Zurich is known for its stunning natural beauty, vibrant culture, and of course its famous chocolate and fondue.

He also takes a stroll through the charming Old Town, stopping to marvel at the impressive Grossmünster church and other historical landmarks.
But it's not all about sightseeing and snacking. Richard also meets up with locals to participate in some unconventional activities. He takes part in a public speaking exercise, where he must deliver a speech while balancing on a slackline high above the city. He also tries his hand at curling, a popular Swiss pastime that involves sliding stones across ice and aiming for a target.
Throughout his travels, Richard stays in some unique and luxurious accommodations. He checks into the Dolder Grand hotel, a stunning five-star resort situated in the hills overlooking Zurich. The hotel boasts a spa, multiple restaurants, and even a classic car collection.
As always, Richard's quick wit and dry humor keeps viewers entertained throughout the episode. His commentary on local customs and cuisine is both informative and amusing. Whether he's indulging in fondue or scaling a slackline, Richard never fails to immerse himself fully in the local culture.
