Description

Watch the usually reserved Swiss let their hair down and go wild as the Swiss National Day storms into Zurich. The city becomes one big party zone that kicks off with a huge parade through the city, beginning at Werdmühleplatz in the morning and heading towards the Bürkliplatz. Watch the Swiss go absolutely nuts and join in the fun yourself, with traditional folk dancing, music, local beer and of course the Swiss' pride and joy - their food - springing up in stalls across the city. Stuff yourself with Swiss chocolate and fondue before attempting a traditional jig.
