What a beautiful place. It also looks like it could be the cleanest major city I've ever seen.

Outstanding photos, so were you like the only black person there. Where are the black folks. :shrug:

Actually, Zürich does have a couple handfuls of Africans. Tina Turner has a home there also. That's about it.

Good friggin' god almighty mother of heaven - do you actually have anything resembling a normal life, or do you spend all your time jet-setting around the world taking pictures of cities?

:???:

Beautiful photos. If Soulbrotha saw this, he'd change his mind and say that Zurich would be Halle Berry ;)

All the Swiss cities are a pleasure to see!

[TexasRules777]

great pictures - Zurich is more twee than I thought... I find some of these Swiss/ Austrian cities a bit too squeaky clean for my tastes, but they are undenialy beautiful.

[JivecitySTL]

it looks like Cedar Rapids.

[keninhalifax]

Wonderful city! Thank you very much, ColDayMan, for making my morning with these photographs.

[Okstate]

Outside France, U.K and The Netherlands, no many european countries have a large black population.
London or Paris have more black people than any european country. :)

[vjhe]

Lovely...simply lovely.

ChrisLa, it is so funny because as I was gawking at the photos, I was wondering where the black people were? I think my question has been answered. :)

^ LOL!

Really, I didn't see that many blacks (moreso a few Africans) in Switzerland but I did see a decent amount in Milan. I didn't see ANY in Frankfurt. Paris and London had definately the most I've seen in Europe.

[Boris]

Now that's one clean city.

[Sekkle]

Yeah I think my mom was taken back at how many blacks folks she seen in London and Paris. One thing for sure blacks folks I encountered were pretty much the same. I remember this guard staring at me when I was taking pictures in Chelsea neighborhood in London. I just gave him the 'whats up' nod and he let his defense down, nodded back, and smiled. He knew I was a brother at that point, as we all know thats a universal language. Black folks were cool in London, and very classy.

Paris on the other hand, they were a bit more standoff-ish, and talk about booshie. :rolleyes:

[Austinlee]

I'm gonna have to be the voice of dissent here and say, no thanks... It looks VERY pretty but it also looks very relaxed and village-y.

Cities need some level of urban chaos to feel exciting...

Also, I imagine the high income levels there make it feel like a whole city of upper class priviledge... I'm just guessing on that one, but I hate neighborhoods that have a snooty feel, even if no one in particular is rude to you, some places just have that uncomfortable feeling of unacceptance.

It's Switzerland, silly. These are the folks who specialize in making precision watches and in keeping secret bank accounts. It just wouldn't be Switzerland if it weren't neat and orderly - and rich. ;)

[James Bond Agent 007]

And anyway, there was a bit of graffiti. It's not that neat and tidy. ;)

Fantastic. Looks like a very bike-friendly city. These photos leave me even more convinced that the absence of visual and physical demarcations between car and pedestrian space forces drivers to slow down and be more careful.

Ironically, I don't know a black person (other than coworkers) in America that I would consider a 'friend', but my two best friends in Europe are both black. One is Martiniquaise-Parisienne and the other is from SW London but his parents are Ghanaian.

Great pics, city seems nice, but lacks diversity I like to see in cities. Looks like a place with too many older people, barely see youth on the pics.

[giallo]

Gorgeous pictures. I'd love to explore ever nook of that joint.

[staff]

Cities need some level of urban chaos to feel exciting...
Seriously, Zürich puts most North American cities to shame when it comes to urbanity, density and "chaos".

As for diversity;
...30.0% of the registered inhabitants of Zürich do not hold Swiss citizenship...
...and the percentage of foreign born inhabitants is probably quite a bit higher. That said, I don't know how many of those who are black...


Great photos! :)

Great photos! :)

I think a lot of the foreign born are Serbo-Croatian, as well as German and French. I read that Serbo-Croatian is much more prevalent than CH's fourth official language Romansch.

Zurich does put most North American cities to shame in those regards, but it is what it is - there aren't many places in the US that have Switzerland's type of terrain to support the narrow valleys that naturally condense people into smaller places. The fastest growing city in the EU is Toulouse, and it's a relatively flat, sprawling city outside of its old center.
