Winterthur is a city in the canton of Zürich in northern Switzerland. It
has the country's sixth largest population with an estimate of more
than 100,000 people. In the local dialect and by its inhabitants, it is
usually abbreviated as Winti. Today Winterthur is a service and high
tech industry centre, but many people make use of its proximity to
Zürich, which lies approximately 30 kilometres (19 mi) to the
south-west, and only 18 minutes by train.
