Sherman's Travel

The classic European city of Zürich has quite an artistic flare, with more than 100 art galleries and museums. Although visiting individual museums can be considerably expensive, the Hotel Opera is offering a tempting package until December 31 that will allow guests to save a good chunk of change. The deal starts from $206/night (including service, VAT, and city tax), and includes accommodations in one of the hotel’s 62 rooms, complimentary breakfast, a guided backstage tour of Zürich’s Opera House, a three-course dinner at the hotel’s restaurant, as well as a 24-hour ZürichCARD, which allows guests to use the city’s public transportation and visit over 37 museums and attractions, all free of charge. The card also grants guests a free welcome drink in over 18 restaurants, a 50 percent discount on a guided walking tour of the old town, and reduced fees at the city’s zoo, Asia spa, and car rentals.
