In this episode of his series on Swiss mores, David Castello-Lopes heads to Zurich to investigate – in his own inimitable style – why the city is such a show-off. What he finds there are world-beating universities, venerable banking institutions, and wealthy people living happy lives… is it any wonder Zurich is so pleased with itself?

This programme by Swiss broadcaster SRG SSR is part of the European Collection, a joint initiative from European public service media (ARD, ARTE, France Télévisions, SRG SSR, RTBF and ZDF), coordinated by ARTE.
