Zurich is a nice city, not very big but charming, especially the old town where you can find bars and restaurants. Good party culture, a lot of different clubs. A lot if different things to do and other cities like the capital (Bern) are within a 1 hour train ride.

As a local there, I can say that I almost never carry cash with me. This has not been a problem for a very long time, except for parking and maybe some few ice cream and hot marroni stands.
