Where to drive from Zurich
The Swiss don't like pollution, which makes cars a little less popular, but outside of the city you're encouraged to explore the incredible countryside and driving is easy.
Situated on the nearby Zürichberg (mountain), the Zoo Dolder boasts over 350 species (about 2500 animals in all), making it one of Europe's most important. Its location is stunning, with fantastic walks into the forest behind the grounds.
Switzerland is famous for its chocolate, and even the most diet conscience never leave without sampling the local mouth-watering options available in specially dedicated shops all over the country. The Lindt and Sprüngli chocolate factory is mandatory for all sweet tooth fans. It's located a few kilometers south of the city centre and has a wonderful free museum (with free chocolate!). Not surprisingly it's popular and therefore subject to occasional closure.
Simply driving along Lake Zurich and admiring the fantastic Swiss country scenery is an exhilarating experience, and there are many small villages along the shoreline of Lake Zurich to stop in and stroll around.
Uetliberg is a popular excursion out of Zürich. It's a curious attraction based on the planets in our solar system - presented as an outdoors exhibition. The mountain ridge on which it's located offers spectacular views.
