The 9 Best Things to Do When Exploring Zürich

Whether you're ready to chow down on traditional cuisine or take a crack at the brightly colored eggs you'll find throughout the city, make sure to pack your appetite when visiting Zürich. This is one phenomenal place to indulge in some serious feasting.

If you love a good carb-fest, don't leave without trying Rosti. Although this famous potato dish originated as a farmer's breakfast in Bern, it can now be found all across Switzerland. Thinly grated potatoes, pan-fried until crisp and golden — what's not to love? And the beloved beer hall known as Zeughauskeller claims to serve some of the best!

Another delicious dish to try is the Swiss fondue. Translating to "melted" in French, fondue is indelibly woven into Switzerland's heritage, too. Not only is it a must have for any newcomer, but local residents adore this dish just as much. A big communal pot of melted cheese? Yes, please!
