With a population of some 363,000 inhabitants Zurich is the
largest city in Switzerland. It is located in the heart of Europe and is easily
accessible by plane, train and car. Situated 409 meters (1340 ft)
above sea level, Zurich borders the northern end of the Lake of Zurich. Its
well-preserved Old Town is located on both banks of the River Limmat. The
highest point of the city is called Uetliberg/Uto Kulm; 871 meters
(2857 ft) above sea level. It is accessible by train or a one-hour hike
and allows a beautiful view over the lake and the Swiss alps.

Zurich has a temperate climate, but often enjoys the warm,
moisture-laden winds blowing from the Atlantic ocean. This results in a milder
climate than its northern latitude of 47° might suggest. Temperatures in
July range between 15°C and 30°C (59°F and 86°F).
