Want to discover Switzerland by train and stop off in Zurich? Located on the shores of Lake Zurich and the Limmat River, Zurich combines bustling city life, historical heritage, and nearby nature. It's the ideal destination for a city break combining culture, leisurely strolls, and car-free mobility. With its central station (Zürich HB) and its network of trams, buses, and boats, you can get around very easily without a car.
In Zurich's Altstadt, the cobbled streets and old buildings offer a real glimpse into history. Here you can discover the churches of Grossmünster and Fraumünster, whose stained-glass windows add a remarkable artistic touch. And for a breathtaking view, the Lindenhof promontory offers a peaceful viewpoint over the city and the river.
Lake Zurich and the Limmat River are an integral part of the city's identity. A stroll along the quays or a cruise on the lake allow you to breathe in and appreciate the serenity of the place. And if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, you can take in the view of the city, the lake, and the Alps from Mount Uetliberg (accessible by train), or take a half-day train trip to the surrounding area.
