Description:

Tour the old and new sights of Zurich then take in sweeping views of the Alps while traveling to quaint Rapperswil, the “Town of Roses.” This is a great opportunity to explore the city center as well as venture farther out into the charming alpine scenery.

Start with a guided city tour of Zurich and its commercial center, where you get a real feel for modern Swiss lifestyle. Then see contrasting sights as you visit a section of the Old Town, the Fraumünster Church with its famous Chagall windows, and the historical Limmatquai.

Journey along the Höhenstrasse alpine road, which offers spectacular views across the Alps, to Rapperswil, nicknamed the “Town of Roses.” This charming place on the shore of Lake Zurich features an imposing medieval Castle, a deer park on the Lindenhof, and a picturesque Old Town.

Between October and April, enjoy a grand 2-hour cruise on Lake Zurich. During winter months, take the scenic route back to Zurich aboard the Gold Coast Express train, which follows the shoreline of the lake.
