Personally, I don't think Zurich is boring. But if you do get bored, all you have to do is hop on a train and you can get just about anywhere in Switzerland in under 3 hours. So much to explore - so many customs and traditions to take-in. I love when they bring the cows down from the mountains in the fall. The festival in Appenzell is fun. The men and women that lead the cows down dress in traditional costumes. There's music, food, dancing.
