SWITZERLAND ~ Zurich ~

... More lovely sights of the international metropolis of Switzerland... a vibrant and culturally rich city... with the most important highlights ranging from historical spots and natural escapes to food and shopping havens... surrounded by spectacular nature and the nearby Alps... Zurich is recognised as the city with the highest living standard in the world...  more than once, its inhabitants were also titled the happiest people on the planet... it is Europe’s richest city and with a low tax rate, the perfect place for businesses to base themselves... Thanks a lot Ben and Loes!ヽ(•‿•)ノ
Almost 2 million people call Zurich home. The Swiss city was founded by the Romans around 2,000 years ago although evidence of earlier settlements has been found.

During the Middle Ages, Zürich gained the independent and privileged status of imperial immediacy and, in 1519, became a primary centre of the Protestant Reformation in Europe under the leadership of Huldrych Zwingli.
