« So, this is how we met in Zurich. Not the best weather for discovering Switzerland, right? 😒 But what can you do? You wanted a winter wonderland, huh? In January? The snowy mountain peaks just aren’t showing up! Instead, heavy rain is drenching you! Strong winds sweeping everything along their path! You’ve got a whole day for a stroll around the city? Well, that's how it is. It's still enchanting. 😍 Little streets, colorful houses. Just like I love. And even against the grey backdrop, it doesn't take away the charm. It feels romantic... and magical. True, it can be a bit gloomy sometimes, but that adds character. Instead of 10 hours on the slopes, you’re lucky if you get a bright hour or two. 🙈 You have to make the most of it. The sights are incredibly beautiful and you might not see so many people (especially tourists) around so early... the city is just waking up... and it has its own special charm. But that’s a completely different story. 😉

« So lucky with the weather — warm and sunny. That explains the crowds around, there are no free spots on the promenade :-) »

« Here's a sunny Zurich. Feels like spring is just around the corner. It's 65°F outside, people are strolling in flip-flops and t-shirts. Meanwhile, some are in fur coats and UGGs. It's such a quirky mix all year round! ☀️👟🧥 »
