- Cover, Girl Several bars and clubs charge admission fees (from $10 to $25!). Carry some cash with you!

Home to this year's EuroPride, Zurich is the prom queen of Europe! It's got great genes (commanding historic buildings to sublime aqua-marine rivers and lake), has a reputation (unbeatable cheese, chocolate and watches) and gets around (public transportation is like clockwork).
