Bright and fresh. This tasteful family apartment is full of natural light and furnished to a very high standard with a fully equipped kitchen and romantic garden.

Zürich, Switzerland
Lakefront living and circus fun
For a captivating city with outdoor opportunities, historic towers and some really special cake shops, look no further. First stop: the lake. In summer you can swim in open air pools and the lake itself; in winter the scenery itself is worth the walk. Circus culture is very popular in Switzerland and the city’s circus schools are a fun way to try it out - Kinderzirkus is a popular choice. Kinder City, Zürich Zoo and Trampolino are further ways to entertain the kids, rain or shine.
