Lake Zurich
No. 1 of Best Things to Do in Zurich

Lake Zurich

6.9
4.8/5
520 reviews
Lake Zurich is a glacial lake on the Swiss Plateau, formed by glacial erosion. It is shaped like a crescent moon and stretches nearly 30 km southeast from downtown Zurich. The lakeshore slopes gently, with vineyards and orchards spread out in layers on the gentle slopes. On clear days, standing by the lake and looking south, the outline of the Alps is clearly visible. The lakeside promenade is flat and easy to walk. Strolling, jogging, picnicking, and sunbathing are daily pastimes for locals. In summer, the lakeside swimming areas are popular, and jumping into the water for a few laps is a common way for residents in this area to cool off. There are year-round boat services, allowing you to travel from the pier at the city's lake outlet all the way to Rapperswil at the southeastern end, offering a different perspective of the gentle slopes and small towns on both banks. Swans and wild ducks are frequent visitors here, often swimming in groups to the shore and leisurely circling around visitors' feet.Stafa · 2.3km from downtown

Bahnhofstrasse
No. 6 of Night Attractions in Switzerland

Bahnhofstrasse

6.5
4.8/5
445 reviews
Bahnhofstrasse is located on the west side of the Limmat, starting from Station Square in front of Zurich Main Station in the north and ending at Buerkliplatz on the shores of Lake Zurich in the south, with a total length of approx. 1.4 km. This street is actually quite young: it was only after Zurich demolished its old city walls and filled in the moat in the 1860s that this straight street was opened on the low-lying land formerly known as "Frog Ditch." Today, it is often compared to New York's Fifth Avenue and has long been ranked among the most expensive shopping streets in Europe, serving as a city landmark for Zurich. It also has a famous nickname—the "Wall Street of Switzerland." Zurich is an internationally renowned financial city, with banks and financial institutions clustered along the street; the headquarters of UBS Group (UBS) is located next to Paradeplatz along the way. Even more intriguing is the long-standing rumor that many banks store their gold reserves in underground vaults beneath the street. Switzerland has also long been one of the world's major hubs for gold trading, so it's no wonder some call it the "Golden Avenue." Thinking about the vaults that might be buried beneath your feet while strolling along is quite a fascinating experience.Zurich · 20.9km from Stafa
Zurich Old Town

Zurich Old Town

6.5
4.7/5
96 reviews
Zurich Old Town straddles both banks of the Limmat and serves as the city's historic core. Compared to the modern urban landscape of riverside banks and office buildings, it still retains the layout of a medieval town: winding cobblestone alleys, scattered old houses, guild halls, and street fountains. Standing on the riverbank, you can see the Old Town's three iconic churches at a glance—the twin-towered Grossmunster, St. Peter's Church, which features a clock face nearly 9m in diameter, and Fraumunster, famous for its Chagall stained-glass windows. Zurich Old Town is best explored on foot. Augustinergasse is lined with old houses featuring painted bay windows and vintage signs, making it one of the most recognizable alleys in the Old Town. For a panoramic view, head up to Lindenhof Hill; this former Roman castle site is now a vantage point for overlooking the Old Town's rooftops and the Limmat. Many old buildings have been converted into trendy restaurants, bars, and cafes, with bookstores and gift shops tucked away in the deep alleys. The Niederdorf area is a bustling shopping district by day, and after dark, its restaurants and bars light up, so it never feels repetitive even if you stroll from the afternoon well into the night.Zurich · 21km from Stafa

The Zurich Museum of Fine Arts is located in the old town and has the richest collection of modern works in Switzerland. In addition to the works of the famous Swiss surrealist painter Alberto Giacometti, there are also works by Picasso, Monet, Chagall, etc. The entrance of the Zurich Art Museum is Rodin's famous sculpture - the gate of hell. The museum houses many famous works of art in Switzerland, including many Swiss painters' paintings, sculptures and prints, most of which are works from the 19th and 20th centuries. . Alberto Giacometti's paintings and sculptures are especially worth seeing, his work is a display of the emotions inherent in individual life and the spirit of human tragedy. Works by other painters such as Alfred Hodler and Arnold Boecklin also deserve attention.Zurich · 20.3km from Stafa
Grossmunster
No. 9 of Night Attractions in Switzerland

Grossmunster

6.1
4.7/5
202 reviews
Grossmunsterstands on the banks of the Limmat, facing the Fraumünster on the opposite bank. The church is primarily in a typical Romanesque style, and its twin towers are now considered a symbol of Zurich; the composer Wagner once jokingly called them a pair of "pepper pots". Outside the south tower of the church stands a seated statue of Charlemagne holding a sword; it is a replica, with the original housed in the crypt. The crypt and the chancel area where the choir stalls are located are the oldest surviving parts of the church, dating back to the late 11th to early 12th century, with traces of the original frescoes still visible on the walls. In the early 16th century, the reformer Zwingli served as a priest here and preached his reformist ideas, making the church the birthplace of the Reformation in German-speaking Switzerland. The simple, white interior today is a legacy of this reformation. Inside the hall, you can also see stained glass windows designed by Swiss artist Augusto Giacometti, as well as bronze doors carved with images of Zwingli and Charlemagne. The cloister houses a Reformation museum, and climbing the south tower offers views over the Old Town, the Limmat, and the Lake Zurich area.Zurich · 20.5km from Stafa

Rigi

4.7/5
332 reviews
Rigi is renowned as the "queen of the mountains" and serves as the Alpine foothills extending into Switzerland's central plateau. On clear days, standing at the Rigi Kulm viewing platform and gazing northeast, one's view stretches across the Swiss plateau dotted with lakes, all the way to Germany's Black Forest and France's Vosges Mountains. Turning around reveals the continuous Alpine peaks and the azure Lake Lucerne at the foot. On sunny mornings, the summit often gathers travelers who come specifically to witness the Alpine sunrise, a quintessential experience of this mountain. As early as the 19th century, this was a favored holiday destination for European high society, with cultural figures like Victor Hugo having reached the summit. In 1868, Queen Victoria of England also ascended by sedan chair. Today, the ascent remains distinctive: the cogwheel railway from Vitznau, built in 1871, is one of Europe's earliest mountain railways; from Goldau, a cogwheel railway also leads directly to the summit. If starting from Weggis, you can take a cable car to enjoy aerial views of the lake and mountains before arriving at Kaltbad midway up the mountain. This mountain features gentle slopes, with over a hundred km of walking trails extending layer by layer along one side. The area boasts a rich variety of alpine flowers, including a dedicated mountain flower path that offers a particularly pleasant stroll during blooming seasons. A scenic, gradual slope trail from the summit takes approx. 2 hrs to complete, presenting lovely views with minimal physical demand. The mid-mountain resort of Kaltbad is ideal year-round: winter activities include skiing, sledding, ice skating, and cross-country skiing, with beginners able to enroll in ski school courses. Scattered across the slopes are restaurants, hotels, and holiday apartments featuring terraces and viewpoints—perfect for resting tired legs while dining with panoramic lake and mountain views.Arth · 27.8km from Stafa

The exhibition hall is large, divided into a new hall and an old hall. It's recommended to start with the old hall. It mainly showcases Swiss history from various perspectives. The service is excellent, and there are interactive elements with visitors, making it a highly recommended destination. The hall has Wi-Fi, but there is no Chinese audio guide. Only English, French, German, and Italian are available.

Bahnhofstrasse is Zurich's most famous shopping street, luxurious and full of vitality! It is full of top brand stores, exquisite cafes and century-old shops, which is very stylish to visit. The street is clean and elegant, with trams running through it, retro and modern. Although the prices are high, the window viewing and street photography are worth it! It is recommended to experience the exquisite life in Switzerland, remember to bring your wallet~

The Old Town of Zurich is a preserved part of the original urban appearance of Zurich's old city. It is the living environment of the earliest Swiss people. It lacks commercial atmosphere and high-rise buildings, but retains the leisurely and affluent life of the most simple old European residents.

Really nice museum for soccer fans, though I'm not, easy access on which floor to go to, clear displays and merchandise were fully stocked. Staffs were friendly for checking in and where to store bags in locker that was just at the basement. Great for company team building, students(they were quite noisy) and family

If you’re visiting Zurich, make sure to add Kunsthaus Zürich to your itinerary. As Switzerland’s largest art museum, it houses an impressive collection ranging from the Middle Ages to contemporary masterpieces.From works by Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso, and Munch to striking modern installations, every gallery offers a unique journey through art history. Even if you’re not an art enthusiast, the museum’s architecture, atmosphere, and world-class exhibitions make it worth a visit.One of my favorite parts was the museum shop, filled with beautifully designed books, postcards, and creative souvenirs that make perfect keepsakes from Zurich.

苏黎世大教堂有诸多亮点,涵盖建筑、艺术、历史等多个方面,以下是详细介绍: 建筑特色 - 双塔地标:苏黎世大教堂的双塔是苏黎世公认的地标,塔楼始建于13世纪,新哥特式的塔尖则是在1781年至1787年由Johann Caspar Vögeli和Johannes Haggen mille所建,从远处望去,高耸的双塔格外醒目,成为城市天际线的重要组成部分。  - 罗马式风格:教堂主体为罗马式建筑风格,厚重的墙壁、半圆形的拱门和拱顶,展现出罗马式建筑的沉稳与庄重,内部空间宽敞,给人以庄严之感。  艺术珍品 - 彩色玻璃:有瑞士现代艺术大师贾科梅蒂创作的唱诗班窗户,色彩鲜艳、图案精美。还有2005年西格玛尔·波尔克在竞赛中获胜后创作的一系列新窗户,为教堂增添了现代艺术气息。  - 青铜大门:由奥托·蒙克打造,共有两组。南侧大门于1935-1938年完成,刻画着宗教改革场景;北侧大门于1950年完成,描绘了圣经中的场景,人物形象栩栩如生,工艺精湛。  - 教堂管风琴:1876年由尼波穆克·库恩制造的管风琴被1960年的梅茨勒管风琴所取代,其音色优美,是专业的管风琴培训地点,也会举办各种音乐活动。 历史文化 - 宗教改革意义:1520年,慈运理在苏黎世大教堂任职期间开始了瑞士德语区宗教改革,1523年,当地政权批准教会与罗马教宗断绝关系,使这个教堂成为瑞士德语区宗教改革的诞生地。 - 历史遗迹:教堂的地下墓穴是最古老的部分,建于11世纪末至12世纪初,里面有旧的褪色壁画,描绘了守护神圣菲利克斯和瑞古拉等。  - 相关博物馆:教堂设有宗教改革博物馆,展示了宗教改革的历史背景、过程和影响等,还设有苏黎世大学神学院,是研究宗教和神学的重要场所。 观景体验 - 卡尔塔楼:塔楼靠近利马特河,游客可以攀登187级台阶到达塔顶,沿途能体验狭窄蜿蜒的楼梯和木质平台,在塔顶的观景室和露天平台上,可将苏黎世老城、利马特河以及远处的阿尔卑斯山等美景尽收眼底。

Amazing view from the top. A 360° view of the snowcapped mountains in the distance and lakes below. The view from the train up was also amazing with the view of the lake and mountain at a really steep angle. Get the ferry from Lucerne and you've got a spectacular view all the way. There's another older train from the top that goes on route b through the valley round the back but there's not much to see as it's mostly through the forest.
