Zurich in winter

>>1187601
>But for the other 3-4 days, would there be much to do/see?

Plenty of museums, the one I would recommend are:
>Kunsthaus (art gallery)
>Swisss National Museum (swiss history and shit)
>Natural historical and Medical historical museum (free, located at the University)
Plenty of smaller art museums depending on your taste...

If you don't mind to take the train about 30min away is
>Technorama Winterthur
Science and how stuff works broken down to a ELI5 level with experiments still very suitable for adults if you ever wanted to play with a tesla coil and other stuff.

and 1h away:
>Verkehrshaus Luzern, Lucerne
Trains, cars, planes, and everything
https://www.verkehrshaus.ch/en

The Zoo is pretty good, a cruise on lake Zurich to Rapperswil is always great (about 2h) and many more. If you have any specific interests just ask...

> is there usually snow at the end of January over there?
There could be. Anything from deeply covered in snow to it looks like early spring is possible due to the Föhn.

giving it a bump.

Thanks for the bump anon but I'm mostly convinced lol

Only thing I'd actually want to ask extra:

any recommendations for quiet café's? Like the type where it's not too loud or crowded, where you can have a coffee/beer and a snack maybe and read after a long day's walk?

If you've never been to Switzerland, be prepared for the price of shit, and you aren't even going to scenic Switzerland, fuck off and go to Prague if you don't want a Normie city, Zurich is a very Normie American feeling city

If you want good Swiss towns, try adelboden, i lived there for a couple months and I loved every second of it, thats true Switzerland right there

Got any better pictures of it?
Also why did you move there? I'd love to live there myself but it's kinda risky moving there without any gf or relatives there.

I'm not that much into cafés. I know Konditorei Schober is pretty comfy and has nice patisserie else most stuff that pops up are some lounge/bar mixes. Up till 20:00-22:00 they're relaxed lounges and after that become a bar/club.

Also if you want to go for a beer or stuff drop me a line here:

Yeah it is, but Swiss people are super fucking kind man, and I had a pretty good job that my company moved me too. but yeah you don't even know, Swiss people are the shit. They had a family that let me celebrate Christmas with them

The reason? I said that I had not celebrated Christmas since i left home, the father looked freaked out and insisted I joined him, one of the best christmas' I've had

As long as you talk to people, it's not bad, also adelboden is very small

pic is town on a normal day, sunshine is kinda rare

Don't really have a lot of pictures of the town, they're mostly videos, but here is another one

prettyyyyy

unfortunately I wasted too much time wondering what to do, so everything is now too expensive for my itty bitty savings

but by now I'm convinced I'll got this winter, probably more like in February

didn't really expect it to be _this_ expensive tho...

>>1190317
I'll definitely drop you a line when I go! thanks for the contact anon

>why are people on /trv/ so nice sometimes wtf

>>1191361
yeah bro, those pictures were from when i got there in June, february is fucking miserable and a lot of the trains are down, try for March

and if you want cheaper shit, try the Czech Republic, shit is crazy cheap, i'm talking steak dinner with all the fixins and 3 beers for $12 usd

Dafaq is wrong with you.
Hold your phone horizontally.

>>1192222
yeah i do, but all my pictures don't want to go straight, idk what the fucking problem is

>>1192270
You're posting from a iPhone 6 or 7. 4chan strips the exif and that's the only way your phone identifies in which way the pic was taken.

I'm living in Zurich now, will try answer everything for you I can.
>Time
Five days in Zurich is too much. Honestly, the city is small. As in you need 30 minutes at most to get from one part to the opposite with public transport. So everything that is an "attraction" here can be done in 4 days rather.

>Museums
The official Swiss museum here (opposite the main train station) sucks hard. I'm not being cynical here but it really does. I love museums and have been to a few already but this one is so boring. The problem is that the Swiss people didn't do shit historically speaking. No wars, empires, etc. There are plenty of art museums.

>Snow
Right now it's about 0 degrees but no snow in sight. Honestly the chances of snow in January are 50/50. So if you're expecting your picture to be reality you might be disappointed.

>Money
I hope you have enough saved. This place is expensive.

Kafi für dich, near Langstrasse area. Very chilled, nice wooden furniture, quiet music, tasty sandwiches. I regularly go there to read.
