Shopping is the one true must-do in Zurich. It's home to BAHNHOFSTRASSE which is known as one of the most exclusive streets in the world, and the country's watches and chocolates are world-famous. Almost everything is expensive, but since you'll spend quite some time shopping you'll surely be tempted to get something and may even end up finding a decent deal. Below are the places to head to first.

FASHIONS


Bally
Visit the world's largest shop of the famous Swiss chain which carries the entire shoes collection together with men's and women's accessories.

Fidelio Shop, Zurich Fidelio
You'll find all kinds of styles and labels at this boutique, one of the best in Zurich. The city's most fashionable people look for their Comme des Garçons and Paul Smith here, in a very simple space created to make the clothing stand out.

LOCAL CREATIONS


Einzigart
The best of Swiss design is on display at this shop/showroom created to promote and sell the most imaginative creations in the country. In addition to selling the products, it hosts exhibitions and meetings related to Swiss design.

Sprüngli
Obviously you never leave Switzerland without getting some chocolates. The Zurich shops of this famous brand are true temples to chocolate, with the one in Paradeplatz including a café and a restaurant. Other locations include Bahnhofstrasse and Löwenplatz.

Teuscher
In addition to handmade truffles, this shop sells seasonal treats such as chocolate flowers for spring and chocolate chestnuts for the fall. There are also sugar-free, additive-free, and preservative-free chocolates at both the Bahnhofstrasse shop and at the main one on Storchengasse 9.

Chäs Vreneli
This could very well be Switzerland's cheesiest shop. You'll fall in love with the fine stinky cheeses that are made by experts and distributed around the world, made in several shapes and with a variety of flavors.

Meister Silber
For the perfect gift, head to Paradeplatz for this upscale shop selling a comprehensive range of jewelry made of exquisite gemstones and pearls. They are not cheap but you'll find the prices quite reasonable considering the quality, fine design, and the fact that everything is handcrafted.

Schweizer Heimatwerk
Find the most innovative and exclusive gifts at this shop founded in 1930 but selling contemporary, high-quality products. There's a charming selection of wooden folk toys, but also traditional and modern Swiss crafts with unique designs.

Bucherer
Zurich's number one product is its watches. You'll find countless stores displaying the art of Swiss watchmaking, but this is the best place to look for your favorite. It's been making luxury watches since 1888, and there's also an outstanding jewelry collection.

ONE-STOP SHOPPING


Grieder
If the weather isn't allowing you much window-shopping on the streets, head to this department store, offering designer fashions, accessories, and leather goods. The prices are high but everything is very well selected. Be sure to look for the Swiss-made shoes for both men and women.
