- ✓Explore the enchanting charm of Zurich's Old Town, a lively district steeped in history, culture, and timeless beauty. Stroll through its narrow, cobblestone streets, flanked by medieval buildings, boutique shops, and inviting cafés. Admire iconic landmarks such as the Grossmünster and St. Peter's Church, home to Europe’s largest clock face. Whether you're uncovering hidden alleys, browsing unique stores, or simply enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of its picturesque squares, Zurich's Old Town promises a captivating journey into the city’s rich heritage. The next few stops are all located within this historic quarter.
- ✓We will marvel at the stunning exterior of the Grossmünster Church.
- ✓The Fraumünster Church is one of Zurich's most iconic landmarks, known for its elegant architecture and stunning stained glass windows. We will admire it from outside.
- ✓St. Peter's Church in Zurich is famous for having the largest clock face in Europe. With a diameter of 8.7 meters (28.5 feet), the clock dominates the church's tower and is a striking feature of Zurich's skyline.
- ✓Lindenhof is a tranquil oasis in the heart of Zurich, steeped in history dating back to 80 BC and recognized as the birthplace of the city's story. With its stunning views, this picturesque park also serves as a perfect spot for capturing memorable photos.
- ✓The Polybahn, in operation since 1889, connects the central square near Zurich’s main train station (Central) with the upper part of the city, leading to the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich).
- ✓Rindermarkt is a historic and picturesque square in Zurich’s Old Town (Altstadt), known for its charming blend of medieval architecture and modern city life. Once a bustling cattle market — as its name suggests — Rindermarkt has transformed into a lively area filled with cozy cafés, boutique shops, and inviting restaurants.
- ✓After exploring the city and taking a short hike on the local hill, we’ll return to Zurich by boat. During the 45-minute cruise on Lake Zurich, we’ll talk about chocolate while passing by the Lindt Chocolate Factory and admire one of the lake’s most exclusive areas, home to celebrities like Tina Turner.
- ✓After the city walking tour, we’ll head to one of Zurich’s local gems, either Uetliberg or Felsenegg, where we’ll take a short train or aerial cable car ride to enjoy breathtaking panoramic views. This popular recreational spot for locals offers stunning vistas of Zurich, the lake, and the snow-capped Alps. We’ll also take a leisurely hike along the unique "Planetweg" trail, which showcases a scaled-down model of our solar system. Surrounded by the fresh air and beauty of the forest, we’ll wrap up the experience with a scenic boat ride back to Zurich.
