Have you been planning to visit the Swiss capital for a long time and now want to download your city map here? Then you should google again for a more extensive map of Switzerland and look for the city of Bern. Zurich is the largest city in the country, but not the main city. It is often said that the city has 415.000 souls. However, when it comes to the city’s heritage, it could be described as “capital” in many respects. On Tripadvisor it is even mentioned by the “Alpine noble metropolis" spoken. Now a good overview is useful for efficient sightseeing.
The best thing to do now is to get a city map with sights. If you take a look at the App Store, many will delight you with claims that they are the best app for your Zurich. Honestly, they can all do the same thing. They are cumbersome digital copies of travel guides that you find yourself scrolling through. This can be done with Google even without an app. We explain how to use Google offline HERE.
Paper city map instead of digital scrolling
