Zurich is Switzerland's financial center, and one of its busiest areas. The city welcomes around 3 million visitors annually. Many of those visitors travel to the city on business, but much more travel to the region to experience the city's high-end culture and scenery.
The most popular time to visit Zurich is summer. Switzerland's high altitude makes its summers relatively mild and pleasant. However, travel to Zurich (and Switzerland as a whole) in the winter is also popular because of the region's many excellent ski resorts.
