Zurich Highlights City Tour with Lake Cruise
Board your coach and set out past the castle-like Swiss National Museum, the luxurious shopping avenue Bahnhofstrasse and Zurich's renowned financial district. Enjoy a magnificent view of crystal-clear Lake Zurich during a photo stop at Enge harbor.
Continue along the lake, passing the Grand Opera House and the university quarter with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and the University of Zurich. Tour distinguished districts with stately mansions from glorious times past and convince yourself of the high standard of living on the threshold of the popular Zürichberg recreational area. Drive down to the charming Old Town for your guided walking tour. Marvel at the guild houses, see the famous St. Peter church with Europe's largest clock-face and Fraumünster, known for Marc Chagall's stained glass windows.
After saying goodbye to your tour guide, embark at Bürkliplatz on an independent scenic one-hour cruise on Lake Zurich past grand lakeside villas and popular lidos.
