24 Hours In Im Klosterli, Switzerland

Im Klosterli is a small province of Zürich's, Switzerland. It truly has a homey feel with children playing hockey in the street. Although the tourists tend to gravitate to the heart of Zürich, Im Klosterli really shows the true local side of Switzerland. If you want to see how the Swiss live, while still being in close proximity to many large tourist destinations, try Im Klosterli.

Local's Food
Migros - Migros is the Co-op grocery store and deli. Owned by the united co-op of Switzerland, they specialize in their pastries and personality. Some would say their Eccl air's are "god sent", personally I prefer the plain old Swiss chocolate. Nothing can compare.
Voselr - Volselr is the best bakery in town. The bread is crisp and somehow, always warm. If you have the chance, take a walk down by Voselr as early as possible. The charming scent wafts down to the end of the block.

Local Attractions
Im Klosterli Zoo - Being a native San Diegan, I have been spoiled by our World Famous Zoo. This is a close second, if not a hearty tie. One thing to see while you are there is the spectacular eel tank. There is a volt meter above the tank that measures the charge of the volts emitted by the eels behind the glass.
