Plan Your Zurich Holiday

You can tour the city by bike or bus and explore Swiss history in the old town. You may want to relax on the promenade before enjoying one of the many cultural and historical museums, art galleries or monuments that this thriving, dynamic, and cosmopolitan city has waiting for you. Please check the diary; Zurich can get busy, especially on National Day, 1st August.

During the peak season, June to August, we recommend that you reserve your tickets to Zurich in advance.
