Switzerland · ZURICH EXPERIENCES
Most Swiss trips land here, and the good ones use it properly: the old town lanes, the lake boats, the chocolate house at Kilchberg and the day trips that still get back for dinner. These 15 are where to start.
Zurich’s Lindt Home of Chocolate pairs a 9-meter fountain, audio-guided museum story, and unlimited tastings with a real production view.
“The organization, cleanliness and the course was amazing. You can taste the chocolates, see the story and bring with you chocolates of many kind!”
Zurich to Grindelwald, Interlaken, and Lauterbrunnen in one long day. Eiger-Mönch-Jungfrau views, Mt. First options, and waterfalls.
“The trip was amazing and definitely worth the money. The guides were super knowledgeable, even providing fun facts and general info about the towns on the journey there. They gave us a lot of advice and tips for each town and made clear the times we had to return to the bus and how long we were in each town. The journey was very smooth - thank you Paolo! Unfortunately, due to weather, we were unable to complete the First Cliff walk however still bought tickets to the second stop at the cable car and the view was amazing. Overall, would highly recommend if you have limited time in Zurich…”
Half-day Zurich by bus, guided Old Town walk, Lake cruise, and Lindt tastings, plus optional FIFA Museum.
“Rolf Bühler is amazing, he made our tour so informative, funny and smooth ( transformation, walking, everything was just on time, no rush ) Highly recommended.”
Zurich bus day trip to Rapperswil, Heidiland or Werdenberg, and Liechtenstein, plus Alpine views over Ricken Pass and Vaduz free time.
“Really enjoyed it. The tour guide and the coach driver were really nice guys. The coach was very comfortable. The only small issue was that maybe perhaps for about 40% of the tour guide spoke in Spanish which I did find a little disappointing as I don’t really speak much Spanish. But other than that, I have no complaints.”
Old Town highlights, Lake Zurich ferry, and a cable car to Felsenegg. A guided 4.5-hour circuit for $83 with big views.
“Stephanie was a great guide, clear and informative. Very helpful. Tour was great value. Would do it again.”
Half-day from Zurich to Rhine Falls and medieval Stein am Rhein, with castle stops, panoramic views, and optional boat ride.
“For a half day tour you get to visit two very awesome places. Amazing and relaxing since it s not a whole day. Me and my husband were thrilled. An experience not to be missed.”
Zurich day trip to Mount Titlis and Lucerne: Rotair cable car, Cliff Walk, Glacier Cave, plus winter snow tubing options.
“Well organized. Love our time to explore in Lucern by ourselves. We visited several churches and Christmas markets. The ride to the top of the mountain was amazing and the ice cave and cliff were great. Our weather was sleet and snow but still enjoyed ourselves”
Day trip from Zurich to Rapperswil, Liechtenstein’s Vaduz, and Heidiland with Alps views from a comfy coach and a smart 7.5-hour plan.
“Wet and cold today, but managed to enjoy beautiful scenery and snow while we visited Rapperswil and Vaduz. Overall was a worthwhile trip for us!”
Zurich to Jungfraujoch for the Top of Europe, glacier walk at the Ice Palace, and a V-Cableway Eiger Express ride back.
“Kid was, and I made sure he was aware of it, the greatest tour guide I've had in all my years of traveling. The tour itself was great as I received a great mix of everything, active and knowledgeable tour guide, different modes of transportation, time to walk around and enjoy the fresh air, and beautiful views.”
FIFA Museum Zurich ticket for $32. See the original World Cup trophy, 1,000+ objects, audio guide, and interactive pinball. Great for families.
“If you are a football fan , you will enjoy the FIFA museum With items from every World Cup finals on display Every international shirt on display As well as every trophy under played under FIFA First me the best the items on display from the works cup finals ( including shirts , footballs , medals and such items as the referees whistle and Diego forlan hairband !!) The museum is easy to get to as well If you are in Zurich and love football then I would recommend the FIFA museum”
12-hour Jungfraujoch day trip from Zurich with gondola, cogwheel rail, Ice Palace tunnels, Interlaken stop, and Sphinx views.
“It is a great experience, at over 11k feet the oxygen levels will have an effect on your functioning abilities. How many times will you have this opportunity, bring water, sit when you can and help whoever your with. I’m in my 60’s may be different for young adults.”
A half-day coach tour linking Zurich Old Town, a Lake Zurich ferry, and the Felsenegg cable car for big views and easy orientation.
“It was a nice tour of Zurich with great ride on cable car and cozy little restaurant on the top. It was a foggy day so we couldn't enjoy what probably is a great view, but none the less ghe expirience was great.”
Zurich bus tour plus Lake Zurich cruise. Air-conditioned comfort, audio in 11 languages, key sights, and mountain views from the water.
“The top deck should of the bus should have some fan or way to keep cool. It was super hot bit overall great trip.”
Zurich day trip to Lucerne and Mount Titlis with Rotair 360 views, Cliff Walk, ice cave, and time in Engelberg, plus Glacier fun.
“It was AMAZING! Ample of time to walk around the village before we headed to Titlis. Very friendly tour guide. This is a must do when you visit Zürich”
Zurich to Lucerne and Mount Pilatus in one day: gondolas, cogwheel fun, and a Lake Lucerne cruise, with a quick Lucerne break.
“The first stop to Lucerne was a strike. Don’t combined Lucerne with Mt. Pilatus or add more time and drop off the tourists closer to town because we had to walk like 30 mins round trip and this left us with 30 mins.. Lucerne should be a four hour tour in its self or just take the train from Zurich it’s only 40 minutes. The journey to see Mt Pilates was awesome. So impressive to see this mountain. The only negative I have is about the return boat ride. The staff selling food are thieves they charged me $7.30 CHF for a bottle of water. Make sure you are not…”
Every kind of Swiss day out, and the best of each.
