The Resources that inspired & Taught us
Hello, dear explorer and inquisitive guest. We cordially invite you to delve into the inner workings of our blog writing, tour curation, and city guide crafting. Our meticulously researched sources encompass a broad spectrum of mediums, ranging from literature to online resources to esteemed experts. To maintain the natural flow and readability of our content, we opted not to explicitly reference our sources within our work.
An (almost) complete list of consulted resources
Resources
Creating a book, article, museum exhibit, or workshop requires dedication and time. At this point, we would like to express gratitude towards the resources that facilitated our deeper comprehension of the essence of Zurich and Switzerland.
Although I have endeavored to acknowledge all the materials and resources, the internet is vast and complex, and I might have overlooked some. I present them in no particular sequence.
