Luksuzna bajka koju zaslužuјеtе

A luxury fairy tale that you deserve

Cirih je finansijska prestonica Švajcarske i naj - veći grad ove zemlje iako, kao što znate, nije glavni, jer ta čast pripada Bernu. Čak 30 odsto njegovih stanovnika su stranci, a kad govorimo o zanimljivostima, treba reći da je ovaj grad po -

Zurich is Switzerland’s financial capital and largest city, though it’s not the country’s capi - tal city, as you know, with that honour belon- ging to Bern. A whopping 30 per cent of its re - sidents are foreigners, and while we’re on the

nosni vlasnik najvećeg cr - kvenog sata – većeg čak i od Big Bena! Smešten u srcu Starog gra - da, na Crkvi Svetog Petra, sat je postavljen na toranj 1366. godine i vekovima je služio kao standard za vre - me u Cirihu. S prečnikom od 8,64 metra, još uvek je broj jedan među evropskim cr - kvenim časovnicima. Specifično za Cirih je i da ima više od 1.200 fontana. Tačno je, Rim ih ima mno - go više, ali ove ciriške su je - dinstvene zbog toga što je voda u njima odlična za pi - ce. Slobodno utolite žeđ na svakom ćošku ovoga grada koji ima vodu daleko čuve - nu po kvalitetu. Još jedna zanimljiva činje - nica je da je u Cirihu rođen jedan od prvih modernih globalnih umetničkih pokre - ta 20. veka, isprovociran po - sledicama Prvog svetskog rata i tadašnjim društvenim vrednostima. Umetnici oku - pljeni u kabareu „Volter“ u samom srcu grada stvori - li su dadaizam, pokret isto -

topic of interesting facts, it should be noted that this city is proud to be home to the largest church clock, with a clock face that’s even bigger than those of Big Ben! Located at the heart of the Old Town, the clock was installed on the tower of St. Peter’s Church back in 1366 and has for centuries served as the standard for Zurich time. With a diame - ter of 8.64 metres, it rema - ins number one among the church clocks of Europe. Zurich is also specific in that it is home to more than 1,200 fountains. It’s true that Rome has many more, but the fountains of Zuri - ch are unique because their water is great for drinking. Feel free to quench your thirst in every corner of this city, with water that’s re- nowned far and wide for its exceptional quality. Another interesting fact is that Zurich is the birthpla - ce of one of the first mo - dern, global art movements

of the 20 th century, which was developed in re - action to the outbreak of World War I and the social values of the time. Artists gathered to - gether at the Cabaret Voltaire, situated in the very heart of the city, created Dadaism as both an art and protest movement that would go on to spread like wildfire across Europe, wi - th some suggesting that it led to the emergen - ce of both surrealism and postmodernism. If you travel there now and the temperature

vremeno umetnički i protestni, koji će se poput požara proširiti Evropom, a neki kažu i dovesti do pojave nadrealizma i postmoderne. Ako sad putujete, a temperatura padne ispod nule, imaćete priliku i da uživate u nečemu sasvim drugačijem. Svratite do zoološkog vr - ta i, ako budete imali sreće, videćete preslat - ke carske pingvine koje čuvari, po takvom vre - menu, izvode u šetnju. Evo šta biste još mogli da iskusite...

Kada je reč o divnim alpskim pejzažima i neobičnim selima kao iz bajke, teško je pobediti Švajcarsku When it comes to beautiful alpine scenery and unusual, fairytale-like villages, Switzerland is tough to beat
