If you think Zurich is boring, then try coming around this time as people party all the way till 5 am.  Seriously, I've been in this city several times and I find that shops close early, etc, but this weekend, there were so many people, both locals and tourists walking around the city till wee hours of the morning. Also, there are fireworks every night! Amazing!!! The concerts The fireworks The shops/ street fair
