Overview

Board your coach and set out past the castle-like Swiss National Museum, the luxurious Bahnhofstrasse, and Zurich's financial district. Enjoy views of crystal-clear Lake Zurich during a photo stop at Enge harbor.

Continue along the lake past the Grand Opera House and the university quarter with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and University of Zurich. Tour districts with stately mansions from past eras and experience the high standard of living on the edge of the popular Zürichberg recreational area. Drive down to the Old Town for a guided walking tour. Marvel at the guild houses, St. Peter Church with Europe’s largest clock face, and the Fraumünster, known for Chagall's stained glass windows.

Embark at Bürkliplatz on an independent one-hour scenic cruise past grand lakeside villas and popular lidos. Guests with the FIFA ticket can continue after the cruise to explore football history through interactive exhibits, original artifacts, and engaging displays at their own pace.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Zurich over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
