Picture: The city flag of Zurich. Zurich (German: Zürich, French: Zurich, in English generally Zurich) is the largest city in Switzerland and the capital of the canton of Zurich. The city is Switzerland's main commercial and cultural centre and sometimes called the Cultural Capital of Switzerland, the political capital of Switzerland being Berne. It's quite like Montreal (Montreal Travel), which is the cultural capital of Quebec, while the real capital is Quebec City. Zurich can be counted as one of the world's preeminent global cities. According to several surveys from 2006 to 2008, Zurich was named the city with the best quality of life in the world as well as the wealthiest city in Europe. [Source: Wikipedia]
