Welcome to our VOX Cultural Digest, Issue N.20!
Switzerland was lovely this spring and we want to give you the opportunity to experience more of it in the summer and practise speaking foreign languages at the same time. There are endless things to do in Zurich with plenty of events and festivals happening around town. We’ve put together some of the top highlights from June. These include exhibitions, guided tours, food & drink and so much more.
