Board a comfortable, climate-controlled coach and discover the best attractions in Zurich on a guided bus tour. You'll admire the castle-like Swiss National Museum, the luxurious shopping avenue Bahnhofstrasse, and Zurich's renowned financial district. You'll also enjoy the view of the crystal-clear Lake Zurich during a photo stop at Enge Harbor.

You'll then continue along the lake, passing the Grand Opera House and the university quarter with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) and the University of Zurich. After this glimpse of the city, the lake, and the snow-covered Alps, you'll drive past the “Kunsthaus” art museum down to the charming Old Town. The bus tour includes a short walk of 15-20 minutes through Zurich's old town.

Finally, you'll reach the nearby Bürkliplatz and embark on your own on a scenic 1-hour cruise on crystal-clear Lake Zurich past grand lakeside villas and popular lidos. Sit back and relax as you listen to compelling stories about the history of the city, the lake, and the surrounding mountains over an audio guide app on your own device before ending the tour at Bürkliplatz.

Starting from 1 April 2026, you also have the option to enhance your experience with a visit to the FIFA Museum after the tour, and explore the world of football through interactive exhibits, historic artefacts, and exciting displays. This optional visit gives you the opportunity to see more of Zurich and discover one of the city’s top attractions.
