2. FIFA World Football Museum

What better place to learn about Europe’s most popular sport than where the headquarters of the Federation Internationale de Football Association, otherwise known as FIFA, is located?

Opened in 2016, the FIFA World Football Museum takes visitors on a journey through the sport’s history with over 1,000 exhibits, photographs, and texts. It certainly doesn’t hurt that entry is free when you use your Zurich Museum Card.

If you don’t have one, it’s no problem! A ticket will cost you CHF 24 (just over $24) and can be purchased online by clicking here. It makes for a great rainy day activity!

Address: Seestrasse 27, 8002 Zurich, Switzerland

Hours: 10am-6pm. Closed on Mondays, so plan ahead!

3. Restaurant Le Dezaley

Add a hearty portion of Emmenthaler cheese to a moderately aged Gruyère, melt it down, put together a plate of charcuterie, and what do you get? One heck of a meal!

Tucked away in Zurich’s old town, Le Dezaley has been serving up some of the best Swiss dishes in all of the city since opening its doors in 1903, but there’s one main reason to visit: the fondue.

Despite feeling as though you’ve uncovered a hidden gem, the consensus is that the chefs at Le Dezaley do fondue better than anyone else around, so your safest bet to ensure access is to reserve a table ahead of time which, conveniently enough, can be done online by clicking here.

Wherever you choose to go, devouring cheese fondue is a must-do during your time in Zurich! Bonus points if you can say “Swiss dish” ten times fast.

Address: Romergasse 7-9, 8001 Zurich

Hours: 11:30am - 2:30pm, 6:00pm - 12:00am, closed on Sundays
