Switzerland



I got this beautiful aerial view from a postcrossing meeting that took part in Zurich a few days ago. I hope you guys had fun!

Zurich is the largest city in Switzerland with the population of app. 390,000. It is located in north-central Switzerland at the northwestern tip of Lake Zurich. Zurich is a leading global city and among the world's largest financial centres. The city is home to a large number of financial institutions and banking giants. Also, most of the research and development centres are concentrated in Zurich and the low rate of tax attracts overseas companies to set up their headquarters there.

Zurich was also ranked in 2012 first on a list of the top 25 cities in the world "to make a base within". According to several surveys from 2006 to 2008, Zurich was named the city with the best quality of life in the world as well as the wealthiest city in Europe. Seems like an amazing place to live in, or at least to visit!
