Zurich has one of the world's best public transport systems. As a traveler from Sweden, you will recognize the punctuality, but the efficiency here is in a class of its own. Within the city, trams are the primary mode of transport, and they cover almost every corner. Buy a Zurich Card for unlimited access to trains, buses, and cable cars. It is significantly cheaper than buying single tickets. The city is also very walkable, especially in the historic parts of the Altstadt.

Zurich is one of the world's safest cities, often safer than most major Swedish cities. Crime is very low, but as in all tourist-heavy areas, you should keep an eye on your belongings at the central station. A common 'trap' is the high prices at restaurants directly on Bahnhofstrasse; just go a few blocks away for better prices. Be aware that drinking water in the hundreds of fountains around the city is free and of the highest quality, so do not buy expensive bottled water. When looking for cheap flights to Zurich Switzerland, you should also be wary of exchange offices with high fees; instead, use ATMs linked to major banks for the best rate.

Swiss people value politeness and punctuality highly. Just like in Sweden, it is important to be on time, but here you are expected to be on site exactly to the minute. When greeting in social contexts, three kisses on the cheek are standard, but a firm handshake is sufficient at first. In shops and restaurants, it is customary to greet with a 'Grüezi'. Sundays are days of rest when most shops are closed, so plan your shopping accordingly. Swiss people are also very environmentally conscious, so be careful with waste sorting if you stay in an apartment. Talking loudly on a mobile phone on the train is often seen as impolite, so keep the noise level down to blend in like a local.

This is where the real social life in Zurich takes place.
