A true world favourite among global travellers, Switzerland, for many reasons, resonates particularly
strongly with Indians. Many sight the banners of RK Studios and Yash Raj Films and the swathe of Bollywood
movies from the 80s onwards to be the source of Swiss popularity. The movie connection makes
for a strong argument, but it’s also very hard to ignore Switzerland’s extraordinary package
of Alpine mountains, green hilly pastures and calm lakes coupled with a national obsession for perfection. Zurich,
its fi nancial and commercial capital, is a star. Vibrant yet idyllic, the city is an appealing juxtaposition
of history and modernity. Old Town, with its cobblestoned streets and historic churches, is a
medieval pop-up book come alive. Zurich-West, on the other hand, boasts contemporary architecture and
cosmopolitan restaurants. If you want to make the best of both worlds during your dream vacation, pick
a central location, like Park Hyatt Zurich, which is fringed by art museums, fi ne dining eateries and the Zurich Opera House. ▪PARK HYATT ZURICH | SWITZERLAND
