Where can I meet other singles in this city?
In general - like in most big cities – one way to meet people is to enjoy the nightlife on offer. A popular place is the old town (Niederdorf) that boasts a wide array of pubs, bars, cafes and restaurants. You will also find many interesting eateries along the Bahnhostrasse or Bellevue.

You can meet other English-speaking expats in Zurich by going to any of the popular pubs: the Oliver Twist, the Bonny Prince, James Joyce or the Colonial.
