Bruno Weber has made his own fantasy come true here. This sculptor makes larger than life, colorful animals which you can climb on, walk through, slide off, sit on and live in as well! The park is full of creatures which look as if they stepped straight out of a fairytale. Bruno Weber desired to share his fabulous artwork with the world and thus opened his vineyard to the public. You will find some of Weber's works on top of the Uetliberg.

Flanked by verdant hills, the majestic Lake Zurich spans the cantons of Zürich, St. Gallen and Schwyz. The lake is bridged by the Seedamm at the point where it narrows, diving Lake Zurich into two distinct parts. Carved out by the ambling Linth River, this enormous lake is fringed by vineyards, orchards and splendid alpine hillocks. Myriad cruise ships ply its shimmering, blue-green waters, making it an ideal tourist destination replete with opportunities for adventure. Along its banks lie a wide variety of lake-view restaurants where patrons can relish 'Fischknusperli', a dish made using fish straight from the lake's depths. In addition, Lake Zurich is a popular windsurfing destination, and several idyllic hiking and biking trails wind around its perimeter. Particularly on public holidays, the lake is swarmed by boats and its banks with strolling people.
