Really? Why Zurich? I've been there and while it is pleasant, it doesn't have the wow factor of Rio or Vancouver for first time visitors
I never travelled to Vancouver.
And as I am brazilian, these landscapes such as from Rio and a lot of other coastal cities in Brazil are not surprising. Zurich has a calm lake landscape and it's close to the Alps. For my taste, a natural scenery causing a sensation of peace and relaxation is better than the "wow factor".
To me the Top 3 metropolises of the world in natural beauty are Rio, Cape Town and Sydney. Rio being by far the champion. Vancouver and Honolulu not match them.

Maybe you'd like Vancouver then. We have several lakes within the greater city limits and some have said it looks a bit like Switzerland.

Which do you think is nicer Vancouver or Cape Town?
Sydney is nice IMO but there are no mountains nearby.

There are literally thousands upon thousands of lakes of all sizes in Canada.
In regards to Switzerland, there is a view in Vancouver from Stanley Park looking over the ocean that reminds one of Geneva.
The first photoI posted is of Alouette Lake, the second photo is taken from UBC ( University of British Columbia)
I never travelled to Canada due to lack of opportunities, but it appears to be a really amazing country. The only landscape which I recognise about Canada is the Moraine Lake.
