While the racing is bound to be exciting as the championship fight is coming to a close, there are a variety of activities to do in the city. We will take a look at the best hotels, restaurants, and tourist attractions in the city of Zurich, Switzerland.

The circuit is located on a beautiful lakefront right next to the Arboretum which is a 49 acres botanical public park. It works its way through the old portion of the city towards the stunning Enge harbour. Being in the heart of Zurich gives fans a variety of options for activities during the weekend.

The Zurich Opera House, FIFA World Football Museum, Lake Zurich, and the iconic Grossmünster Cathedral are just a few of the engaging tourist activities. Zurich may not be the most exciting city in the world, but the views and racing will undoubtedly make up for it.

As far as hotels go, there are multiple luxury and bargain options to fit your style. The Baur au Lac is a luxury five-star hotel with a beautiful view overlooking the lake. If 173-year-old empire hotels aren’t your forte, you can always go for the more reasonable Sheraton or Marriott.

Like any great city, there is no shortage of restaurants. The Lindenhofkeller offers luxury dining with a ‘lengthy wine list’, for all you wine connoisseurs. That being said, we are bigger fans of McDonald’s. There are in fact six McDonald’s located in the relative area of the ePrix. No need to worry about the ice cream machine breaking if there are six options, but who are we kidding they will all break anyway.

Hopefully, you enjoyed this extraordinarily informative guide to the streets of Zurich. Let us know if you will be attending the Zurich ePrix. We want to see how the McDonald’s tastes.
