This weekend you should head ↑↑↑ to the rooftops, terraces and courtyards of the city as it’s my very own Rooftop Day. Scroll ↓↓↓ to find out more. World politics is also very exciting with a general election taking place in the UK. Will they move to the ☜ or will the follow the lead of the French and move to the ☞. Who can say?

Rooftop day is here and this years edition has the added spice of Swiss Football team reaching the quarter finals of Euro 2024. Why not start the day with some Rooftop Yoga at 25 Hours Hotel or enjoy the peace of the morning from the top of the Paulskirche in Milchbuck? Head to the ETH where they will be opening the rooftop terrace especially for moi? Afterwards take your pick with loads of aperos and parties all over the city. Don’t forget your sunscreen, take loads of pictures and post them with the tag @ronorpzrh, and have a great time.

It’s starting to, (finally,) feel a lot like summer and, like the magnolias, the ice cream parlours of the cities have opened and bloomed. And what is better than a delicious «gelati» on a hot summers day?

But you don’t want to waste valuable calories searching for these delicious treats so i’ve listed my 17 favourite gelaterias for you. Buon Appetito.
