In order to deal with the mountainous regions and snowy weather (if visiting in winter), a 4-wheel drive car is a wise choice. When driving around in Zurich a lot, opt for a compact car, as parking spots can be hard to come by and many streets are narrow.
All speed limits in Zurich are given in kilometers per hour. The general regulations allow up to 50 km/h (31 mph) in residential, built-up areas and 80 km/h (49 mph) outside residential areas. Expressways allow up to 100 km/h (62 mph) and on the freeway there is a maximum speed limit of 120 km/h (74 mph). Speed always has to be adapted to weather conditions.
Parking inside the city can be an exhausting undertaking and, if your hotel does not have a parking space included, it is not advised to seek parking inside. Many parking spots are reserved for residents and metered parking is very expensive. Find one of the P+Rs in the outskirts of the city and travel into Zurich with public transport, or opt for one of the city garages.
