Zürich - skyline by night

The spires of Fraumünster , Grossmünster and St Peters Church span the river Limmat in central Zürich and are lit every night for this scene.

Sadly, Zürich lacks the charm of more popular spots such as Lucerne (an hour away) - and doesn't warrant more than a day or two in itself - but it is a handy base for exploring the region including the historic old town of Rapperswil and Einsiedeln
