Intro

In Zurich, find yourself marvelling at the historic buildings in the old town, strolling through the world-famous Bahnhofstrasse and enjoying Lake Zurich. Zurich offers you a mix like no other: a metropolis offering many sights meets water, nature and mountains. Simply spectacular!

Zurich at a glance

This is Zurich

Zurich is the largest city in Switzerland and its economic and financial centre. This city in the north of the country can be found on Lake Zurich and the Limmat River and is a top travel destination.

Discover Zurich

Start things off by wandering through Zurich’s old town and marvelling at its historic buildings, then make a stop at the Lindenhof and enjoy the view of the city and the lake: and this is just the start of your tour of discovery through Zurich. The tour continues on to Niederdorf and the city’s landmark: the Grossmünster church. Cross the Münsterbrücke bridge – a popular spot to stop and take a photo – and you’ll reach the Fraumünster, with its famous stained glass windows by Marc Chagall. A walk through Bahnhofstrasse to Lake Zurich will round off your day of sightseeing nicely.

Zurich, a city of gourmet pleasures

No other Swiss city has such a diverse range of restaurants, bars and cafés as Zurich. Here, you’ll find traditional guild parlours or classic gourmet temples. As well as Mediterranean, exotic, hip restaurants and uncomplicated inns or restaurants right by the lake. Be inspired by the wide range of restaurants on offer. What’s more: Zurich also has its own food festival.

Water and nature in the heart of the city

This is what makes Swiss cities like Zurich so attractive: you are in a metropolis, but surrounded by water and nature at the same time. Lake Zurich is the city’s main draw. Whether on a lake tour or while taking a dip in the clear water. The Limmat River also flows through Zurich and offers swimming spots as well as some wonderful places to eat and drink. Nature is omnipresent in Zurich: many parks and the city’s local mountain Uetliberg make your stay in the city an experience surrounded by nature.

Around Zurich

From Zurich, it is well worth taking a boat trip to Rapperswil, or a train ride to Winterthur or Baden. A sweet detour: a visit to the Lindt Home of Chocolate, around 15 minutes from Zurich. The Rhine Falls are also not far away. And if you want to hit the ski slopes in winter, you can quickly reach the Flumserberg or the Hoch-Ybrig from Zurich.

Experience Zurich for less

With the Zürich Card, you benefit from many discounts in restaurants, museums and shops and travel free of charge on public transport. An additional free luxury: Zurich has 1,200 fountains that provide fresh drinking water.
