It is an expensive city, even when compared to cities like New York or London. Just over 400,000 people live in Z\u00fcrich. They are part of the 1.4 million making up its metropolitan community and the 1.5 million in its Canton of Z\u00fcrich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:clamp(0.875rem, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.458), 1.15rem);line-height:1.2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"8\" height=\"2\" class=\"wp-image-55\" style=\"width: 8px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bekins.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Spacer24x8.jpg\" alt=\"\">Z\u00fcrich&#8217;s culture is unique. The high cost of living, great outdoor activities, and over two thirds of its population renting a home, are at the heart of the differences. Widely accepted local societal rules make life easier. For example, costs are predictable and the same price for everyone. Stores close on Sundays as city folks leave town to enjoy outdoor options. Balancing work and quality of life is top of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:clamp(0.875rem, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.458), 1.15rem);line-height:1.2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"8\" height=\"2\" class=\"wp-image-55\" style=\"width: 8px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bekins.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Spacer24x8.jpg\" alt=\"\">English is widely spoken, in this tourism driven country. Public interactions however are primarily in the local language NOT English. The local language is the cantons official language\u2026 German, French, Italian or Roman. There are significant local versions and differences. Swiss German is common. It is not the high German often expected. In Switzerland there are also over 3000 unique words, with unexpected definitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:clamp(0.875rem, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.458), 1.15rem);line-height:1.2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"8\" height=\"2\" class=\"wp-image-55\" style=\"width: 8px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bekins.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Spacer24x8.jpg\" alt=\"\">Remember\u2026 Vehicles used for 6 months or more are duty free.
