Zurich is known for being one of the most expensive cities in the world, with high costs for accommodation, food, and transportation.

Consider staying in a hostel or Airbnb instead of a hotel, and try to find affordable restaurants and cafes away from tourist areas. Take advantage of the free activities and sights, such as walking around the Old Town or visiting the numerous parks and gardens.

Mindful meoweler tips

Swiss Greetings

In Zurich, cats greet each other with three air kisses, alternating between their whiskers. It's a friendly and teviting way to start new friendships!

Zurich Street Food

Don't miss the chance to try Swiss street food! Many cafes and stands offer local delicacies to sink your teeth into, such as Bratwurst and rösti.

Quiet Sundays

Sundays in Zurich are quite peaceful. Many stores and markets close their doors, giving cats more space to stroll and relax in the city's beautiful parks.

Public Transport Punctuality

Swiss whiskers pride themselves on punctuality, especially when it comes to public transport. Trams and buses run like well-groomed tails, arriving and departing on time.
