Zurich

This beautiful city in the German-speaking part of Switzerland is a feast for the senses. As your private air charter jet touches down at the country’s largest international airport, you’ll only be 20 minutes away from the city centre.

Unload your bags in a superior suite at Hotel Dolder Grand, luxurious, spacious, and with a personal butler and limousine on hand round-the-clock. Complete with stunning views over Lake Zurich and the Swiss Alps.

Alternatively, why not make a former brewery your home at the B2 Hotel, boutique accommodation on the site of the former Hürlimann factory. Opt for the luxury suites and customise your stay in advance with a games box or yoga basket.

Out in the city head to the Old Town, with its narrow streets, ancient buildings and quirky shops. You’ll also find your fair share of cosy bars and cafes and of course, fondue restaurants.

But for something a little special try Ornellaia, an elegant Italian restaurant set in a former bank building and with a Michelin star to its name. Flavour-packed dishes are prepared in the open kitchen and served in the decidedly Tuscan ambience of the high-ceilinged dining room.

For a post-dinner aperitif, there’s no better spot than the Grieder Bar, this leafy bar is found in the heart of the city distinguished by its white parasols dotting the terrace and comfortable seating.

During the day, hop on board a flat-bottom boat at Limmatschifffahrt and take a one-hour tour or for a more exclusive tourist attraction hire a guide for a private fondue and wine tour of the city.

For an afternoon spent in nature, take a private tour of the natural wonders of the area, including a tour around a glacial lake, discovering beautiful flowers and with lunch and drinks included.

Finally, take a private tour of the famous Lindt chocolate factory sampling the country’s finest sweet creations and taking home some tasty souvenirs.

When it comes to the best time of year to visit, the city lies in a temperate climate zone and has four distinct seasons. In winter, the temperature plummets and the city attracts thousands of tourists for the beginning of the ski season. Many resorts are less than 90-minutes away, making Zurich the perfect snowy destination.

But if you’re not a skiing fan, the near-freezing temperatures make spring or summer a much more attractive time of year to visit.

From April onwards the temperature begins to steadily climb and by July can hit over 30/86 degrees, but with plenty of opportunities for an outdoor dip, you’ll find plenty of places to cool off.

Whatever time of year you take your charter a flight to Zurich, you’ll find a city steeped in culture and fun waiting for you. Home to a truly international community and with the food to match, your next visit is just a private air charter flight away.
