Zurich, Switzerland

From 2006 to 2008, surveys named Zurich the city with the best quality of life. It's also the wealthiest city in Europe. Qatar Airways flew Star2 to Switzerland to see some its tourist highlights. First stop, the Museum Of Fine Art. Then to Lake Zurich to feed the ducks and watch a show at the floating theatre.

In Zurich West, the city's industrial area, don't be surprised to see a cargo train trundling on a busy street and stopping with the cars at traffic lights. Thirty minutes out of the city is Rhein Falls, the biggest waterfall in Europe. Seven minutes away is the village of Marthalen where farmhouses from the 14th century still stand.

Just 2km away from Zurich is Davos. Every year, world leaders and politicians come here to wheel and deal. The mountain resort also boasts some awesome views and skiing slopes. For some peace and quiet, head to the village Sertig – population: 20. It's an ideal retreat for long hikes with a view of the Swiss Alps,.
