"Garden city between the Limmat and Warehouses" 
"Recreation right outside your frontdoor" ....as well as Gewurtztraminer, Reisling and Pinot Noir
"Trade and Commerce without borders".
Also within walking distance (25 mins) is the old spa resort town of Baden, which has been home to thermal baths for centuries. Not that we are into that!
We had to register our move from Zurich to Wettingen with the local authorities, and surprisingly as part of the induction process we were given "Iodine tablets". We are within a potential radius from a nuclear power plant, so surprised us a little with what is currently going on in Japan!
Baden and Wettingen are on the Limmat River which is the river that runs through Zurich.
Our apartment is what we call a "sports apartment", 60 steps up and 60 steps down. Though it is still small, it is much more liveable than the "rat hole" that we were accommodated in for 3 months on our arrival in Zurich.
Not surprisingly, it has a view. Something we haven't had for awhile!
So we have good local rail, road and air links to most places that we will be wanting to go during the next few weeks. Working on a few things....have a few agencies at our behest....and awaiting that serendipitous phonecall.
"Trade and Commerce without borders".After not persevering with our Zurich employers after the initial three months, we finally managed to find a temporary furnished/serviced apartment but had to travel 20 minutes (by train) out of Zurich, so we are now camping in Wettingen. Quite a nice town of 20,000, with all the services we require within walking distance, including a good Italian deli/butcher! Known locally as "the garden city", or "town in the country"!
