A good bachelor or bachelorette party has one highlight everyone remembers, and enough time to celebrate afterwards. It must not be embarrassing for the person it is about, and it has to work for a group where not everyone knows each other. Here are nine ideas for Zurich, with price, duration and the question of how many people they need to make sense.
