Amsterdam - Paris - Geneva - Zurich

You can do a lot in 10 days, depending on what kind of pace you're comfortable with. But there's a lot to absorb just in Amsterdam and Paris (and there are separate ILE threads on those two places). If you want a destination between those two, I suggest somewhere in Belgium - either Bruges (Brugge) or Brussels.

Also...October is a great (read: cheap) time to travel. Consider saving your frequent flyer miles and just buying a cheap round-trip ticket. For example, you can find round-trip tickets to London in the Fall for $200-$300. With 100,000 F.F. miles, you could probably go to Australia for free (and those tickets aren't cheap).

Peeps I have an afternoon/evening to kill in Zurich solo. Have to get up super early tmrw morning though, so nothing crazy. Any recommendations?

Since the weather's so beautiful, stroll along the river / lake ? Alternatively you could go to Kreis 5 (Industrie Quartier / Hardbbrücke), shop on Viaduktstrasse, and have a drink at the end of the day at Frau Gerold's Garten.

I've been to Zurich a few times for gigs and I've always struggled to find things to do/see beforehand or the next day. The shopping streets around Oberdorfstrasse in the old town are worth a potter. If rare books are your thing there's a good antiquarian bookshop called EOS Benz that I really like, not cheap though. There's the Cabaret Voltaire of course but there's not much to see there, it's basically just a café. You'd have thought it would be some kind of Dada museum but it's not.

The Museum Reitberg in Zurich is well worth visiting for Indian and South East Asian art.

Thank yous!
