Designed to offer both urban experiences and breathtaking views, this itinerary showcases the best that Zürich has to offer—from its architectural marvels to its surrounding landscapes.

Start Your Journey in Central Zürich

Admire the striking exterior of the National Museum, catch a glimpse of bustling Bahnhofstrasse known for world-class shopping and discover landmark Swiss architecture.

Explore Zürich’s Old Town

Step into the historic Old Town (Altstadt), where cobblestone streets are lined with charming guild houses and centuries-old buildings. Here, your guide will lead you past:

  • Grossmünster Church, famous for twin towers and role in Zürich’s Reformation

  • Fraumünster Church, renowned for beautiful stained-glass windows by Marc Chagall

Take in the rich character and stories that make up Zürich’s historic center, with time for photographs and learning about the city’s evolution over the centuries.

Discover the Golden Landscape

Ascend to Felsenegg by Cable Car

The journey continues as you arrive in Adliswil to board the Felsenegg aerial cable car, the only one of its kind in the region. Ascend smoothly to a scenic viewpoint where stunning outlooks across Lake Zürich, the city’s rooftops and the mountain ranges open up before you.
