Overview
Take a trip to Zurich on your Switzerland Vacation
Nestled along the northern edge of Lake Zurich in the north-central region of Switzerland, Zurich is the country's largest city. Beyond its reputation as one of the globe's premier financial centres, Zurich is a living testament to history and cultural diversity, exemplified by its diverse array of museums. The Swiss National Museum, dedicated to Swiss cultural history, and the Kunsthaus Zurich, renowned for its European art collection, both showcase an impressive array of Swiss and international contemporary art.
The Limmat River will guide you through Zurich's vibrant streets, revealing a rich history evidenced by more than 50 museums and over 100 art galleries. Discover the twisting lanes through the medieval houses, guild halls, and Renaissance-era town halls, each telling the stories of Altstadt, Zurich's Old Town.
Walk through settlements tracing back to pre-Roman times in the Lindenhof District, Zurich's oldest. Enjoy dramatic views of Zurich's antiquity atop the Lindenhof Hill's Roman-era castle. This hilltop area is a mosaic of prehistoric, Roman, and medieval remnants holding the esteemed status of a Swiss heritage site of national significance. Traverse Zurich's historical districts, churches and old buildings and listen to the countless stories of Zurich's past, seamlessly integrated with the modern luxury of Bahnhofstrasse, home to some of the world's most exclusive stores.

What do the experts say?
To make your trip that little bit more special, Goway can upgrade Swiss Travel Passes just for a day so guests can experience the panoramic trains in a higher class of service without paying the increase for their entire trip
Winter and Summer are the best time to visit. Winter provides arguably the best scenic pictures, world-class skiing, and unique winter experiences. Summer provides some of the best hiking, and comfortable summer temperatures for touring.
If you are looking for somewhere off the beaten track, then make sure you visit Bachalpsee. This stunning mountain lake located in the Bernese Oberland is one of the most picturesque locations in Switzerland
Switzerland experiences four distinct seasons, with generally mild summers and cold, snowy winters, but be prepared for unpredictable weather, especially in the mountains, where conditions can change rapidly.
Switzerland is a multilingual country, with four official languages: German, French, Italian, and Romansh.

Specifically, our travel advisor, Maria, has helped us book phenomenal trips to Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and most recently, Iceland.

I can’t say enough about Maria… she is personable, efficient, detail-oriented, and extremely knowledgeable about her specialty destinations.
