Visit Reinfall. You may even wish to take a coach to go to Germany to Blackforest to eat the pork nuckle.

As for watch shop, sorry not too sure. I suppose if you go to the city or town in Zurich, should be able to find Bucherer. The well-known AD in Switzerland. I bought my Rolex from Bucherer. But take note, buying Rolex watches in Switzerland not really good deal. But I am not sure other brands. You need to do some homework first like check local price and see how good the exchange rate and discounts. The usual VAT is the only one you can claim, consider as "discounts". Hope this help.

hi there, u should take a look at bucherer in zurich.

I just got an explorer 2 there and the price is approx 14% off as compared to RRP in singapore on most models (after rebate). However that is because the exchange rate was approx 1.25 then, if its 1.3 i doubt that it will be any cheaper

Thanks for the tips, been to Zurich a few times but didn't have time go around, this trip I got 3 days to spare, will be staying at Bahnhofstrasse, near the main train station.

OK place i can visit,

1. Reinfall - what to see?
2. Blackforest - pork nuckle
3. Bucherer - see watch


Swiss Alps?
Any scenic place?

Thanks!

the must do at the Rhine falls will be taking a small boat that go right next to it, spectacular..
opt for the day tour, abt usd 50, or you can actually take the train there yourself... take one station further, walk along the river, pp actually swim upstream... join the queue for the icecream b4 embarking on the boat

You can take a train to for a day trip to Lucern, Bern etc. Within Zurich, you can take a boat ride on the lake area. Very scenic. There is also a walking trail that you can book at the tourism information counter. I remember there is a church there with nice stained glasses by a famous artist (can't remember the name).
