Switzerland's largest city sits at the northern tip of Lake Zurich, where the Limmat runs out through the old town. About 441,000 people live in the municipality and 1.45 million in the urban area, working in banking, insurance and a tech sector anchored by ETH and Google's large engineering offices. S-Bahn and trams make a car pointless, the airport is about 12 km away, and direct trains from the main station reach Germany, Austria, Italy and France. Summer life moves to the river and lake baths, and the Street Parade takes over the shoreline each August. Coworking is easy to find, but flats are not, because the rental market is very tight.
