If I had 24 hours in Switzerland I'd personally take the direct train part way to Milan and explore somewhere much better than Zurich. A lot of the direct trains from Zurich to Milan stop in Bellinzona & Lugano. Zurich is a modern banking city and not very telling of what Switzerland has to offer.

Hi Sharon
Visit Bahnofstrasse in Zurich for shopping! There are really many nice shops there. Niederdorf is also worth a visit. The museums depend on what you like. Here is an overview: https://www.kulturzueri.ch/en/exhibitions/

Have a great trip!

I fully second kho: the 3 medieval castles of Bellinzona, Lake Maggioere and Lake Lugano are really beautiful. So is the cog wheel railway from Lake Lugano to Monte Generoso, a mounain with panoramic views to some 5 lakes and the Alps (froim Mont Blanc up to Bernina)..
