Best Tours & activities in Zurich (2026)

A guided tour is a good way to start a stay in Zurich. Zürich Tourism runs a two-hour Old Town walk from the Visitor Information office in the main station, covering Bahnhofstrasse, the Lindenhof and the Grossmünster, as well as themed walks and a three-hour food tour that visits six restaurants. For a different perspective, the Zürichsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft (ZSG) operates Lake Zurich cruises from Bürkliplatz, from a one-hour round trip to a four-and-a-half-hour journey to Rapperswil and back, plus two historic paddle steamers and small boats on the Limmat.

eTukTuk Zürich offers 90-minute city tours in electric tuk-tuks for up to four people, a fun option for families or anyone short on time. For day trips, Best of Switzerland Tours runs coach excursions from the Sihlquai bus station near the main station, including an afternoon trip to the Rhine Falls and Stein am Rhein and full-day tours to the Jungfraujoch, Titlis and Pilatus. The Zürich Card gives free or reduced travel on some cruises and a discount on public walking tours, so it is worth buying if you plan to combine several activities.
