Hostels in Zurich
Zurich has been settled in some form for 7,000 years. After the fall of Rome, it was governed by a powerful abbess and today has significant influence in the financial world. It is colloquially referred to as “Downtown Switzerland” most likely because of its essential role in the Swiss economy and government. If you are looking to find
hotel or
hostel accommodation while in Zurich, look in district 1, commonly known as Altstadt. This is where the old city used to be and is where you will find Lindenhof—the old site of the Zurich Roman Castle and later the Carolingian Imperial Palace, the Grossmunster, Franmunster and St. Peter’s Cathedral. The city of Zurich is considered to have one of the highest standards of living and is one of the healthiest places to live in Europe. It is no wonder that hotels and hostels are usually difficult to secure.
Living like the Swiss
One of the reasons the Swiss live so long and so healthily could be hidden in their homes, so what better way to experience Switzerland than in an
apartment in Zurich. Not only will you get advice on how to live better but you may just pick up on some of the great things to do in the city and the easiest way to get there on their public transport. Rather than booking a hostel, book accommodation with
Wimdu. Via Wimdu you can browse the listings of home and apartment owners in Zurich, finding the ideal place. With our easy access to photos and reviews from past guests it couldn’t be simpler. Wimdu too offers this service worldwide, in diverse destinations, including,

With all these reasons to check out Wimdu, it is a wonder anyone still stays in a hostel.
