I've been to Zurich once before. I'd be happy to take another look at the Sprungli shop...but I'll be coming with 2 friends who keep kosher...
So...
- is it really practical to go to town on such a short transit?
- the sites you mentioned, are they within walking distance from the train station?
- Sprungli...any idea if some of the merchandise is kosher?

Many thanks!
