The Zurich Issue

After the streets of New York, Holiday magazine dives into the secrets of Zurich.

Tyler Brulé describes his adopted city to Dan Thawley, the legendary restaurant Kronenhalle opens its doors for a rare and marvelous visit, the novelist Avril Bénard offers us a brand-new tale inspired by her journey to Switzerland, the photographer Walter Pfeiffer and the filmmaker Christoph Schaub open up to Christopher Niquet and Renata Mosci, Paul-Henry Bizon recounts the saga of the unique Museum Rietberg, and Violaine Epitalon spells out the ABCs of the Dada movement, which was born in Zurich.

What's more, the city's inhabitants themselves speak out on their views of their hometown and, as always, we offer our ideas for the perfect week there.

We also look at this place of whispers, elegance with a blade and revolutions through the eye of the camera.

Senta Simond offers us a portfolio documenting her local friends, Liv Liberg captures the allure of Zurich women styled by Imruh Asha, and Drew Vickers that of the homegrown model Vivienne Rohner. Other photographic studies of the city present the visions of Olivier Kervern, François Halard, Lina Scheynius, Felipe Romero Beltrán, Hart Lëshkina, Federico Torra, Harry Crowder, Yann Faucher, Tess Petronio, Deo Suveera and Pamela Dimitrov.

Last but not least, we also explore the archives of Walter Pfeiffer and present selections of works by the painter Ferdinand Hodler and the photographer Karlheinz Weinberger. Willkommen in Zürich.
