The Zürich Zoo is one of the best zoos in Europe, and is located outside of the city on the Zürichberg. The zoo aims to build a bridge between humans and animals. Its motto is “If you understand animals, you will protect them.” It is located on a slope, and guests will notice an incline throughout the zoo. Thanks to wide, paved streets, however, it doesn’t pose a problem for visitors. Pathways lead through the different habitats of the zoo’s roughly 4,000 animals. In the newly opened elephant enclosure, for instance, visitors can view the elephants through a glass window as they swim, or watch them eat through a glass floor. Even in bad weather, visitors won’t be disappointed - many of the animal facilities are heated. The large park grounds house three restaurants and a cafe, with a self-service restaurant, “Masoala,” in the rain forest hall of the same name.
