Description

Are you willing to avoid the "tourist bubbles" and discover the charm of the tiny cobblestone streets in the Old Town, to walk through the parks and pedestrian zones, to feel the smells, to hear the bells, to fill your bottle with fresh water at one of the 1200' fountains that Zurich has to offer, to enjoy the nearby nature oases and to relax on a ferry cruise? This is the tour that offers you a good introduction to Zurich, great photo opportunities, and a 90-minute cruise on Lake Zurich. SUMMER (April - October) tour starts 9:45 AM at LANDESMUSEUM (Museumstrasse 2); WINTER (November - March) tour starts at 11:45 AM at LIMMATHOF Hotel (Limmatquai 142).
