Sightseeing in Zurich Switzerland

Synonymous with international banking, Zurich is now one of Europe’s trendiest cities making sightseeing in Zurich Switzerland an enthralling experience. From the famous Bahnhofstrasse shopping mile to the Schipfe artisan quarter, Zurich is an exciting mix of tradition, culture, quaint old squares and streets, riverside cafes and funky bars. In summer, the view of the city is beautiful, with its clear blue sky and the lake reflecting the Alps. In winter snowfalls bring a magic of their own. Typically daily sightseeing in Zurich Switzerland covers the compact area either side of the River Limmat, between the Hauptbahnhof and Lake Zürich. The churches and burgher houses of the Old Town are clustered here, as are the elegant shops along Bahnhofstrasse. The Baroque Rathaus (Town Hall) and Zürich’s most impressive churches all lay within a short distance of the River Limmat, near to where it opens onto the lake. A Zurich city tour will enable you to discover all Zurich has to offer. A Zurich sightseeing tour is included in flexible city packages which enable you to customise your own experience.
