As well as being the home of many headquarters of leading international companies, Switzerland’s largest city is also a major contemporary art and shopping destination. Augustinergasse is one of Zurich’s most beautiful old, narrow streets with its many colourfully painted oriel windows; it connects bustling Bahnhofstrasse with the St Peterhofstatt ‘oasis’ in the picturesque Old Town.
