Take a trip on the beautiful lake. You get a new perspective on the city, see the beautiful houses on the banks, have a fantastic view to the Alps in the distance - and on top of that you can relax and rest your legs. We have been on the short round trip (90 minutes) twice and can recommend that.... More

We spent an afternoon in Zurich and we found ourselves admiring the beautiful view of Lake Zurich and surrounding mountains after walking a few kilometers from Zurich Bahnhofplatz through Bahnhofstrasse. This is simply worth the stroll!

I heard so much about the lake and every one who has been in Zurich told me that it is a must see. So I did and I am happy that I took the advice of all my friends. It is a sight to see. Clear water, bobbing boats of all sizes a d people just enjoying the rare sun... More

We had a long layover and took the train in from the airport. It was cheap, quick & painless. After a beautiful stroll filled with playgrounds, free (self cleaning) public toilets, Swiss chocolates, and fancy shoes stores we came to the lake. It is a wonderful place to relax and stretch your legs. Inexpensive pretzels/fruits/veggies at "The Coop" makes for... More

Beautiful, large lake for you to enjoy while in Zurich! You can rent a boat tour to take you across the lake. It's a beautiful view of the lake from the Old Town area of Zurich! Make sure to go to the Top of Zurich to see the lake from afar! My husband and I picnicked here while our daughter... More

I spent 90mins on one of the short trips around the lake. Not sure how much this normally costs, but if you buy one of the Zurich Cards (24CHF for 24hrs) you can do this trip for free. I left on the 14:30 cruise. There are about 6 or 7 stops along route where you can get off, and I... More
