Hertz Car Rental in Zurich
Zurich is a city in the north of Switzerland, roughly midway between Basel in the west and St Gallen in the east. It’s only 15 miles south of the border with Germany and stands on the river Limmat at the northern end of Lake Zurich. If you rent a car in Zurich you’ll be easily able to tour this compact and well-ordered city. It is renowned as a centre for finance but there’s plenty for visitors to see and do too. Drivers will note that three motorways pass close to Zurich, giving handy quick access to the rest of the country.
With a car rental it’s easy to find another side to this world-famous banking centre. Start at the historic old town on Lindenhof Hill, which rises on the west bank of the Limmat River. It’s full of old protected buildings and monuments including some quirky shops and restaurants too. Other highlights of the city include the Kunsthaus Museum of Fine Arts and the Swizz National Museum. The Zurich Zoo is very popular: it has 300 different species to see including a daily parade of penguins. And for a relaxing break from sightseeing, why not take a traditional paddle-steamer cruise on the lake?
