It's worth starting to explore the city with the Old Town that represents the streets maze. They can be easily explored on foot. Along the riverside you can find baroque guildhouses and a myriad of small boutiques, antique shops, bars and pavement cafes.
Near the main train station ("Hauptbahnhof") is situated the large shopping area. Its artery is the famous "Bahnhofstrasse"- one of the most beautiful shopping streets in Europe. Here you will find everything your heart desire: all sorts of elegant boutiques, department stores and shops with a rich selection of high quality goods.
It's misleading to think that if you are on a budget there's nothing to do in Zürich. Go to the Niederdorf that offers lots of cheaper places to buy, eat and drink.
Even with its halo of being a business centre and a shopping paradise, there are many cultural sites in Zürich: the ‘Grossmünster' and the 'Fraumünster' remarkable old churches with stained glass windows by Marc Chagall; art galleries featuring the finest collections, amongst them Chagall, Miro and Picasso and museums for all sorts of tastes.
Logically enough after all that was said there are no cheap accommodations and hotels in Zürich. But there is plenty of choice and high chances to find something in your price range.
This site will help you to get your head on the best pillow in the city for the best possible price.
