The New in Zurich Tour offers all the insider information you need to know about the culture, the lifestyle, and even the language (Swiss German).<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like a beginner introduction to downtown Zurich, join the 1.5-hour tour to learn about its history, architecture and hidden gems. Since \u2018free\u2019 sparked our interest, we joined a massive group of tourists to wander around the city and even got to nibble on classic Swiss chocolates at the end. It\u2019s a great way to mingle with other visitors and make a friend or two. Most of the public tours are free, but you can tip the guide if you\u2019d like. Alternatively, pay a small fee to indulge in the chocolate tour and discover Switzerland\u2019s fascination with its iconic treat.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Explore the city\u2019s Old Town<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_280556\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-280556\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-280556 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/zurich-things-to-do-clock-tower-900x643.png\" alt=\"zurich things to do | clock tower\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/zurich-things-to-do-clock-tower-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/zurich-things-to-do-clock-tower-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/zurich-things-to-do-clock-tower.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-280556\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Benita Lee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Most cities in Switzerland feature a charming Old Town, and Zurich is no exception. Its historic city centre, otherwise known as Alstadt, features majestic architecture and cobbled streets, with the Limmat River running through it into Lake Zurich.<\/p>\n<p>Make your way to Grossm\u00fcnster to admire the double cathedral towers, Fraum\u00fcnster to gaze at the stained glass windows, and St. Peter\u2019s Church, which is known for housing the largest clock face in Europe. Night owls can stay on after sunset and saunter around the Niederdorf district, which comes to life with bars and pubs once evening approaches.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Admire nature\u2019s beauty at Lake Zurich<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_280554\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-280554\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-280554 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/things-to-do-in-zurich-walk-by-the-lake-900x643.png\" alt=\"things to do in zurich | walk by the lake\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/things-to-do-in-zurich-walk-by-the-lake-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/things-to-do-in-zurich-walk-by-the-lake-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/things-to-do-in-zurich-walk-by-the-lake.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-280554\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Benita Lee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Right in the city centre, the gleaming turquoise waters are perfect for swimming adventures in summer, picnic fun and boat trips. Stroll along the waterfront to get your step count in, do it on a two-wheeler, have a drink at one of the bars, or enjoy an alfresco dinner.<\/p>\n<p>If you fancy a thrill, spike your heart rate with water sports like canoeing, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, wakeboarding and sailing. Or relax on a picturesque cruise &#8211; some of them offer themes like murder mystery, salsa, and sunset for a unique experience.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Discover the city\u2019s best museums<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_280552\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-280552\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-280552 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/things-to-do-in-zurich-swiss-national-museum-900x643.png\" alt=\"things to do in zurich | swiss national museum\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/things-to-do-in-zurich-swiss-national-museum-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/things-to-do-in-zurich-swiss-national-museum-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/things-to-do-in-zurich-swiss-national-museum.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-280552\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Benita Lee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Zurich is home to countless museums, from massive crowd favourites to unique niche ones. Start off at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.landesmuseum.ch\/en\" rel=\"nofollow\">Swiss National Museum<\/a>, which is conveniently located behind the main train station, for a peek into the country\u2019s history and culture. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kunsthaus.ch\/en\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Kunsthaus Zurich<\/a> is another bigwig &#8211; specialising in the realm of Swiss fine art, its collections include paintings, prints, sculptures and drawings from the 13th century to the present. Meanwhile, horology hobbyists can take a gander at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyer-ch.com\/en\/clock-and-watch-museum\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Beyer Clock and Watch Museum<\/a> to view rare items and artefacts.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a soccer supporter, you\u2019ll kick yourself in the foot for missing out on the official <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifamuseum.com\/en\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Fifa World Football Museum<\/a>. Open since 2016, it\u2019s a vibrant look into the history of the sport, with interactive areas for fans to show off their goal-scoring skills. But our choice pick is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zm.uzh.ch\/en.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">Zoological Museum of the University of Zurich<\/a>. Spend the afternoon marvelling at the permanent exhibition\u2019s array of 1,500 animals and fossil specimens, or watch shows (in German) on zoo geography and the Ice Age.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Dive into all things chocolate at Lindt<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_280551\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-280551\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-280551 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/zurich-things-to-do-lindt-chocolate-museum-900x643.png\" alt=\"zurich things to do | lindt chocolate museum\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/zurich-things-to-do-lindt-chocolate-museum-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/zurich-things-to-do-lindt-chocolate-museum-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/zurich-things-to-do-lindt-chocolate-museum.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-280551\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Benita Lee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lindt-home-of-chocolate.com\/en\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Lindt Home of Chocolate<\/a> is admittedly a touristy spot &#8211; and it sits on the outskirts of the city centre. But it\u2019s well worth the trek (or bus ride), especially if you\u2019re a choco-holic. Step into the building and you\u2019ll be greeted by a towering chocolate fountain next to the biggest Lindt chocolate shop stocked with all the treats your heart desires. Our favourite part? Exploring the museum on an interactive chocolate tour. Tip: book your tickets online in advance as they sell out fast!<\/p>\n<p>We were barely able to contain our excitement at the start of the tour, which began with the cocoa bean-to-bar process. From the history of chocolate to the Swiss pioneers who made the country synonymous with it, the exhibitions are fascinating. Best of all, you get to stuff your face. Try white, milk and dark chocolate from the free-flowing fountains, sample flavoured chocolate bars, and grab unlimited handfuls of Lindt truffles before you head out.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Stroll down Bahnhofstrasse<\/h3>\n<p>Zurich is known for its hefty price tags, but Bahnhofstrasse takes it to the next level. The famous shopping street is, of course, one of the most extravagant ones in the world. Department stores and the usual international luxury and high-street brands dot the stretch, which connects the bustling Zurich main station with Lake Zurich.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re done (window) shopping, take a seat at the popular Spr\u00fcngli Cafe to people-watch while enjoying hot chocolate and a pastry. We particularly loved John Baker&#8217;s aromatic baked goods and Confiseur Bachmann&#8217;s rich, creamy scoops of ice cream.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Go up Uetliberg, the \u201cmountain\u201d of Zurich<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_280557\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-280557\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-280557 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/zurich-things-to-do-uetliberg-900x643.png\" alt=\"zurich things to do | uetliberg\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/zurich-things-to-do-uetliberg-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/zurich-things-to-do-uetliberg-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/zurich-things-to-do-uetliberg.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-280557\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Check out the view from Uetliberg.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Sitting pretty at 2,850 feet above sea level, Uetliberg is popular for its panoramic views of the city, the lake, and even the Swiss Alps. For summer visitors, hike up the walking trail (it takes anywhere from 45 minutes to two hours) or cycle to the top on the mountain bike route. When winter rolls around, the hiking paths become toboggan and sledding runs for frosty fun. If you\u2019d rather do it the easy way, take a 20-minute train from the main Zurich station.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve reached the peak, climb the observation tower for gorgeous sights. You can pop into one of the restaurants afterwards for fondue and rosti, or pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the breeze. Tip: head over early to avoid the crowds, especially during the summer season.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Scout out Zurich West<\/h3>\n<p>This one\u2019s for the cool kids. Call it funky, quirky or trendy &#8211; this former industrial area is now a vibrant neighbourhood home to street art, unique boutiques, artsy galleries and more. You\u2019ll find indoor food markets, designer shops, farmers\u2019 markets and crowd favourite restaurants sprinkled around the Viadukt, which stretches between the Limmat River and Hardbrucke station.<\/p>\n<h3>9. Eat and drink traditional Swiss offerings<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_280553\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-280553\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-280553 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/zurich-things-to-do-swiss-food-900x643.png\" alt=\"zurich things to do | swiss food\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/zurich-things-to-do-swiss-food-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/zurich-things-to-do-swiss-food-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/zurich-things-to-do-swiss-food.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-280553\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cheese fondue? Yes, please.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Fondue, raclette, rosti &#8211; classic Swiss dishes abound in Zurich catering to all kinds of budgets. Head to the casual Swiss Chuchi Restaurant for cheesy fondue or Raclette Factory for more cheese classics. Zeughauskeller is another popular spot for Swiss food and draft beers, while Hiltl, with its extensive menu, is known for being the world\u2019s oldest vegetarian restaurant. For magnificent 360-degree views of the city, head up high to the Jules Verne Panorama Bar for scenic sights and cool cocktails.<\/p>\n<h3>10. Pamper yourself at a spa<\/h3>\n<p>For a lazy weekend, unwind at a lush spa. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aqua-spa-resorts.ch\/en\/hurlimannbad-spa-zurich\" rel=\"nofollow\">H\u00fcrlimannbad &amp; Spa Zurich<\/a> sits in a quiet quarter where an old brewery used to be. It\u2019s widely revered for the infinity pool that offers a dazzling view of the city, but don\u2019t miss out on the Roman-Irish spa ritual and the newly refurbished thermal bath area. For a centrally-located spot, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.labospa.ch\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Labo Spa<\/a> invites you in for a slice of paradise near Paradeplatz. Meanwhile, Stadtbad\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stadtbadzuerich.ch\/hammam-and-sauna\" rel=\"nofollow\">Hammam &amp; Sauna<\/a> takes inspiration from the Turkish hammam for a deeply relaxing experience.<\/p>\n<h3>11. Stay at a boutique hotel<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_280549\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-280549\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-280549 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/zurich-hotel-seidenhof-900x643.png\" alt=\"zurich hotel seidenhof\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/zurich-hotel-seidenhof-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/zurich-hotel-seidenhof-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/zurich-hotel-seidenhof.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-280549\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Hotel Seidenhof<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On our trip to Zurich, we stayed at <a href=\"https:\/\/hotelseidenhof.com\/en\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Hotel Seidenhof<\/a> and we\u2019ll rave about it any day. The rooms? Spotless and comfy. The service? First rate. This recently revamped boutique accommodation beckons you to its beautiful space that\u2019s classy and contemporary. We can\u2019t get enough of its amazing location either. You\u2019re situated right by Bahnhofstrasse, with countless shops, restaurants and supermarkets just steps away. Old Town, Lake Zurich and the main train station are within easy walking distance, too. Our only gripe is the limited breakfast buffet, which doesn\u2019t offer much variety. So if you\u2019re in town for a longer stretch of time, you might get bored of its offerings.<\/p>\n<p>The four-star hotel\u2019s rates are relatively affordable in comparison to others in the city, but if you\u2019ve already blown your budget, consider cheap and cheery hotels, Airbnb rentals or hostels instead.<\/p>\n<p>Bookmark our guide to help you make the most of your next trip to Zurich, Switzerland!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The financial powerhouse of Switzerland, Zurich tends to be brushed off for being less colourful than its counterparts.
