Zurich cafés 11 Juin - 11 July
Zurich, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – Zurich’s football fans who fancy watching the matches at their favourite cafes will now be able to do so sitting outdoors on the sidewalk or terraces, reports Le Matin.
The city doesn’t allow cafes and restaurants to broadcast with sound outside, for noise pollution reasons. An exception is being made for the World Cup after locals cried foul over the city ordinance. But – no exceptions allowed – cafes have a maximum of 15 minutes to turn off the sound after a match ends.
