Hi Cin,
the little booklet is either lying around in stacks in several places at the train station (in larger train stations) or you can ask for it at the ticket counter, the information desk or the tourist information.
The flea market on Bükliplatz in Zürich is on Saturdays, and I couldn´t find any other market open on sundays. But the museums are open, so you could visit the kunsthaus, a big artmuseum, for example.
www.zuerich.ch got all events and sights listed in english as well. Or you could take a ride on a steamer on lake zürich if the weather is nice.
Hi Jenny,
the swiss pass is a travel pass for the swiss train system which gives you unlimited travel and discounts in some places such as museums, Jungfraujoch, glacier express, etc.
It exists in 1st and 2nd class and it is not really worth getting first class. The difference is usually not that great between first and second class and you safe quite a bit of money.
Since you will be travelling as a couple, it might be better for you to get the swiss saver pass or the swiss saver flexipass. Rates and details are under:
www.raileurope.com
Here what I found about the swiss saver flexi pass on that page:
