Most tourists will visit Holy Cow to get their fondue, but we recommend this place. It's been running for decades, and still offers the best Moitié-Moitié (a tasty variety of fondue) in town.

A predominantly gay bar, great if you want to start drinking early. People come here after work and are very sociable, so it's easy to meet new friends. The music is often great (live DJ) but there's no space to dance.

Arts & Culture
You probably read about all the other museums in your tour guide. But this one is great, because it's a) usually free b) exhibits upcoming local artists. And because Zurich's art scene is VERY alive, you will see amazing talent here.
